A singer from Umerkot, Nirmala Maghani has been making rounds on social media after she claimed that Coke Studio producer Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan (Xulfi) has copied her melody for the song.
Nirmala Maghani stated that she sent her melody to Xulfi as she wanted to be a part of the upcoming season of Coke Studio. However, Xulfi did not reply at that time.
At first, Magnani was unaware of the plagiarism until the release of ‘Tu Jhoom’, sung by Abida Parveen and Naseebo Lal. It is when she realised that one of the melodies that she had sent to Xulfi was now a Coke Studio hit. Worst still, she had not been given any credit.
According to Maghani, she had been trying to get in touch with Xulfi ever since the song was released. However, Xulfi’s only response was he did not download her audio file, despite the blue ticks.
