Ali Zafar Faces Social Media Backlash Over Claim About Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dard-E-Disco’

Pakistani singer and actor Ali Zafar has come under intense scrutiny online following remarks made during an interview with host Omar Malik regarding the popular Bollywood track “Dard-E-Disco.”

In the interview, Zafar claimed that Shah Rukh Khan had once expressed interest in having him lend his voice to the hit song featured in the film Om Shanti Om. According to Zafar, the opportunity did not materialize because he was not present in India during the final stages of the song’s production.

The statement quickly went viral, triggering mixed reactions across social media platforms. Many users responded with skepticism, sharing memes and questioning the authenticity of the claim, while others defended the singer, suggesting his vocal abilities could have suited the track.

Despite the controversy, the interview also shed light on Zafar’s personal challenges in recent years. He spoke candidly about the emotional strain caused by allegations made against him by fellow artist Meesha Shafi, describing the experience as deeply distressing.

Zafar’s comments come after recent legal developments in the case, where a Lahore court ruled in his favor in a defamation lawsuit. He has since described the verdict as a confirmation of his stance.

The discussion has reignited public debate, blending elements of entertainment, celebrity claims, and past legal battles, while keeping Zafar at the center of online attention.
