Do you know?
Dear Zayn Malik fans from Pakistan, don't lose hope
While nothing I write can do anything to curtail your sadness, it's best you don't lose hope, Pakistan. Maybe Zayn Malik's love for Pakistan would spark and he opts for a detour. Meanwhile, you guys always have Coke Studio to fall back on.
