Listen to Laila

Published August 21, 2016

Laila who? Well, the Pakistani film actress who doesn’t act much these days, if you know what I mean.

News is that Laila is doing an item song in an upcoming film titled Shor Sharaba. When a journalist asked her about it suggesting that such a contribution to movies was not looked at favourably, she said films in the past too we used to have item songs, except they were shot at parties or festive occasions.

To be honest, she’s not off the mark. Life, after all, is a party. Hai na, Laila!
