The Pakistani singer took to his Instagram handle to share an emotional tribute to his father, along with an adorable picture of him kissing his father on the cheek. 'A final goodbye to my Iron Man. Rest in love, Abu g. Keep us in your prayers,' Atif wrote in the caption. While his Instagram handle can't be accessed in India currently, multiple screenshots of his post were spotted on social media. Several other Pakistani celebrities, from the film and music industries, also took to social media to condole the death of his father. As per the Times of India, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif also prayed for the family's strength in the trying times ahead. Atif also requested his fans to keep his father in their prayers. The final rites of Atif's father will take place in Valencia Town in Lahore following Asr prayers. Atif was born to Muhammad Aslam and Rehana Shaheen in Wazirabad, Punjab in 1983. He also has three brothers — Shahzad Aslam, Shahbaz Aslam, and Shiraaz Aslam — who have collaborated with him professionally too, as his photographer, designer-manager, and website coordinator respectively. Atif started his music career as a member of the Pakistani band Jal. They sang the iconic track 'Aadat', which was later used in Mohit Suri's 2005 romantic thriller Kalyug.

18-Year Rift! Did Ex-Congress MLA's Daughter Come Between These 2 Tollywood Superstars?
When speaking of the biggest superstars in South Indian cinema, the names Ram Charan and Allu Arjun are bound to surface. Not only are they leading men in Tollywood, but they are also related to each other and were raised together. It's often claimed that a rift once developed between them over an actress, sparking rumours that they did not speak for 18 years. Let's delve into the truth behind these speculations. In the early days of Allu Arjun's career, long before he gained pan-India recognition with Pushpa, there were murmurs about his strong affection for a certain actress. That actress was Neha Sharma, who first garnered attention with the 2007 Telugu film Chirutha. Neha Sharma, who later rose to fame in Bollywood with Crook (2010), began her journey in cinema with that Telugu debut. At the time, reports suggested that she and Allu Arjun had become quite close, with some even claiming she wished to marry him. In 2007, Neha Sharma starred opposite Ram Charan in Chirutha. During the course of the film's production, rumours emerged about an alleged romance between Neha Sharma and Ram Charan. Some gossip even went so far as to claim they had secretly wed and honeymooned together. These reports were said to have deeply upset Allu Arjun, who was heartbroken upon hearing that the woman he reportedly wished to marry had fallen for his cousin. This incident is widely believed to have caused a strain in their relationship, with claims suggesting the two stopped speaking following Chirutha's release, an estrangement said to have lasted 18 years. As the matter gained attention, Ram Charan eventually addressed the rumours publicly. According to a report in The Deccan Chronicle, he refuted the claims of a secret marriage to Neha Sharma during a television interview. He clarified that such baseless speculation could have harmed his relationship with his wife, Upasana. At the time those rumours surfaced, Upasana was a close friend of his, and both were aware that the stories were unfounded. Ram Charan went on to marry Upasana in 2012, and the couple welcomed a daughter in 2023. Meanwhile, Allu Arjun found love with Sneha Reddy, whom he married in 2011; they now have two children. Both stars have since gone on to achieve international acclaim with films like RRR and Pushpa. Today, they remain among the most celebrated actors in Indian cinema. However, it is said that a distance still exists between them. When attending public events, they are often seen keeping to themselves. That said, there is no concrete evidence linking Neha Sharma to their alleged falling out. The true reason for the apparent estrangement remains unknown, though it continues to be a subject of discussion within the industry. As for Neha Sharma, she is the daughter of Ajay Sharma, a former Congress MLA from Bhagalpur, Bihar. She currently resides in Mumbai with her sister, Ayesha Sharma, who is also active in Hindi cinema. Neha Sharma is now focusing her efforts on web series and digital ventures.

Aalim Hakim Shares Pic With Mohit Suri Amid Saiyaara Success: ‘Hair Is Never Just Style'
Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim celebrates Saiyaara's success, praising Mohit Suri's artistry and recalling their two-decade journey of crafting iconic on-screen looks. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara has become the biggest blockbuster of 2025, and Ahaan Panday's character of Krish Kapoor has secured a permanent place in audiences' hearts. Audiences have loved him not only as a person but also for the looks he dons in the film, which have made female fans crush hard on him. However, behind every final look, there are a series of tests and discussions. Similarly, Ahaan's look as Krish Kapoor with messy hair has become a new trend, and it was celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim who designed it. As the movie continues to shatter records, Hakim took to his Instagram to share a picture with the man behind the lens, whose vision made Ahaan a star, Mohit Suri, and along with it, he shared a series of movie posters of Suri's films for which he has designed the looks. Aalim Hakim's nostalgic post While getting emotional, Aalim wrote, 'From Zeher (2005) to Saiyaara (2025), I've had the rare honour of being part of every chapter of @mohitsuri's extraordinary journey. Over these two decades, I've seen Mohit's magic up close — the way he shapes characters that are raw, organic, and painfully real, yet still carry that breathtaking cinematic glow." 'Hair is never just style… it's the silent poetry of a character — a language that speaks straight to the heart without a single word. And with Mohit Suri, every strand becomes part of a story that lingers long after the credits roll," he further added. Aalim then recalled the movies he has worked on with Suri and shared, 'From Zeher, Kalyug, Awarapan, Raaz, Woh Lamhe, Murder 2, Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Half Girlfriend, Malang, Ek Villain Returns to now Saiyaara — every film has been a lesson in storytelling through detail. Mohit lives in his process — endless look tests, letting actors breathe into their roles, watching them quietly, and above all, listening… truly listening. He takes every suggestion with humility, turning it into something greater than you imagined." 'What makes Mohit's artistry rare is his perfect balance — nothing ever feels fake, yet everything feels larger than life. His frames hold truth and beauty in equal measure. Two decades. Countless characters. And a brotherhood built on trust, respect, and shared dreams. For every aspiring filmmaker, Mohit's journey is living proof that focus, humility, and relentless passion will always create timeless magic. Here's to the stories we've told… and the ones we've yet to create," he concluded. About Saiyaara's success Despite new film releases such as Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 and Triptii Dimri–Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2, Saiyaara is holding strong at the box office, with steady collections and positive word of mouth. The film has maintained a remarkable run at the box office, collecting over ₹300 crore in India within three weeks. Saiyaara, written by Rohan Shankar and Sankalp Sadanah, features great supporting performances from Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Sid Makkar, Shaad Randhawa, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. The film also marks the first collaboration between filmmaker Mohit Suri and the legendary production company Yash Raj Films. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
