How Hot Is Atif Aslam?

Pakistani pop singer, Atif Aslam is one of the biggest acts of the moment. You probably heard of him but if you haven’t or if you just can’t get enough of him, here is the scoop on the sensational star. Atif sang popular tracks such as, ‘Addat’, ‘Doorie,’ ‘Pehli Nazar,’ ‘Tere Bin,’ ‘Woh Lamhe’, and many more. Now those tracks probably ring a bell! So the question is how hot of a singer is he really?

Atif Aslam began his musical career with the Pakistani band ‘Jal’, after winning a competition to become the last member in 1998. After a dispute over Atif’s brother becoming the manager of’ Jal’, he left the group to pursue a solo career, sparking a major controversy. It seems his solo album was released just weeks before ‘Jal’s’ new album and he used many of the tracks that were to appear of ‘Jal’s’ album, starting a rights war between the group and Atif Aslam. Since Pakistan’s copyrights laws aren’t very stringent, nothing was done about the war. But like many celebs, the controversy only helped hypes up the release of both Atif Aslam and ‘Jal’s’ albums.

Atif Aslam’s solo debut, ‘Jal Pari’ was released in 2004 and within five months, it was declared the best selling album of the year! He went on to release, ‘Doorie,’ and ‘Meri Kahani’ to similar reception. Then of course who can forget the popular Bollywood tracks he’s done like, ‘Pehli Nazar,’ from ‘Race’ and ‘Bakhuda,’ from ‘Kismat Konnection.’ Atif Aslam even toured the world, including a successful run of the US and UK.

With all that under his belt, it’s natural that fans flock to the cutie crooner. So we want to know if Atif Aslam lives up to the hype. Do you think he’s as hot as everyone claims he is, or not? Does the 25 year old have lasting power or will he fade out eventually into the archives?

NOT TO FORGET – Atif Aslam recently launched a new track, which is a cover of an old song “Meri Hamjoliyan”

Annie Khalid’s Hit ‘Mahiya’ Remixed by Indian Producer

Indian music producer Yashraj Mukhate went viral by remixing Annie Khalid’s iconic 2006 pop hit Mahiya, blending it with a humorous clip of a South Asian man expressing his dislike for relatives.

Known for turning viral dialogues into catchy tunes, Mukhate paired the man’s blunt response with playful lyrics like: “Meri bua ki bhabi ke beti ki shaadi mein kyun jaon, mahiya, ke hoon mein pareshaan, mahiya.” The video quickly gained over 12 million views on Instagram.

Pakistani celebrities including Mawra Hocane and Zoya Nasir praised the remix, and Annie Khalid herself responded with laughter and enthusiasm. Mukhate, calling her “The OG,” celebrated the interaction. Khalid’s Mahiya was a breakthrough hit that defined mid-2000s Pakistani pop and opened doors for women in the industry.

Who is Annie Khalid

Annie Khalid was born to a Kashmiri father and a Yemeni mother in Lahore on 27 March 1987. When she was just six months old, her family moved from Pakistan to the United Kingdom, first settling in East London and later relocating to Essex.

Annie Khalid launched her music career with the single “Mahiya,” which became a massive hit in Pakistan after its 2005 release. Indian filmmakers later featured the song in the film Awarapan.

On 25 November 2010, she released her UK debut single “Be My Baby,” accompanied by a remix from British DJ Judge Jules. After meeting the English–Norwegian boy band A1 at a charity event, Khalid collaborated with them on the single “Just 3 Words” and joined their tour, performing across Norway and the UK. In 2011, the Pakistan Media Awards nominated her for Best Female Singer.

In September 2013, Khalid teamed up with Beenie Man to release the single “Boom Boom Danze.”

Muhammad Ali Shehki Says Romance Is Key to Great Music

In an interview with Imran Ashraf, veteran musician Mohammed Ali Shehki revealed that romance—real or imagined—is central to his musical process, and urged other artists to embrace the same mindset.

He admitted to envisioning a muse while performing, saying, “An artist has to be in love all the time, whether it’s your wife, girlfriend, or someone from your imagination.”

Tapping into that romantic energy, Shehki performed his hit Pyar Kiya Mein Ne Dil Diya, then reflected on his rise to fame in the 1970s. “There was a lot of craze in that era. Now, with so many singers, no one knows who’s who. Back then, it was just a few of us—actually, just two,” he said, referencing himself and Alamgir.

Shehki recounted how makeup artist Lily Raza, who shared his Irani heritage, helped him break into the entertainment industry. Before his big break, he performed in hotels and eventually landed a spot on a show hosted by Tara Ghanshyam. When Ghanshyam fell ill, Shehki was asked to perform their duet solo.

“I thought I’d lost the opportunity,” he recalled. “But Ghazanfar Ali sahab told me, ‘You’ll sing this solo without any complaints.’ So I did, and the song became a superhit.”

Shehki, also known for acting in films like Dekh Tamasha and Choron Ka Badshah, credited that moment as the turning point in his career.
