It was as the backlash and prevailing situation in India and their attitude towards Pakistanis are the cause of such lineup. Otherwise these singers and actors were so busy in their affairs in India that they hardly pay their own country any relevance.

@Tariq Your statement can only apply to Atif Aslam, and we dont want to see him in Coke studio every year anyway. Stopped being so obsessed with India.

There are dozens of talented and famous singers out there in Pakistan who never got a chance to perform in Coke Studio like Bilal Saeed, Falak Shabir, Imran Khan (Amplifier fame), Mustafa Zahid, Annie Khalid, Shafqat Salamat Ali Khan, Naseebo Lal and many others! Only Hadiqa Kiyani among these singers deserved to perform in this season. Naseebo Lal is such a powerful vocalist, but they never let her to perform a Punjabi song in Coke Studio. She just sung in Coke Studio once and that was a Rajasthani song! Also why don't they invite the legends like the evergreen Musarrat Nazir (who's now in her 80's), Tassawar Khanum or Azra Jehan to perform once in Coke Studio like Farida Khanum did back in Season 8??
