Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali dislikes Bollywood item numbers like Sheila, Munni and Chhammak Chhallo, but is effusive in his praise for Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit. Replying to questions in Rajat Sharma's Aap Ki Adalat show on India TV, Ghulam Ali said, "I like Madhuri, because of her fine 'laya' (rhythm) and 'sur' (tune). Mashallah, she is a versatile actress." In praise of Madhuri, Ghulam Ali sang the ghazal: "Aiy husne beparwah tujhe shabnam khoon, sholaa kahoon, Phoolon me bhi shokhi to hai, kisko magar tujhsa kahoon."
