The Member of Parliament recently shared a video of himself crooning one of the most popular Kishore Kumar, ‘Ek Ajnabee Haseena Se’. He sang the song at a cultural event organised in Srinagar. Sharing the video he wrote, “After the cultural programme by Doordarshan Srinagar for the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology, I was persuaded to sing for the Members. Unrehearsed and amateur but do enjoy!”

Soon, netizens called out Akhtar for his remarks in the comment section. A user wrote, “Most probably the first thing you said and I did not like. Even though I know it is a joke,” while another commented, “Looks like Mr. Shashi didn’t support Mr. Akhtar in some matter.”
Meanwhile, there were others who also supported Javed’s comment and called it funny banter between the two.
