Whenever I see this couple it's always these songs in background .mBe it their wedding, couple outfitting . Anything anywhere even in random sns post on twitter/ Instagram it's always about how they married and shit and Ranjha playing at background. Like bitch mujhe farak ni padtalife aage bhar chuki hai, you also get over! Always that cringey wedding video moment of how the couldnt be together in movie but the actors are together now. Like you think people are as delutionsal. Can't differentiat between reel and real. People are not even this obsessed with spy universe! Like it's getting so so so old. Out dated. I'm soo over raatein lambiyan. Also why every popular Bollywood song Punjabi. Where is real good hindi music! Mujhe aadhi Punjabi samj mein bhi ni ati! Soo soo fed up. The songs are soo ugly now.
Songs like Mahiya Jinnah Sohna, Ranjha which can be a background song for wedding video and cards? I cant explain what sort of music I am looking for but these two songs fit perfectly what I am looking for. Any similar song recommendations?
