A heartwarming moment from the Sindh Governor’s House Independence Day concert has gone viral, showing singer Atif Aslam pausing his performance to help a young fan.
The clip, recorded during his rendition of “Tu Jaane Na”, shows a boy, about five or six years old, approaching the stage for a selfie. When the child’s phone wouldn’t turn on, Atif knelt to his level, smiled, and said, “Nahin khul raha, ab kya karein?” before handing it to the boy’s mother to unlock.

The concert, part of the Maarka-i-Haq Independence Day celebrations, drew thousands to the Governor’s House lawns. Despite a three-hour wait and a lengthy address by Governor Kamran Tessori, excitement remained high. Host Faizan Haq kept the crowd engaged until Atif took the stage, opening with “Wo Lamhey” and moving through hits like “Tu Chahiye”, “Tera Honay Laga Hoon”, “Dil Diyan Gallan”, and “Jal Pari”.

At one point, Atif paused the show when crowding near the front caused discomfort, resuming only after organisers addressed the situation. The night also featured performances by Kaifi Khalil and Ali Zafar, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The viral video has since become a symbol of Atif’s warm connection with his fans, with many calling it one of the cutest moments of the Independence Day celebrations.
