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.

Khaled Anam Laments Decline in Muharram’s Sanctity

Khaled Anam

Veteran actor Khaled Anam openly criticized how people now commemorate the tragedy of Karbala, arguing that Muharram has lost its sanctity and become a commercial event.

Speaking on the Off The School podcast, Anam lamented the shift from tradition, saying, “When finances enter the equation, things take a different direction.” He pointed out that some people who forbid music have no issue adding drum machine beats to naats and nohas. “These are not tunes!” he stressed.

He noted that senior artists no longer guide juniors, and juniors, in turn, reject any mentorship. “They just say they’re earning millions on YouTube and know better,” he added. Anam criticized the current trend of stylized Muharram videos, saying, “This is not a film!”

Recalling the past, he praised the respectful tone of PTV’s Muharram programming, where presenters wore black sherwanis and maintained solemnity. He contrasted that with the current culture: “Karbala and Muharram have become just another event — like Ramazan transmissions — with albums released just for the occasion.”

He criticized record labels for dictating what naats get recorded and condemned the glamourization of mourning. “You can’t blow-dry your hair and wear full makeup to perform a noha with theatrical gestures,” he said, gesturing in frustration.

Summing up his views, Anam declared, “People need to make the occasion meaningful without losing its message. The sanctity has been lost.”

Saqib Sumeer Shares Chilling Encounter with a Jinn

Saqib Sumeer

Pakistani actor Saqib Sumeer shared the most terrifying experience of his life when he encountered a girl allegedly possessed by a jinn.

During a recent TV program, Saqib recalled how his casual friendship with two neighboring girls took a frightening turn. “I was living in a rented house when I became friends with two girls who lived next door. One day, they told me that a jinn would sometimes possess one of them,” he said.

Wanting to help, Saqib told them to call him whenever it happened. When the jinn returned, the girls contacted him. Concerned about gossip, Saqib invited them to his house instead of going to theirs.

As the possession began, Saqib described how the girl’s hair covered her face and she made strange noises. Frightened, he began silently reciting Surah An-Naas — until the jinn looked at him and said, “Stop reciting.” The chilling moment left him trembling.

Despite his fear, Saqib stayed calm and continued supporting the girls through the ordeal. “It was the scariest moment of my life — something I’ll never forget,” he said.
