Leave it to Ali Zafar to dominate this season of Coke Studio.
The fourth episode from this season was dominated by Sara Haider and Ali Zafar’s duet Ae Dil. Sara Haider was a welcome surprise, since she wasn’t the one providing backup vocals for once. Ali Zafar looked dapper in a two-piece suit as he started off the song with his verse, shrouded in melancholy.
Where Ali left off, Sara Haider was quick to take the song onto the next level with her impassioned voice and catchy chorus. Both looked and sounded amazing together, having the time of their lives. Ali and Sara themselves tweeted the link to their collaboration:-
