Atif Aslam was born on 12 March 1983 in Wazirabad (Gujranwala) city of Punjab province of Pakistan.
Pakistani singer Atif Aslam, while talking about the ban in India, said that people listen to his music through VPN and he misses his fans. He said this in a conversation on the YouTube channel of radio presenter Chris Fed.
In the conversation, Atif Aslam said, “It has been almost 10 years since I was banned in India. It was the decision of the Indian government. They decided to ban Pakistani artists. Indian artists are also banned in Pakistan. For the last 10 years. I have not released any song there.”
Referring to the constant listening of his music by Indian fans, he said that people listen to his music through VPN and make CDs and give them to others. He said that he does not promote piracy, but the music reaches where it has to reach. Same thing happened with my first single.
Atif asked Indian fans not to be sad
For Indian fans, Atif said, “Yes, don’t feel bad about it. Don’t be sad. I always wanted to tell you guys that I miss you guys. I don’t miss working there, but I miss you guys.”
Atif further said that I have learned a lot from playback singing. If it hadn’t been banned, I probably wouldn’t have been able to make my own music. Therefore, I thank you all for this also.
Atif Aslam’s last Bollywood song released in India was ‘Auliya’, which was in the film Hum Chaar.
Why were Pakistani artists banned?
Tension between India and Pakistan increased after the Uri terrorist attack in September 2016. Meanwhile, IMPPA had instructed its producer members not to give work to Pakistani artists and technicians until India-Pakistan relations normalise.
A few days after the Pulwama terror attack in February 2019, the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) also announced a complete ban on Pakistani actors and artistes in the Indian film industry. 40 CRPF soldiers lost their lives in this attack.
Tension increased between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terrorist attack in 2025. After this, the Indian government banned Pakistani films, web series, songs and podcasts.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting ordered the removal of Pakistani content from platforms like OTT and YouTube under the IT Act 2021.
Apart from this, social media accounts of many Pakistani artists were also temporarily blocked in India. These included artists like Mahira Khan and Hania Aamir.
