"instead of showering money at me, you can donate it."
Atif Aslam gained praise on social media when a video clip went viral, showing him halting his concert midway after a fan threw money on the stage.
He is currently touring North America as he marks 20 years in the music industry.
The tour is running from September through to November.
The video shows Atif vibing to his song ‘Dekhte Dekhte’ when the fan throws money at him.
Atif then looks down at the money before raising his arm towards the musicians signalling them to stop the music.
He is heard saying to his fan:
“My friend, instead of showering money at me, you can donate it.
Atif then invited the fan onto the stage to take back his money, adding:
“I appreciate your wealth, but the act of showering money can be seen as disrespectful.”
His gesture did not go unnoticed and the video was posted on X appreciating Atif’s actions.
The caption read: “How calmly he requested and gave a message to the Pakistani people who have made this thing a culture.
“What a man, he is the only undisputed Pakistani star who you should admire.”
Many individuals praised the singer, with one fan saying:
“What a man, what a singer. The real pride of Pakistan.”
Another commented: “Pure gem! There is not a single moment where I regret loving him!”
A third said: “He is right. I don’t like people who throw money on people and show off.”
