Internet reacts to Atif Aslam’s viral video
Several netizens hailed Atif for handling the situation well. One user wrote, “Men have personal space too. Being a fan doesn't mean you can violate their personal space.” The second one said, “Why do fans put celebrities in such an awkward position? It's so cringe and embarrassing. Being a fan doesn't mean you lose your senses.” The third added, “What a gentleman! He seemed a little uncomfortable but handled the situation calmly.”
This is not the first time that Atif had an unusual fan encounter. During a concert in the US recently, Atif came across a fan who threw currency bills at him. A video recorded by an audience member captured the moment when he signaled the musicians to halt and addressed the fan directly while inviting him onstage. He said, “Come, please come. I know you are very rich and I appreciate that. Please donate the money. I like the idea, but this is just disrespect to the money. Don't throw it at me.”
Before being banned in India, Atif had quite a successful career in Bollywood with hit tracks like Tera Hone Laga Hoon and Tere Sang Yaara among others.
