Indian screenwriter and lyricist Javed Akhtar heard Pakistani singer and actor Moazzam Ali Khan croon out a song on social media. The writer, who is also a poet, liked his voice so much that he expressed his desire, on X (formerly Twitter), for the Pakistani artist to get in touch with him and to sing `a few songs for us.

The latter responded immediately by thanking the `legendary Javed Akhtar Sahab` profusely. This reinforces the fact that the artist community knows no boundaries, even if the visa issuing authorities do. Moazzam A K, best of luck!
