Bollywood’s acclaimed singer Atif Aslam, who has lent his voice to many songs like Tera Hone Laga Hoon, Pehli Nazar Mein, Dil Diyan Gallan and many more, landed in hot waters after he decided to sing an Indian song at an Independence Day Parade held in New York City.
During the celebrations, the singer ended up letting some of his fans down by choosing to sing one of his hit Indian tracks titled ‘Tera Hone Laga Hoon’ from the 2009 released film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.
A Twitter user who uses the handle @sakhwa wrote, “Zero respect for Atif Aslam”.
Another one said, “Shame on”.

From day one i don’t like atif aslam he is very proudy and he thinks that he is the best, no one is like him etc.

I really feel bad to see indian content as our top trends.
This needs to be stop.— syeda sania naqvi (@sanianaqvi_11) August 7, 2018
Have heard Atif Aslam refused to hold the Pakistan flag! If true it is shameful indeed! Why wld he do such a senseless act? For commercial purposes? Disgusting! And I really liked his work too. But this act has destroyed it all.#AtifAslam#shameful

However, many like vocalists like Shafqat Amanat Ali, who has also lent his voice to some Indian songs, defended Atif. “I stand in support of Atif Aslam for singing his songs at the parade. Music is not Indian or Pakistani. It’s just music. Singers are synonymous with their songs which are loved equally by fans from every country,” Amanat said.
