Actor looks back on the song that became his first OST as a singer, composer and lyricist
Actor and singer Aagha Ali is marking 11 years of Akhiyaan Num Num, one of the songs that holds a special place in his career.
Ali shared the song’s music video on Instagram, looking back on the track and the significance it continues to hold for him.
The song was the original OST for the 2015 drama Khuda Dekh Raha Hai, in which Ali starred opposite Sajal Aly. He also sang, composed and wrote the song.
“11 years of Akhiyaan Num Num Wow!! Time flies... you guys still give so much love to this song!!! This was and will always be super special for many reasons. The first ever OST that I sang, composed and wrote and worked with so many immensely talented people,” Ali wrote in the caption.
He added, “The very beginning of my career and the beginnings are always special I guess. Thank you for the love guys... I shall see you at the screens... soon!”

Fans responded with nostalgia, praising both the song and Ali’s vocals.
One fan recalled how frequently they had listened to the track, while another said his voice still had “the same magic” after 11 years.
Another fan wrote, “Pakistan deserves songs and music like this masterpiece.”
Akhiyaan Num Num came at an important stage in Ali’s career, as he was establishing himself as both an actor and a singer.
Before the OST, he had released Mera Pehla Rock Song and performed covers including Khwab Adhoore Sahi and Aaj Bhi.
He later continued to combine acting and music, notably composing, writing and singing Duhaiyaan with Aima Baig for the 2018 drama Mere Bewafa.

More recently, Ali released his new song Keh de Jaana a few weeks ago.
On television, his career has included dramas such as Mein Hari Piya, Rukhsaar, Mere Meherbaan, Mehram and Digest Writer.

From his early days in television to his work as a singer, songwriter and composer, Ali has continued to move between acting and music. For fans, the anniversary of Akhiyaan Num Num offers a reminder of one of the early musical milestones in that journey.
