Atif Aslam's work front
Atif was supposed to make his comeback in Bollywood after almost eight years with the film LSO90's (Love Story of 90's). However, it is not possible now due to a renewed ban on Pakistani artists in India after the Pahalgam terror attack.
He has previously sung hit Bollywood songs like Tera Hone Laga Hoon, Tere Bin, Piya O Re Piya, Be Intehaan, Jeena Jeena, Dil Diyan Gallan, Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein among many others.
