(Web Desk) - Nick Jonas stunned fans with an unexpected tribute to Pakistani pop star Nazia Hasan before a Jonas Brothers performance in New York.
Jonas, who is 33 years of age, uploaded the video on his Instagram handle as part of the tradition of the “pre show hype song” that the group has been undertaking as part of their JONAS20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour.
The video is captioned as “tonight’s pre show hype song” and features Nick dancing to the tune of “Aap Jaisa Koi” along with his wife, actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and brothers Kevin and Joe Jonas.
Shot just before the band went on stage in the UBS Arena in Belmont Park, New York, the video lasted for approximately 15 seconds.

The video begins with the appearance of the three brothers before the inclusion of Priyanka Chopra, dancing to the hit song which has helped to define pop music in the subcontinent.
The moment was welcome relief from the super high performances of the band when they perform on stage.
One of the things that the fans did not miss is the importance of the song that played in the video. Aap Jaisa Koi, that came in the 1980 film Qurbani, began to be rendered by Nazia Hasan, who is said to be the first pop star of South Asia.
Nazia Hasan’s songs, composed by Biddu, form one of the milestones that gave shape to the pop culture scene in Pakistan and India of the 1970s and 1980s.
The Jonas Brothers’ latest pre-concert video is part of a series that began with another viral clip that featured the group dancing to Shararat. It has been noticeable that the group has been enjoying South Asian music.
