Films are one of the greatest sources of entertainment. But a major aspect that sets Indian cinema apart from the rest is the music. Not only do the songs evoke emotions but also add more depth to any scene or moment in a movie. And when it comes to music, singer Alka Yagnik is one of the best in the business with an unmatched record not only in India but also Pakistan. She has always been a top choice, not just for filmmakers but also audiences. Well, reports suggest that the late Osama bin Laden, world’s most dreaded terrorist and former leader of al Qaeda, was also in the list of her many fans.

The video clip of her reaction has now resurfaced on the internet. The video begins with Alka asking, “Is that my fault?” She goes on to state, “Osama bin Laden jo bhi hai, jaisa bhi hai, uske andar ek chhota sa kalakaar hoga kahi. Pasand hai toh fir accha hai naa?”
