Jal was one of the most iconic bands in Pakistan. Consisting of megastars like Atif Aslam, Gohar Mumtaz and Farhan Saeed, the band ruled the charts in the early 2000s.
Every 90s kid, or now as the new generation likes to call ‘boomers’, rocked out to tracks like ‘Aadat’. Even the millennials have one or two Jal songs in their guilty-pleasure playlist.
After the departure of Atif Aslam, Farhan Saeed partnered with Gohar Mumtaz and managed to carry the band and still produce excellent music for the die-hard fans.
However, sadly in recent times, Farhan too has parted ways with Jal and the band is pretty much finished.
The former singer/songwriter started appearing in TV dramas and left fans with no explanation as to why he left the iconic band. Fans finally got some answers as Farhan revealed why he decided to part ways with Jal.
What happened?
Appearing as guest on ARY News program Har Lamha Purjosh, he said:
“I worked with Jal band for 10 years which is a long time period. As you evolve with time and age, your preferences, interests and musical taste changes. After leaving the band, I released my own songs which were different from Jal and I came into acting as well. It’s pretty obvious why I left it. I wanted to do certain things which I couldn’t do while I was in the band,” the singer said. He went onto say that being associated with a band required a lot of commitment and he was unable to do anything of on his own.

About the controversy surrounding Pakistan Super League’s fifth edition’s official anthem, Farhan Saeed said,
“PSL’s song is good. I was listening to it in the stadium today and it was well-received by the crowd, they were enjoying it. The official song of the tournament is a bit different but the more people will listen to it, they will start liking it. I am looking forward to the song Ali Zafar is making. After hearing the beat, I think we will have a good anthem,” he said about the new anthem being produced by “Phir Seeti Baje Gi” singer on public demand.
The singer also shared his views about Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan. He said,
“I am proud of voting for Imran Khan. I am hopeful we will re-elect him once he completes his five-year term. If I am proven wrong after five years, I will apologize to the nation myself that I took Khan Sahab’s side,” the Punjab Nahi Jaungi actor added.
Farhan Saeed is currently working in a film right now and fan will get to see him on the big screen in Tich Button next.
