Indian fans hope to see Pakistani artists back in Bollywood

From Atif Aslam reaching new heights of fame with his Bollywood portfolio to the legendary Naseeruddin Shah’s role in the 2007 Shoaib Mansoor film Khuda Kay Liye, it was customary to see artists advocate for cordial ties between the neighbouring countries. Recently, the Bombay High Court dismissed a legal petition urging the Indian government to prohibit any professional associations with artists from Pakistan, according to Livemint. Fans of renowned singer Atif Aslam, whose repertoire has too often provided a musical backdrop to Bollywood’s romance and heartbreak, are especially thrilled to see the artist’s return. “Atif Aslam is coming back?” exclaimed one user on X. “If I get a movie with Shah Rukh Khan and Fawad, I’ll start believing in God again,” another X user claimed.
