Pakistani singer Atif Aslam is easily one of the greatest artists of his generation and he is credited with offering his voice to some of the best and soulful Bollywood songs like Dil Diyan Gallan, Tere Sang Yaara, and Tu Jaane Na, among others. He is celebrating 20 glorious years of being in the music industry in 2023. To celebrate, the 40-year-old is currently on tour in North America, which began in September 2023 and will continue till November 2023.
Amid all the excitement, a new video of him has been going viral from one of his shows, which has received a rather contrasting reaction from the fans. The show received mixed reactions from the netizens.
During one of his performances during his tour in the USA, a fan threw money on the stage while he was performing. Instead of getting angry or ignoring the incident, Atif decided to use it as a moment to teach his fans an important lesson.
Atif stopped singing mid-way and asked the fan to come on stage and collect the money from the dias and instead donate it to some good cause. He also told the concertgoer that he was a rich person and requested him to use the money for some greater cause than showering it on him.

The singer’s noble gesture has divided the online communities and sparked a discussion on the internet. While some people hailed Atif’s antics, others claim that he disrespected the person and pointed out a similar incident where the Indian singer, Arijit Singh had urged his fans to not throw money at him.
However, the only difference was that Arijit had collected the money himself and gave it back to the person, whereas Atif asked the fans to collect the money by themself.
Well, it seems there’s no pleasing the online community.
