Pakistan has a new star rising on the music scene and it’s none other than actor extraordinaire Hania Aamir. Yeah, we’re not kidding, she released her first song ‘Pablo’ on Wednesday and it’s a message to all the haters.

The song, written and composed by the actor herself, starts with a piano tune fitting Aamir’s usual cutesy charm. But then she clears her throat and we dive straight into the song’s Punjabi hip-hop soul.

The actor sings about how people think she’s “fake” because she’s too pretty and how she’s too guarded. For the opps, she sings, “Assi hassde te tussi pichhe sarhde-sarhde. Assi chill ay te roz panga lai re ne. (We’re laughing and you’re back there fuming. We’re chilling and you’re trying to pick a fight.”)

Aamir says she has fans following her everywhere she goes, and that her “Pindi attitude is watched by all of India”.

Then, perhaps taking a cue from rappers everywhere, she says she’s got mansions she keeps empty but her many friends are there to keep her company and all her antics to keep her busy — the same ones everyone’s so mad about.

The actor says she isn’t out here planning her next move — unlike the scheming haters — but is just “vibing to the beat, doing my groove”. She says she doesn’t even give interviews, but she still stays in the news.

She tells the haters, “Son, sit down, breathe a little. We’re all people here, everyone’s gonna answer for what they do. Learn to live within your means.”

The biggest surprise is the outro, which has a special guest. Indian reality TV star Rakhi Sawant takes over the mic for a special message to Aamir, “Hania, my jaan, don’t get tense. Understand? Don’t take any tension. You’re a hoor (maiden of heaven), there’s divine light on your face. They’re jealous of your beauty.”

Sawant calls Aamir a lioness and tells her to face her foes with courage. “Jo darr gaya, samjho marr gaa (The one who gets scared is as good as dead,)” Sawant tells the actor.

Really, ‘Pablo’ just goes to show that Aamir sees all the hate she’s getting and she does not care. Her message to her opponents is clear: Save your breath, you’re wasting it hating on me.
