Atif Aslam Wiki, Age, Songs, Affairs, Wife, Biography & More

Atif Aslam, who has sung popular numbers in Bollywood films, has ‘strongly condemned the ‘violence and tyranny being conducted against the Kashmiris’. The Indian government abrogated the Constitution’s Article 370, which gave special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir and allowed it to have a separate constitution, a state flag, and autonomy over the internal administration.

Atif wrote in his tweet, “Happy to share something very big with all of you. Inshallah, I’ll be leaving soon for the most important journey of my life. Before departing for Hajj, I would like to ask for everyone’s forgiveness, be it fans, family, or friends. Apologies for hurting anyone’s sentiments. kindly keep me in your prayers Also I strongly condemn the violence and tyranny being conducted against the Kashmiris. May Allah bless the lives of the innocent in #Kashmir and all over the world.”

Twitter was quick with the backlash. Several users asked him to stay positive, saying it is the best move for the Valley. One user wrote, “And please don’t fall for any propaganda. A good decision has been taken for a better future for Kashmiris. They are Indians. They are us. They will be protected. Let them cry for losing Kashmir (like land and resources, they don’t care about Kashmiris ) Kashmir has suffered.”

Atif has had some of the most successful hits in India and has worked with several celebs in Bollywood. Right from the chartbusters in his debut film, Zeher, to the more recent Baaghi 2 and Qarib Qarib Single, he has had a successful run in the Indian film industry. After the militant attack in Uri in 2016 that killed several Indian army jawans, Bollywood adopted a blanket ban on Pakistani artists working in the industry.

Pakistani singer Atif Aslam, who has given numerous Bollywood hit numbers, took to his social media to criticize the decision by the Indian government to revoke the special status of Jammu and  Kashmir by scrapping  Article 370. In his latest Twitter post, Atif wrote that he strongly condemns the violence and tyranny being conducted against the Kashmiris, in reference to the Indian government's decision.
The singer took to his Twitter handle and wrote, "Happy to share something very big with all of you. Inshallah, I’ll be leaving soon for the most important journey of my life. Before departing for Hajj, I would like to ask for everyone’s forgiveness, be it fans, family, or friends. Apologies for hurting anyone’s sentiments. kindly keep me in your prayers.”

In an interview with BBC’s Haroon Rashid a while back, Atif acknowledged the same and said, “I loved that journey because it has taught me how to be more humble, and how to be more creative and patient.” However, not everything was hunky-dory since the singer admitted there were occasions when he had to make changes to his products because the producers had issues with it — “Few songs I had to change the lyrics for. I really felt bad about it. I did not want to do that, but yes, I had to (do it). There is a difference between doing your own work, and doing it for somebody else.”

Further adding that he doesn’t regret anything that he did during his time recording music for the film industry, Atif said, “I don’t look back and regret, that oh my god, I could have sung ‘Chashni’ and all of that…I have worked the most over there (India), and I have enjoyed myself thoroughly. The love that I have gotten from there, I still have. My heart still has it. It can never be bittersweet, because I am a firm believer in the fact that, if something is for me, it will come to me. It was not in my control not to sing for Bollywood movies. It was meant to be like this.”

Later in the interview, the beloved singer opened up about one particular Bollywood association that almost happened between him and superstar shah rukh khan. Apparently, Shah Rukh had claimed that he had approached Aslam to sing “Gerua” for Dilwale, but it never panned out. When asked to elaborate upon it, Atif laughed and said, “I have just come across him once in my life, and he is a wonderful person. But he never said it personally. His team got in touch with us, and we recorded the song, and we sent back the song. I don’t know what happened, his team did not put us through. Something happened which was not conveyed to him. And the next thing I see is him saying ‘Atif Aslam was not available for my song. Maybe he was too busy singing for a Chinese film.’ If Shah Rukh Khan watches this, (I want to say) I was not busy. I would never be busy for you. I would love to sing for you, any day.”

Music label and production house T-Series on Wednesday removed a song by Pakistani singer  Atif Aslam from their YouTube channel after objections from Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). T-Series had on Saturday released Atif's version of Kinna Sona's track from last year's action-drama Marjaavaan on their YouTube channel. The move didn't go down well with MNS Chitrapat Sena president Ameya Khopkar who warned the production house of "major action" if it does not remove the video. 

"We assure you that the song won't release on our platform and we won't promote it either. We are taking down the song and reassuring you that we won't be assisting any Pakistani singers," the letter read. Following the Pulwama terror attack last year, MNS had asked music companies to stop working with Pakistani singers.

Pakistani actors faced a similar ban in 2016 after the Uri terror strike. Filmmaker Karan Johar's film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil faced difficulties in its release for featuring  Fawad Khan. The film was released after the director apologized and promised to never work with Pakistani actors again. Bollywood producers have avoided working with actors from across the border after the controversy.

Composer Vipin Patwa says singer Atif Aslam is a very seasoned artiste and hopes to continue working with him.

After "Sehmi hai Dhadkan", the two have teamed up once again for a song, this time for "Auliya" from Rajshri Productions' movie "Hum Chaar". 

"Atif Aslam is a very seasoned artiste. Atif knows his merits very well so, it is easy for us to work with an artist who is successful and extremely professional as well. He also gives his inputs which are very useful," Patwa said in a statement. He had recorded the song with the Pakistani singer in Dubai."I feel very privileged and honored to work with Atif Aslam who is one of the most successful singers of our time," said the composer. He hopes their association continues. 

"He lives across the border and 'Auliya' means messenger of God. I am talking about all the messengers of God as we love peace and even people living across the border love peace. This song has a lot of peace and positivity so, we hope that our association continues in the future as well," said Patwa.

"Atif said he will do it, but it hasn't been done. I'm not sure why he isn't taking part in the activity, but, as a producer, I see that work promised hasn't been executed," Kumar said in a statement.

Sehmi hai Dhadkan was launched on February 22 as the first song from Sudhir Mishra's film Daas Dev, a contemporary take on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel Devdas.

Earlier this month, politician Babul Supriyo had asked for a ban on Pakistani artists working in the Hindi film industry. He had also objected to the inclusion of Pakistan singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's voice in the film Welcome To New York.

Kumar said: "Normally, such statements are made by fringe groups. When a minister says it, it leaves an impact on more people. But we needed Atif for this song. He has 20 million followers on social media. Imagine the kind of traction we would have got had he promoted it."

Daas Dev stars Richa Chadha, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Rahul Bhat. It is scheduled to hit the screens on March 23.
