Haniya and Moitra provided backing vocals while Kirkire gave husky vocal performance that complements Zeb’s beautiful voice. The duo, once again, showed vocal diversity as they sang in Urdu, Hindi, Dari (the Persian court language) whereas Moitra added a touch of Bengali to the song. The song, which is co-composed by Haniya, maintains a certain amount of simplicity as it largely focuses on the melody and lyrics. The episode, which portrays how cross-border collaborations can transcend politics, also has a hilarious tinge with Kirkire disclosing his habit of writing lyrics in the restroom. In the episode, Zeb and Haniya were seen exploring Mumbai and travelling through the city in a bus, in search for inspiration to create music with the Indian composer Moitra and lyricist Kirkire. Appearing in the second episode of the series, the duo collaborated with Bollywood heavyweights like Moitra and Swanand Kirkire to produce “Kya Khayal Hai”. The process was such that each team was given four to five days during which they got together to compose the song. Therefore, Zeb and Haniya’s inclusion seems fitting due to their impact on Pakistani music through which they have encouraged female bands to take up the profession. “The Dewarists” has garnered some of the biggest names from across the globe, such as Grammy award-winning singer Imogen Heap and classical folk band Indian Ocean among others, to collaborate with stalwart Indian musicians Vishal-Shekhar, Mohit Chauhan and Shantanu Moitra.

The show, which is part music documentary and part travelogue, features various artists collaborating to create original music while travelling to different locations across India. Another milestone in their musical journey was the release of their single “Kya Khayal Hai” on the Indian TV show “The Dewarists” dubbed by many as the non-commercial version of “Coke Studio”. I could listen to this song every morning.For folk duo Zebunnisa Bangash and Haniya Aslam (popularly known as Zeb and Haniya), music has always been a journey - from singing at family events as children to jamming through university life, they have come a long way.
