We all have literally grown up while listening to some wonderful music by Atif Aslam. The perfect lyrics coupled with his awesome voice have earned a massive fan following for the singer. He also enjoyed a massive popularity in India because of fame with Bollywood songs but that all came crashing down a little over a year ago.
Remember when T-Series took down all songs by Pakistanis, including Atif Aslam?
After months of silence even Atif himself opened up about his experience of that moment.
Well, recently T-Series posted the Atif Aslam version of ‘Kinna Sona‘ on their YouTube channel which led to a massive backlash by a faction of the Indian community on Twitter
This song features Siddarth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria. It was initially released in the voice of Jubin Nautiyal and Dhvani Bhanushali in 2019.
Eventually, T-series was forced to take down the Atif Aslam song… again and they were also forced to apologize
According to news reports in Indian media, T-Series was forced to apologize for uploading the Atif song.
This action was primarily based upon the response by Indian nationalists who labeled Atif as a traitor and argued that talent should NOT be ‘imported’ from Pakistan.

The fans argued that Atif has not caused any harm to the Indian state and he surely does not deserve a treatment like this
#istandwithatifaslam I'm not in favour of take down Atif song like seriously Yahi log nepo ki baat kar rahe the? Talent dabane ki baat kar rahe the? Atif nei desh ka kuch nhi bigaada h he's a singer.. And music has no nation.
