We’ve all heard Pasoori, the viral song that’s been making the rounds on the internet. Pakistani artist Shae Gill collaborated with Ali Sethi on this song, which has gained a lot of attention and received a lot of social media reactions. It is performed by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill from Season 14 of Coke Studio, featuring music by Xulfi and lyrics penned by Ali Sethi and Fazal Abbas.
Pasoori is a Punjabi term that can refer to any problem or disagreement. The song has a captivating melody as well as original lyrics and beats, which helped it establish quick success among music lovers. On the Coke Studio YouTube channel, you may see the song video.

Shae, like her song, is also making news, but for very different reasons. And the matter goes out of hand to some extent when Shae had to clarify her religious identity on social media.
Shae Gill expressed her condolences for Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala
It’s all started when Shae Gill expressed condolences for Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s death a few days earlier, stating,
“Heartbroken. May his soul rest in peace and may his family and friends have the strength to bear this loss.”
Moose Wala was assassinated by armed gunmen in Punjab on Tuesday, allegedly as part of a gang feud, and was cremated in his ancestral village.

But because of some ideological reasons of some people, she was chastised for doing this
As by doing this, she condoling the loss of a ‘non-Muslim.’
She has now retaliated against internet bullies by posting their screenshots on the Instagram story with a message
Shae wrote in her Instagram story,

“I’ve been getting a lot of such messages. Just wanted to inform everyone that I am not a Muslim. I am a Christian and belong to a Christian family and can make prayers for people from different religions.”
She again added a new screenshot to her above-mentioned story, which said that she had to follow everything which any Pakistani does as Pakistan is a Muslim country, with a caption, saying, that she read every direct message to keep up with her fans and added,
“If you send me messages like this, you are getting blocked.”
Since then, many people from both Pakistan and India voiced their opinions in supporting her on various social media platforms. Lots of people went on Twitter to say that what she did was very amazing while many people clarified that what the troll said is totally wrong and misleading.
Furthermore, Gill expressed her displeasure with others policing her. On Instagram, the Lahore-based singer wrote,

“I honestly wouldn’t have announced it like that but I just got sick of people believing that they could police me by that standard.”
Shae Gill’s Pasoori may fill the border gaps between the countries but sometimes his own country’s people are unable to understand her. While many people from India think that it is natural in Pakistan because we have seen so many incidents like this, it is also the fact that many also went on to support her, just like we did in India.
Since Shae Gill has announced that She is Christian , She will be getting unnecessary hate and criticism from now on, that’s how Pakistan is.
