The crowd was already going crazy. The collective voice for his name made a song in the air! There were cheers and screams in his name and it was getting tense by the minute. And finally the wait was over; he was in sight! The voice behind the soulful heart rendering numbers was on stage in style. Pakistani singer Atif Aslam was on stage! Hungami Halaat resounded around the venue and kicked off the musical soiree of November 30 at Dasharath Stadium. His outstanding voice took over the crowd until the next one-and-half-hours of Atif Aslam Live in Nepal. In style, he impressed and mesmerised the crowd. Songs like Doorie, Ehsaas, Mahi Ve followed.

“For the pretty ladies in the house,” Aslam sang Tera Hone Laga Hoon.

And for his fans of Nepal, it was Pehli Nazar Mein expressing “I wanted to come to Nepal for a long time.

Today I am very happy. Thank you for taking time out for me.” The singer and his five-member band had come straight from a Dubai concert.

However, they entertained Nepal.
Pehli Nazar Mein was a sheer sound which was performed with piano while another soothing performance was Hona Tha Pyaar. With Woh Lamhe, Aslam expressed how great the audience is and revealed, “I really love you“. And straight from Pakistan, he catered Hum Kis Galli Jaa Rahey Hain to Nepal. Furthermore, at his first concert in Nepal, both melodious and dancing numbers were performed. Meri Kahani, O Mere Khuda, Teri Liye, Aadat and Tu Jaane Na among others re sounded across the venue.

Meanwhile, Aslam also interacted with the audience. He asked the audience, “If someone would show me the country and take me for coffee?” And the audience who sang along with him went wild for the good looking singer, especially female fans. Along with songs, he posed for the crowd and even gave a flying kiss which touched the hearts of many female fans. And among the lucky was a volunteer of the concert Jasmine Tamang, a fan of Aslam. She was given Aslam’s number which belongs to India. “I am speechless! He is so handsome! My wish of meeting him has come true. I am so happy,” she shared with eyes full of tears.

Not only the concert was fruitful for the audience, even the pianist for Aslam, Jonathan Paul enjoyed it. He divulged, “The audience was mind blowing. They are warm and loving.” Indeed, the spectators were wonderful who responded to the singer. On the other hand, Aslam and his backup band created magic through music, despite the sound glitches.

Atif Aslam Live in Nepal on the whole was entertaining, fun and memorable.

The event was organised by ODC Entertainment in association with The Himalayan Times.
