Komal Rizvi (Urdu: کومل رضوی; born August 3, 1978) is a Pakistani actress, singer, songwriter, and television host.
[1][2] She started her career at age 16 when her talent was spotted by a family friend of her brother Hasan Rizvi, who is a dancer and an entrepreneur and also performed with Komal at various fashion events.
[1][13] Rizvi was a part of Coke Studio's third season where she performed "Daaneh Pe Daanah" with folk singer Akhtar Chanal Zahri.
Originally written and composed by Zahri himself, the song fondly sings the praises of the province Balochistan he hails from.
Presenting an unconventional alliance, this Coke Studio rendition of the popular folk song fused with Sindhi Sufi classic "Lal Meri Path" took both well-loved anthems to a new level in 2011.
[14] Reborn against the backdrop of a modern funk groove, the song became a colorful musical demonstration of diversity with Zahri and Rizvi, two strong yet vastly different personalities, combining their voices in a symbolic celebration of individuality.
Reshma caused a stir across the border when "Lambi Judaai" from the soundtrack of 1983 Bollywood film Hero became a massive hit.
Coke Studio presented the nostalgic melody against a fluid backdrop of rich chordal elements to take on the quality of a ballad from the 1950s.
