Ali Sethi’s chart-topping track Pasoori has captivated audiences worldwide, but his mother, Jugnu Mohsin, remains unimpressed. In a recent interview, Jugnu admitted that she doesn’t share the global enthusiasm for the Coke Studio 14 blockbuster, favoring her son's traditional Punjabi songs instead.

In a widely shared clip, Jugnu openly expressed her dislike for the song, which has amassed over 835 million views on YouTube since its release in February 2022. "I don’t like Pasoori," she said, recalling a conversation with Ali. "When the song got a billion hits, he came to me and said, ‘Ammi, you don’t like this song.’"

However, Jugnu acknowledged her influence on Ali’s musical passion. Reflecting on his upbringing, she recalled listening to classical raags and Punjabi folk music during her pregnancy. "We spoke pure Punjabi with our kids, which is why Ali sings brilliantly in Punjabi—songs like Umran Langiyan Pabhan Par," she explained.

While expressing pride in Ali’s talent and success, Jugnu reaffirmed her preference for his classical and traditional music. "I told him, ‘Yes, I don’t like this song. I prefer Punjabi folk songs and ghazals, like Gulon Mein Rang Bharein," she added with a smile.

Co-written by Sethi and Fazal Abbas and performed by Sethi alongside Shae Gill, Pasoori became a cultural phenomenon and the most-searched song on Google globally in 2022. Its vibrant music video, celebrating dance and culture, has further amplified its widespread appeal.
