Brother Milad arrived at 1pm and started his interview, they talked about Milad’s inspirations as he grew up, how he came into Naat Khawani and so much more.  After this interview Brother Milad then met those who had come to see him, he took photos with the children and also signed their CD’s. Brother Zubair then took over with the interview where lots of your questions were answered, (what’s the naughtiest thing youv’e ever done?), questions from Facebook, your texts, emails were all answered.  Throughout the interview session Brother Milad also fulfilled your requests live in the studio!

Take a look at all the pictures and videos we captured throughout the day of this very special day. Milad’s album “Wohi Khuda Hai” is available to buy in all good stores.
