Atif Aslam Talks About Losing Child

The singing sensation and one of the most celebrated artists of Pakistan, Atif Aslam in a recent interview with AB Talks, reflected on his journey. AB Talks is a YouTube show hosted by Anas Bukhash, in which he interviews celebrities and discusses those aspects of their lives which most of us might not know. He talked about his childhood, relationship with cricket, music, God, and his fans.

Atif shocked his fans with many revelations; one of which was about losing his child. He revealed that his wife had a miscarriage back in 2019 and how it had affected him. It happened when he was in Turkey to perform at one of the biggest and most lavish Indian wedding party. The wedding hosted more than 650 guests who were entertained by the famous singers Akon, Ruskar Prakash, and Rahit Khan along with Atif Aslam.

So, Anas Bukhash asked Atif Aslam about his worst moment in his life and Atif narrated the incident. He started by saying that he mostly doesn’t remember any worst moments because he doesn’t want to, he actually found it difficult to recall his worst moments in life. Then he said that his wife Sara was 4 or 5 months pregnant and at that time he had to attend a show in Turkey. Right before his performance, his wife called and told him that their baby has no heartbeat. Atif told Sara to go to the doctor and ask about what’s happening, and she said that she already went to the doctor.

After sometime he was on stage and he performed for two and a half hours. He told that right in front of him was a huge crowd of people waiting to be entertained. Most of them were drinking and were enjoying his performance to the fullest. After performing he came back to his room around 11.30 pm; he was in Antalya at that time. He requested his team to arrange a car for him so that he could visit Konya. He wanted to visit Shams Tabrizi and Rumi’s shrine and spend some time alone there. He told about this to his friend only who insisted to go with him, but Atif decided to go alone on a three and a half hour journey to Konya. During his journey, he kept on thinking about how helpless we humans are!

The shrine had to open at 8 am and Atif reached there at 6.30 am; there was no one there and it was raining. He said that he wasn’t there to question anything that had happened, nor he was in a state to do so. He was just there to realize that humans are powerless and still they involve in everything. On hearing this, Anas agreed that being helpless is really the worst thing that can happen to someone. Atif Aslam further said that his wife is a brave woman because she handled it all very well.

Looking at the lives of the celebrities many of us might think about their fame, wealth, and happiness only. Little do we know that they have their worst moments too, they go through depression too like us and life can be hard on them just like it’s on us. The important thing is how to fight depression and come out of the worst moments in your life.

The firecrackers in his pocket started bursting one by one. I don’t know where I got the courage, but I immediately tore off his shirt and threw it away. It was such a scary incident — my son was in shock, watching me tear his shirt like that”.

Dania Enwer Says Family Backed Her Divorce

In an interview with Ahmad Ali Butt, actor Dania Enwer opened up about how her family played a crucial role in helping her move on from her first marriage. “My family supported me throughout, and I consider myself fortunate—because not everyone has that kind of backing. When you’re surrounded by such support, outside opinions don’t matter,” she said.

Dania described her mother as an empowering figure in her life. She explained that she initially hid her marital issues to protect her parents from worry. “For a long time, I didn’t tell them what I was going through because I wanted to spare them the pain and fix things on my own,” she shared.

She recalled the moment she finally reached out. “When I was ready, I called my mom and told her, ‘Things are not great. I’ve tried my best, but now it’s either the marriage ends, or it ends me.’”

Her mother responded calmly and supportively. “She told me, ‘Everything has a solution. I know you’ve tried. If it’s not working, that’s okay. Other paths exist. Just relax.’ That conversation started the journey toward my separation—with my mother right beside me,” Dania said.

After the divorce, her mother encouraged her to step into the world of acting. Dania credited her family for giving her the freedom to rebuild her life. “They never imposed restrictions or pressured me into remarrying. They motivated me to start again.”

Following her struggles, Dania took a break to heal. She said her two children kept her grounded and inspired her to stay strong. “My son and daughter were both very young, but experiences like these make kids grow up faster than they should,” she reflected.

Though the healing process was tough, Dania faced it head-on. “I dealt with PTSD, but I identified my problems and worked through them. Everyone makes mistakes—it’s how we recover that defines us. For me, closing that chapter was my saving grace.”

Dania is now married to Farhan Baig, son of veteran actor Nadeem Baig.
