Here's one thing Indians and Pakistanis are rooting for equally: Taher Shah as a mermaid

Written by : TNM Staff

For those who doubted Taher Shah's angel status, here's proof that the man is indeed special. Yesterday, people from India and Pakistan were equally delighted over the news that Taher Shah, the Pakistani singer and music producer was going to appear in his next musical video as a mermaid. It was rumored that the song would be released on Christmas Day.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd have seen Shah's "Angel' song which was released in April 2016. Shah featured in the video replete with wings and a purple costume that enthralled the Internet and spawned troll memes by the dozen.

However, it turns out that the news was fake and Shah will not be coming as a mermaid anytime soon. Hearts broke across borders but the Internet still had its say.
