By Punjabi janta, I didn't mean that Punjabis dun like her, in Australia they loved her and supported her immensely. It is just that may b we coudlnt connect to urban Punjabi tone of the song. And I have noticed sana stans from Canada showing their displeasure for the song, yday.
No. You are the one who mentioned that it seemed Punjabis didn’t like the song. Not me 🤷♀️ And I just repeated what she has always said. That she hasn’t felt the love and support and so I assume she wouldn’t be expecting much either.
Punjabi populations are highest in USA, Canada and UK with the difference in community representation between Canada and UK being marginal. Since the song’s trending #2 in UK, I thought it would be mistaken and far-fetched to assume Punjabis don’t like the song. So, I would hope for Shehnaaz’ sake that Punjabi janta like her song.
As for Punjabis, I have a major issue with parochialism and obsession when it comes to regional language and identity. It’s something I learnt only after knowing Shehnaaz herself and after being on this forum too.
