Songs are the only way to make people accept strong messages: Bilal Saeed

Bilal Saeed recently released a song ‘The Umbrella’ in collaboration with rapper Fateh Singh. The music video of the song addresses the issue of body shaming.

Pakistani singer Bilal Saeed’s new song The Umbrella in collaboration with rapper Fateh Singh addresses the sensitive issue of body shaming. The reason the singer touched upon this topic was because he strongly believes that “beauty is subjective”.

Bilal Saeed is a well-known Pakistani singer and has given several hits including Baari

“Hume aisa lagta hai jo humare jaisa nahin hai, ya jo hume samajh nahin aa raha, woh hona hi nahin chahiye. I don’t like that. I have always believed that beauty is a subjective matter. And songs are the only way to make people accept strong messages like body shaming and body positivity. It is essential to make people comfortable in their own skin. They should believe that they can be whoever they want to be and live however they want to. It’s their choice,” he explains.

Ask him if he has ever been subjected to body shaming himself, and the Baari singer says, “There have been no such incidents, thankfully. But I wanted to highlight this issue because with the advent of social media, people do not think before trolling. I wanted to make an impact with my song.”
