Quotes
Shae Gill
Pakistani singer and Pasoori vocalist
“And if it's something you don't like at all then I would say don't listen to it. Instead of sending hate, don't listen to it because not liking something and talking about it in your home is still fine but if you are publicly humiliating and insulting someone then it's not very nice, is it?”
