Ahmad wrote, “My Late Grandmother Madam Noor Jehan "Is" the greatest artist of the subcontinent and that's a fact.”

He penned, “I have always respected Ali Azmat as an artist and as a friend. He is one of Pakistan's biggest rock star, his outspoken attitude has always been his trademark but his recent remarks over Noor Jehan were just in bad taste especially when that person is no longer alive.”

Ahmad stated, “I'm sure he also knows how big of a legacy Noor Jehan has and 1000 rock bands can't measure up to her 1 song.”

“I don't hold it against him because he is an artist also and very well knows that respect comes when you give respect, otherwise your just putting yourself in a position where people will disgrace your own legacy.”

“As for The Melody Queen Noor Jehan... "gai ge duneya geet mayray"...Forever, Ahmad further added”.

Ali said, in his childhood he preferred to listen more to the likes of western influencers like Nazia Hassan and Alamgir.

Though growing up older, I realized that Noor Jahan is a household name with no match of her calibre, Azmat added.

Ali, also take a jibe on the person who shared specific clip from interview held by Ahmed Pansota.

He said that whoever did this stood with the agenda to spoil my repute.

Ali, further added that he felt disappointed, as this clip stuff hurt Noor Jahan’s daughters: Mina Hassan, Nazia Ejaz Khan and grandson Ahmed Ali Butt.
