Actress Javeria Saud has revealed that she penned the popular original soundtrack (OST) “Tera Mera Hai Pyar Amar” for the hit drama Ishq Murshid, but claims she was never credited for her contribution.
The actress made this disclosure during an appearance on a morning show on a private news channel, surprising many fans and industry insiders.
When asked why she wasn’t acknowledged for writing the song, which has become a hallmark of the globally popular drama, Saud responded with a laugh, saying, “I don’t know.” Despite the oversight, she remained composed, describing the lack of credit as a minor issue compared to other betrayals she has faced in her career.
Support from industry peers and reflection on challenges
During the interview, fellow guest Asma Abbas expressed her support, vowing to ensure Saud’s contribution was recognised. “From now on, I’ll make sure everyone knows you [Javeria] wrote that song,” Abbas said.
