2010-08-03T23:15:00.000-07:00

Atif Aslam in Dhaka, BangladeshAtif Aslam came to Dhaka on 30th July to perform at a concert and on his 4th visit to Bangladesh, Atif in an interview with the local newspaper of Dhaka shared his love for the ‘City of Mosques’, Dhaka, his views on the music reality shows and responded to the criticism he gets.

On Asking about the city and how well the audience here at Dhaka receives him, he said,

“The people here are very nice to me. They seem to have something to say me all the time which is either related to me or my music.”

He also added that Dhaka is one of his favorite cities. He said,

“To be very honest with you, Dhaka is one of my favorite cities. The city is amazing and it relaxes me to a great extent. Apart from the horrible traffic jams of Dhaka, the city is great to explore for the enthusiastic. The women in saree look awesome here. They look gorgeous, gracious and lovely.”

On asking about his take on music reality shows, Atif Aslam said that music reality shows are not reality shows, and rather they can be called as scripted shows. He said,

“I’m sorry to say, they are not reality shows, and rather they can be called as scripted shows. I took part in one of one such show as a guest judge where I was asked by the director of that particular show to hug someone, whom I did not want to hug. He went on to ask me to praise someone whom I did not want to praise. So I can’t cheat my fans by participating on such shows which are not real. Moreover I consider myself too small to judge someone. But on a lighter note, I would like to go on reality shows to meet the celebrities who can have the time to criticize me on a fine day!”

He also responded to the recent criticism he got from the singing diva of bollywood Sunidhi Chouhan, who said that Atif Aslam can’t sing. Atif commented,

“I’m glad that a senior singer like Sunidhi Chouhan had said something about me. Frankly speaking, I do not care what they have to say about me. I just focus on my work and concentrate solely on my music.”

Q: ‘He came, he saw and he conquered’ – that’s what can be said describing your success in the Pakistani and Indian music industry. From your point of view, how has the journey been so far?

Atif Aslam: Well, I started singing at the age of 16, but never thought about music as a profession. I always wanted to be a cricketer. But my father for some reason didn’t agree to it, but fortunately whatever happened, it was for the best. I was a part of the band ‘Jal’ and later I had to go solo because of some internal disputes. My solo albums were huge hits both in Pakistan and India. I wanted to explore myself in every single dimension of music. Throughout my journey, some people from the music fraternity criticized me. I’m facing this criticism till date. But I am quite used to it now. On a positive note, I am happy that my fans are always showering their blessings on me. I have received numerous awards at home and abroad in recognization to my hard work. I’ve also shared stage with some of the renowned musicians of the world from time to time. I’ve performed at the Heineken Music Hall where legends like Michael Jacksom performed. All in all, so far the journey has been very good and pleasing.

Q: Criticism has been a part and parcel throughout your musical career. Recently singing diva of bollywood Sunidhi Chouhan said that Atif Aslam can’t sing. How does it feel to receive such harsh criticism despite your overwhelming success?

Atif Aslam: I’m glad that a senior singer like Sunidhi Chouhan had said something about me. Frankly speaking, I do not care what they have to say about me. I just focus on my works and concentrate solely on my music.

Q: Would you please tell us something about your upcoming projects?

Atif Aslam: Currently I am busy with my new project with Guns N’ Roses. The reason for doing a project with them is not only limited to music only. My country Pakistan is known as a terrorist country. I want to change this perception and I hope the message which this project would transmit will fetch a good impact across the world.

Q: You have massive fan following both in India and across the world. How does it feel?

Atif Aslam: I feel amazing to perform and satisfy my fans the way you guys feel while interviewing someone. I love my fans no matter whether they are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or anywhere from the world.

Q: Please tell us something about the Dhaka crowd. Do you enjoy your stay here?

Atif Aslam: To be very honest with you, Dhaka is one of my favorite cities. The city is amazing and it relaxes me to a great extent. Apart from the horrible traffic jams of Dhaka, the city is great to explore for the enthusiastic. The women in saree look awesome here. They look gorgeous, gracious and lovely. The people here are very nice to me. They seem to have something to say me all the time which is either related to me or my music.

Q: Your female fans outnumber your male fans. They are just crazy about you. What’s your take on that?

Atif Aslam: Oh really? You people are always saying like this but do not really provide me any information to reach them! On a serious note, I will be glad if they go crazy about my work, instead of me.

Q: Your fans want to interact with you. So would you please tell them the procedure to reach you?

Atif Aslam: For all of my fans across the world, my website is http://www.aadeez.com. They can send me mail and discuss with me about my concerts, my albums and anything and everything related to me. I personally maintain this website which is dedicated to my fans only.

Q: What’s your take on the musical reality shows?

Atif Aslam: I’m sorry to say, they are not reality shows, and rather they can be called as scripted shows. I took part in one of one such show as a guest judge where I was asked by the director of that particular show to hug someone, whom I did not want to hug. He went on to ask me to praise someone whom I did not want to praise. So I can’t cheat my fans by participating on such shows which are not real. Moreover I consider myself too small to judge someone. But on a lighter note, I would like to go on reality shows to meet the celebrities who can have the time to criticize me on a fine day!

