Popular Pakistani singer Atif Aslam has lost his father, Chaudhry Muhammad Aslam, who died after a lengthy illness.
According to family sources, Chaudhry Muhammad Aslam had been battling health issues for quite some time before his death. The singer has often acknowledged his parents’ constant encouragement as a key factor in his success, making this loss especially significant.
The funeral prayers are scheduled to take place today in Valencia Town, Lahore, where relatives, friends, and admirers are expected to gather to offer condolences and pay their respects.
The news emerged only hours after Atif Aslam appeared on stage at the Azadi Concert at Governor House, Karachi, performing some of his most loved songs. The contrast between the public celebration and the private grief has touched many of his fans, who have shared messages of sympathy on social media.
Atif Aslam is one of Pakistan’s most recognised voices, with a career spanning hit albums, film soundtracks, and international performances.
