The super trio have been captivating the audience seven seas across and are getting a warm reception from the Pakistani diaspora who were taken on a trip to nostalgia with a taste of home, in a foreign land.
“Our concert tonight was attended by thousands of fans who traveled from all across America with some flying in from Los Angeles, Canada and numerous from Connecticut, New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Washington DC,” said Salman Ahmed in conversation with The News International.
“We are extremely grateful to our media, especially Geo TV who publicized the entire tour for us,” he added.
