KARACHI: Atif Aslam’s singing has been appreciated and criticised, but his tunes are hummed
by every age-group.

What makes him a famous singer? He says, "I don't know if it’s the voice or the style of singing. I have no idea!"

But Aslam is quick to point out that he is highly disappointed with new age singers copying
his singing technique.

“I don't understand why the new generation singers are singing in my style. I think that if they follow themselves, they will be much bigger than Atif Aslam,” he said.

Aslam stated that it’s the love and respect he receives in India that encourages him to
visit the country year after year.

He also cleared the air about certain song versions that have been attributed to him.

"People have been telling me that there’s a version of a song from Talaash, I have no idea about the song and it says it’s written by Atif. Then there is a version of Nadaan Parindey again attributed to me on the internet. It sounded like my voice and I was like 'maine yeh kab gaya hai?' It's not me."
