said Abdullah.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I grew up listening to them. I feel like if it&#8217;s anyone&#8217;s fault, it&#8217;s the production house &#8211; named Aardman Animations &#8211; that made the video, unless it was Coldplay&#8217;s own idea. But I really think we can&#8217;t blame Coldplay, the band for it because I&#8217;ve heard their music, I&#8217;ve done a lot of research on them, I&#8217;ve seen a lot of documentaries about them, I&#8217;ve attended their concerts. I know Coldplay, they&#8217;re very honest people. You can tell [a lot] about a musician when you listen to their music so I know they&#8217;re very honest human beings. Deep down inside, I feel honoured because I&#8217;m a huge, huge fan&#8230; So even if they did it on purpose, I&#8217;m honoured that they got inspired by my work.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While the young Pakistani singer \u00a0has a very positive outlook on the whole issue, if this is true, then credit should be given where it&#8217;s due.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-244544 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-561x374.jpg 561w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-1122x749.jpg 1122w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-728x486.jpg 728w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-608x406.jpg 608w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-758x506.jpg 758w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-1152x769.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-72x48.jpg 72w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Abdullah_Qureshi-144x96.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So far Coldplay has not yet commented on the matter.
