Zain Zohaib Interview | Modernising Qawwali | Ranjheya Ve Success | Singing Saiyaara

Sufi duo Zain Zohaib speak exclusively to Haroon Rashid about their musical success, modernising the genre of Qawwali for younger audiences and remaining authentic to their style despite changing times. Zain Zohaib discuss their rise to fame with Haiderium, the huge popularity of Ranjheya Ve, working with Quratulain Balouch on Thagyan and adapting to new genres with tracks like Shayar. Haroon asks Zain Zohaib about their learnings from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, how they retain purity in their music in a world of materialism and requests the brothers to put their Qawwali spin on the chart topping Bollywood hit Saiyaara.
