Singer-songwriter Atif Aslam’s recent show in Lucknow may have been cancelled due to lack of permission from the city’s administration
Singer-songwriter Atif Aslam’s recent show in Lucknow may have been cancelled due to lack of permission from the city’s administration but when it comes to fan following, make no mistake, Atif’s star is on the rise and growing at an unprecedented rate.
Unlike several of his contemporaries, who make news because of their visibility across the social spectrum almost as much for their work, Aslam tends to keep himself busy with international tours and stays away from the party circuit, opting to show up every now and then. And though, Aslam is not as active on social media as his contemporary superstars Ali Zafar, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Shaan Shahid, his dedicated fans continue to give him huge numbers by following across different social media platforms.
Aslam’s growing popularity can be gauged from the fact that he has over 18 million fans on Facebook, over 400,000 followers on Twitter and has now hit the 1 million mark on photo-sharing site Instagram.
As for the nature of the posts, they are a combination of Atif on stage, some selfies and a few images with his family. In other words, following him does not mean that your timeline will be flooded with dozens of pictures overnight. So while we wait for Atif to release more music in the coming days, weeks and months ahead, you can keep up with the pop giant on social media and get a glimpse into his life.
