The award-winning artist, in his latest concert, surprised the attendees with an announcement. In a clip that has gone viral on social media, Singh, during his Houston concert shared, &#8220;You can rest your arms over there the person from Pakistan.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI will come to Pakistan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Singh returned to the stage last year after a performance hiatus with a sold-out show in Abu Dhabi in November. The singer then surprised the crowd with a stand he took for Pakistani artists without caring much about the \u2018controversy\u2019 it would evoke back home.<\/p>\n<p>Later, attendees of the show praised his guts online and shared the moments that made their hearts swell up for the singer. A Twitter user also shared a clip from the concert where the Tum Hi Ho singer specifically praised Atif Aslam before moving on to sing Pehli Nazar Mein.<br \/>\nThe Agar Tum Saath Ho crooner made it a point to ask why Pakistani singers and songs had been barred in India before asserting, \u201cAtif Aslam, Shafqat Amanat Ali are two of my favourite singers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat solid statement from Arijit Singh regarding Pakistani singers,\u201d lauded a Twitter user sharing the video that sees Singh on stage, praising Atif. \u201cSinging songs of these artists as well,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p>Another attendee wrote an appreciation thread straight from the concert hall for Arijit on the micro-blogging site. \u201cAt Arijit Singh\u2019s concert right now and the guy has just won me over,\u201d they admitted. \u201cHe sings Sayyonee and says this is by one of his favourite bands, Junoon, and is for all my fans from Pakistan here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what really \u2018killed it\u2019 for the fan was Arijit singing an Atif song, before taking a pause to say, \u201cNow I will ask something controversial, why have we barred Pakistani songs? Atif Aslam and Shafqat Amanat Ali are two of my favourite singers and I don\u2019t give a damn.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Houston 23 May (Online): Celebrated Indian singer Arijit Singh is currently on a tour in the United State.
