Vasay Chaudhry opposed Shaan Shahid’s opinion to convert late singer Noor Jehan’s house into a museum.
Taking to Twitter, Shaan raised concerns over the late singer’s house being converted into a plaza. “Madam Noor Jahan’s house has become a plaza, sad our legends deserve it,” he said.

Replying to his tweet, Vasay said; “She Sold that house out of her own will, whereas the other house in question is a totally different story.”

Shaan hit back and suggested the government to pay for her house and make it ‘Noor Jehan Museum’. “The govt should have paid for her house and made it a madam Noor Jehan museum,” he wrote.

Vasay disagreed with Shaan and said the government had given all due respect to the departed singer.
“I disagree Sir, the govt commemorated her with Civil awards & other accolades in her lifetime. It was her private property and Buying her house (especially when she was not even in the need for money) doesn’t make sense, given the economic situation of our country,” he highlighted.
