He then went on to say, “Our own society and culture did not provide something comparable. If you put on a show, Noor Jehan would wear a saree, big jewellery, and over-the-top makeup.
We used to be irritated by maids (elderly woman). We could wonder why they are forcing us to watch this kofta (meatball).”

If this guy understood generation gaps he’d realise he is to us what Noor Jahan was to him in his ‘jawani’. Minus the enduring musical legacy. https://t.co/h4qsuMfFqC

“Noor Jahan is an icon!” said one more user. “Shocked to hear his disrespectful views.”
What’s the outrage? I am a huge Noor Jehan fan but why should I expect anyone to conform to my views? People should be allowed to have as outrageous views on her or anyone as possible. Or for that matter anyone. https://t.co/57G3shzKSG

Another, on the other hand, backed Azmat. “What’s the big deal? I adore Noor Jehan, but why should I expect others to share my beliefs? People should be free to express their most outrageous opinions on her or anyone else. Or anyone else, for that matter.”
