Atif Aslam says that Indo-Pak relations may suffer a pause but not an end

Pakistan's music industry has benefitted most by the improving relations between India and Pakistan and local artistes have prolifically been lending their voices to Bollywood productions as well as concerts and music festivals. Some have even gotten on board televised music shows. Atif Aslam is definitely one of the few who have attained massive following in India. Not only has he done the playback for high profile movies like Race and Kismet Konnection but he has also made frequent appearances of Indian programmes. And in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, Atif Aslam says, "I believe things between India and Pakistan will be strained for some time but they will ease out. For some time we will hesitate in going to Mumbai and Indians will perhaps think twice before coming here but that's all. I don't think our working relations with India will be effected in the long run."

Atif added that recordings (for movies etc) would easily be shifted to Dubai studios. As for his own future projects, Atif added that a few new compositions (for his next new album) were in the pipeline but he would not even think of releasing a new album, under the current circumstances.

"I can't even think about writing love songs when the man on the street doesn't even have bread to eat," he told Instep Today.

But on a more optimistic note he concluded that things would get better and especially, that gigs and concerts would start happening soon. Fingers crossed!

Sir Atif would you dare saying I will not perform in India till these mofos are blaming the country, which gave you everything, for its own home grown terrorism. Their foreign minister prime minister whole media agencies police general public everyone talkiing about crap of us and here we are worry about relations. I care less about it India and its industry they can go to help along with those Pakistani artists who r still thinking about their careers, nothing comes before Pakistan. Either they respect Pakistan else they can go *-**-**-**-* off.

He said he won't write love songs , like his previous songs
Not that he won't release an album.

That means it could be a really different album , like his Rabba Sacheya song

I agree with u. Atif doesn't have any dignity, and he is more interested in money than anythink else. The Indians could abuse Pakistan and beat him, but nevertheless he would continue singing in India as long as they give him enough money.

hahahahaha........india banned our pop musicians in their country...hahahahahaha........comedians ko bhi wapis bhaij dia ...hahaha..kal hi dekha