Q: Is there anything you want to say to your fans here in Bangladesh?

Atif Aslam: This is my fourth visit here. I hope to perform here as long as the people here would love me. I hope to come back here over and over again. This time, the organizer Signal Events deserves all the praise for arranging the concert, hopefully next time I will be performing on an open air concert rather than an indoor one.

As the album starts off with the sensational track Doorie, one begins to expect the best from the rest of the album. It is the cover track of the album, a great love song with a bit of a tragedy to it, is well suited as the very first track of the album.

Also, it greatly portrays Atif's singing abilities and the tune is catchy and easily memorable. Next in the album is the good old Ehsaas from the previous album, and in case you haven't heard it before, is an acoustic kind of a track with a country touch to it. We didn't hate it it the previous album, nor do we hate it here. Moving on, we find Ham Kis Galli Ja Rahe Hain with a rock touch to it. Perhaps Atif's greatest vocal strengths lie in this song, as he is high pitched throughout, which is definitely his strength. Certainly one of the strongest tracks of the album.

Atif Aslam has Bollywood offers

2009-11-08T22:48:00.000-08:00

Pakistani singer Atif Aslam, who crooned his way into the hearts of Indians with Bollywood songs, has revealed he has acting offers from the industry and is open to them. "Artists don't belong to any nation," he says.

"I would like to act in a Bollywood film. It's not my forte, but I want to give it a try," Aslam told IANS on telephone from Lahore. He is appreciated not just for his singing abilities but also for his suave looks and style statement.

"I have various offers from Bollywood but nothing has been finalised. I am reading scripts at the moment. Once something is finalised, I will make an official announcement," he added.

Aslam gained popularity in Pakistan with his band "Jal". He made his presence felt in India with the song "Aadat" in the film "Kalyug". He became a name to reckon with, delivering hit songs like "Woh lamhe" from the film "Woh Lamhe", "Pehli nazar mein" from "Race" and "Bakhuda" from "Kismat Konnection".

"Music is an art form that has no boundaries. Artists don't belong to a nation; they should be free to work wherever they want to," he said.

However, the singer has kept his Indian assignments limited. When asked for the reason, the 26-year-old said he believes in quality rather than quantity.

"I have always focussed on quality work and not quantity. I am not singing just for money and fame. I am singing for myself because I like it. Thus, selecting a few but nice songs was a conscious effort. The lyrics of a song are very important to me," he said.

Atif Aslam also revealed he had never planned to sing in Indian films, but it just happened.

"Bollywood just happened to me. I had not planned it this way. I was quite successful in Pakistan; so I started getting offers from the Hindi film industry too. I like singing in Indian films because you get a lot of exposure here. You get to learn many things," he said.

The singer has sung two songs - "Tera hone laga hoon" and "Tu Jaana na" - in the romantic comedy "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani".

Talking about the success of "Tera hone laga hoon", which has been picturised on Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor, Aslam said: "While singing the song, I never thought that the song would become such a big hit. It's all because of the blessing of god that most songs I sing become hits."

"I didn't make any changes to my singing or any other efforts to sing this song. Just that I thought about my first love while crooning this number. It gave me the same kick," he added.

One day he was singing to his guy friends at the college canteen. His friends urged him to participate in the singing competition on Independence Day celebrations at PAF College Lahore and Sargodha in 1998. He performed there and won the competition. He blew everyone away.

His hobby of singing continued with him entering the singing competition of his college. There were a total of 3 participants. The media team entered Atif's name in the competition at the eleventh hour. He won the competition by singing the hit number Duur of Strings. He kept on winning these competitions every semester until he announced that he will no longer participate in them so that someone else can also win the competition.

He met Goher, a "guitarist" and his future Jal bandmate, at his college. Together they practiced and started doing mini concerts for their friends whether they wanted to hear them play or not. Atif used to perform Junoon and Strings songs at these concerts. They started performing in their college, McDonalds, Uncle Bubba's Rabba Dabba and other restaurants.

JaL recorded the song Aadat at Mekal Hassan's Studio. Atif and Goher formed the band Jal, which means water. The song became popular on different musical websites in Pakistan. The song was also being on aired on major Radio channels of Pakistan like City FM 89, FM 100, Mast FM 103, FM 105 etc. The video for this song was released on Ary The Music and then it was played on almost all the channels.

Atif released his first album Jal Pari on 18th July 2004 by Sound Master and IC records. It was declared to be the best selling album of the year within just 5 months of the release.[citation needed]. It doesn't matter that it was the people who were promoting the album who said that.

At the age of 9, he moved to Islamabad where he studied at Saint Paul's School. Atif came back to Lahore in 1995 where he continued his studies in Divisional Public School (DPS), Model Town, Lahore. He was selected in his school cricket team as a bowler.
