The singer paused the show mid-way and called the fan up to the stage
From drinks, cellphones, and ashes to roses, fans have been throwing objects at artists at concerts lately. Recently, Pakistani singer Atif Aslam became the latest artist subject to unruly fan behaviour that has affected fellow singer Arijit Singh, Canadian rapper Drake, Bebe Rexha, Cardi B and more. An enthusiastic fan showered money on the Pakistani artist as he performed on stage in US. However, the singer's response is winning hearts on the internet.
The singer paused the show mid-way and called the fan up to the stage. Mr Aslam said, "My friend, Donate this money, don't throw it at me, this is just disrespect to the money."
The video was posted on X, formerly Twitter by user Faizi. The caption of the video reads, "My friend, Donate this money, don't throw it at me, this is just disrespect to the money" How calmly he requested and gave a message to the jahil pakistanis who made this thing a culture. What a man he his, one and only undisputed pakistani star whom you should admire."
