Renowned Pakistani singer Atif Aslam has expressed deep appreciation for his Indian audience, stating that he continues to miss his supporters in India despite existing cultural and political barriers. In a recent interview, the artist reflected on his career in Bollywood and addressed the ongoing ban on Pakistani artists working in the Indian film industry.

Addressing his followers during the interview with Samaa TV, Aslam urged fans not to be disheartened by the professional restrictions currently in place. He emphasized that while he does not necessarily miss the act of working within the Indian industry, he deeply values the personal and emotional connection he established with the listeners there. He thanked his Indian fanbase for their unwavering support and love throughout his career.

Aslam also provided insights into his upcoming venture, titled “Borderless Music.” He described the project as a collaborative initiative aimed at bridging gaps between artists, music directors, lyricists, and industry legends across generations.
