Shehzad Roy, the Pakistani pop icon known for blending music with meaningful messages, has once again captured hearts—but this time with a humorous nod to his longtime fans. In a recent Instagram video, Roy gave his classic hit Tera Mukhra Haseen a clever twist that’s now being celebrated across social media. What started as a simple acoustic jam quickly turned into a nostalgic tribute to the many women who grew up listening to his music—now lovingly referred to as “aunties.”
The Viral Instagram Moment: A Lyric Flip That Hit Home
In the now-viral Instagram post, Shehzad Roy strummed his acoustic guitar and changed a key line from the original hit. The original lyrics, “I’ve seen many girls, pretty ones,” were cheekily altered to “I’ve seen many aunties, pretty ones.” He captioned it humorously:
“Was gonna dedicate this to the girls, but had to improvise instead.”
The internet responded with a mix of laughter, love, and a touch of existential crisis. Fans flooded the comment section with laughing emojis and heartfelt messages. One fan summed it up best:
“We were girls when you started off—now we’re aunties! This version hits different.”
This post also served as an announcement of his upcoming live performance at Celebration Square, Mississauga on June 13—a much-anticipated event for his global fanbase.
Fans Embrace Their Inner ‘Aunty’ With Humor and Pride
While the lyric change made many giggle, it also struck an emotional chord. Some fans embraced the reminder of growing older with grace.
“Okay, Shehzad. If you’re calling me an aunty, I’ll accept it,” one fan quipped, while another wrote, “I was an infant when you started. Now I’m an aunty. You make me feel old—but in the best way!”
Others shared touching stories of seeing him live decades ago and marveling at how little he’s changed.
“I saw him in concert at age six. I’m 31 now and he still looks exactly the same,” a longtime fan shared.
