“I didn’t download your audio file.”Coke Studio producer Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan (Xulfi) has come under fire, with a singer claiming to have created the melody used in ‘Tu Jhoom’ in June 2021. Nirmala Maghani further claimed that she messaged Xulfi, hoping to land a spot in Coke Studio’s season 14. Whilst the producer did not respond to Nirmala’s messages, the singer insists that each message was received by Xulfi. It was not until the release of ‘Tu Jhoom’ that she realised that her melody had been used in Abida Parveen and Naseebo Lal’s song. In a statement, Xulfi said:“As I shared with you earlier, I produce and collaborate in the spirit of inclusivity and my work with Coke Studio holds the same philosophy.
