Hasan Zaidi shares his music playlist

Music has a huge significance in Hasan Zaidi’s life. His love for music comes from his parents. He remembers how during his childhood they would make him listen to Daddy Cool by Boney M.

“My father used to listen to Boney M and I just used to request that song all the time. That is when he used to make me sit on his lap and make me drive a little bit when we were driving back home, while the song played in the car,” the actor says.

He continues, “I like all sorts of music now. I listen to hard rock, heavy metal, pop, Bollywood. The Score, Hans Zimmer, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, I love all of them. Then there is Rafi saab, Kishore Kumar saab and Lata Mangeshkar ji, Asha Bhonsle ji, Suraiya Begum… Nushrat Fateh Ali Khan saab and many big Qawwals like The Sabri Brothers, are my favourites too.”

Hasan remembers growing up with Metallica, “I am also fond of Guns and Roses, Bon Jovi. Since I am married to an Austrian, I had the good fortune to go to Mozart’s house and Beethoven’s house. I have been to a museum of music in Vienna. I also listen to Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. I loved tuning into the Pakistan Coke studio.”
