Indian singer Arijit Singh garnered widespread acclaim across social media platforms, including from Pakistani fans, after he spoke warmly about fellow musicians Atif Aslam and Shafqat Amanat Ali during a recent concert in Abu Dhabi.
During the performance, Singh rendered Atif’s popular song "Pehli Nazar Mein" from the Bollywood film Race(2008).
Midway through his set, he paused to pose a question to the audience regarding whether Pakistani songs remained banned in India, admitting that he does not closely follow the news but was curious about the situation. “I have a question for you all.
This might be controversial but I do not care, I do not follow the news as much but is playing Pakistani songs still banned in India?” he asked. He expressed frustration at the response, holding his fists up in the air. Singh then took a moment to express his admiration for both singers.
