Unwrapped with Caiyad Phahad

Caiyad Phahad One on one with Atif Aslam the voice of the century

When CP asked Atif Aslam that who was your inspiration so he replied “People” my music is on people and for people.

At what age you started singing professionally asked by CP, he replied “17” I started by singing in college and competitions and that is where I released my first song Aadat over internet and after 3 years of that I did the video

I performed 3 weeks back in West Indies and what surprised me was that there were no Pakistani and even the Indian Crowd were local (born n brought up there) and most of them have no clue about the meaning of lyrics but they were singing my songs, he replied when it was being asked that Which country you like to perform

Atif Aslam elaborated it further that I would like to play free style at a place where people doesn’t know me at all and when i start playing i would like to see how people will react to my music and how much crowd I can attract.

When CP asked that every song you do as playback in Bollywood it’s a super hit its like you put your hand in sand and you make it Gold so how are you managing to do this, he replied “I am blessed and I do it my way” he elaborated further that Live singing and Play back singing is two different things as play back singing required a lot of adjustments and variations but live singing you can do your way and not the way Music Director wants and that is why I love Live Performances and the best part is that each song I do as play back singer I do it my way and Music Director trust me on that.

What is the memorable thing ever happened, Atif replied “in Lahore, Pakistan when I was doing live performance a girl came on stage and hugged me and I don’t know her at all”

CP asked Atif that what is the best thing about live performance, he replied with a smile “instant response of people” and I always love to see people carrying play cards and posters such as “Atif I love you” “Marry Me Atif”

“I will never declare it to media if ever I am supporting any cause as I am doing it for me, people and God” he replied in answer to What cause you would like to get associated with?

“be positive, respect your parents and elders, always smile and look for better things in life” Atif Aslam message to his fanz
