Actor-turned-singer Ahad Raza Mir has responded to critics over Ko Ko Korina remake promising that he will comeback stronger and work twice as hard to gain their confidence after his Coke Studio debut ignited a social media backlash.

Ahad and Momina Mustehsan recreated 60s classic Ko Ko Korina from Waheed Murad’s movie Armaan, which did not impress a whole lot of people. Some people went as far as calling it ‘garbage’. It did rounds in political circles too as Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari criticised Coke Studio’s remake, calling it a ‘massacre’.

Momina Mustehsan responded to Mazari saying that “as our Minister of Human Rights, you (Mazari) should appreciate Coke Studio for allowing us to express ourselves, especially if it was horrendous”. However, the young musician’s tweet made things worse for her as she was subjected to added troll and criticism.

Now, Ahad Raza Mir has broken silence over the issue asking everyone to be ‘kind’. The artist said that criticism with love and kindness was more appropriate and ‘does not hurt much’.

Mir thanked those who lauded his performance and the remake, but promised that he will work twice as hard to win confidence of his critics.
