Ananya Panday Calls Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib’s ‘Alfaaz’ Her ‘Favourite Song in the World’

Bollywood actor Ananya Panday has called Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib’s ‘Alfaaz’ her “favourite song in the world”, adding a celebrity endorsement to the track’s growing international popularity.

The song has been attracting listeners worldwide and finding fans among Bollywood celebrities. It is also increasingly being chosen as background music for social media updates and celebrity moments, extending its presence beyond people listening to the track on its own.

Panday’s praise puts her among the song’s celebrity admirers. It could not be independently confirmed when or where she made the remarks.

Released in July, the romantic collaboration brought Pakistani singers Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib together on a track noted for its emotional sound. The song also received recognition on Genius.

Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib were also working with international DJ and music producer Alan Walker on a remake of ‘Alfaaz’, according to media reports dated 5 November 2026. Walker had arrived in Pakistan and shared glimpses of his meeting with the musicians, including a photograph alongside them and other team members. Known internationally for electronic tracks including ‘Faded’ and ‘Alone’, Walker brought his established global following to a collaboration connecting his electronic music work with Pakistani artists.

‘Alfaaz 2.0’, featuring the Norwegian-British producer, was scheduled for release on November 12, according to media reports dated 8 November 2026. Walker was in Lahore making music with Malik and Zohaib, the performers of the original song. His trip followed his discovery of a masked figure in a local music video whose clothing resembled his signature appearance. That sight drew his attention and prompted the visit, with the planned new version following the original track’s viral success.
