MUMBAI: Taking the legacy of the renowned Wadali Brothers, Bollywood singer Lakhwinder Wadali is all set to treat his audience with a heart-melting song, Benaqab.
Featuring Rehmat Rattan, music score by Aar Bee, lyrics penned by M.S. Abid, the song, Benaqab talks about how scars are beautiful and surpasses the pre-conceived definition of “beauty” as per society’s standards. Set in the backdrop of Kashmir’s scenic landscapes and its tranquility, Benaqab weaves the definition of true love through its lyrics. The male protagonist is deeply in love with a girl and the scar from the acid attack made on her in the past, fails to shake his love for her.
