“She forgot this is a Pakistani concert.”
Atif Aslam’s recent concert in Vancouver has stirred a storm after a female fan’s stage performance went viral.
The singer, who has been performing consecutive shows as part of his world tour, was mid-performance when the incident unfolded.
A female fan unexpectedly climbed on stage and began dancing in front of Atif, sparking immediate backlash across social media.
Social media users condemned the act, labelling it indecent and disrespectful, with many questioning the lack of decorum at public concerts.
Many labelled the girl’s dance moves “provocative”.
One commenter remarked: “Such behaviour in front of thousands is simply ridiculous.”
Another wrote: “This is the height of vulgarity. People think such actions make them modern or progressive, but it’s shameful.”
One said: “Music has made people mad, abnormal, and paralysed. It’s hilarious to see such people.”
Another remarked: “She forgot this is a Pakistani concert.”
Memes and jokes also surfaced, with one user likening the dancer to “a mosquito buzzing near your ear in the washroom”.
Some labelled the performance outright “inappropriate” and urged event organisers to take stricter steps to ensure professionalism at shows.
The criticism did not stop with the fan, as Atif Aslam himself faced backlash from a portion of social media.
Certain users questioned his decision to perform shortly after his father’s passing, calling it insensitive and emotionally detached.
One wrote: “His father just passed away, and he is busy with concerts. I don’t know what kind of bond he shared with his father that didn’t stop him.”

Despite the negativity, many defended the singer, highlighting that he remained calm and continued performing without adding to the chaos.
One said: “Kudos to him for continuing so calmly.”
Supporters argued that the responsibility lies with organisers, who must maintain crowd discipline and prevent such disruptions in the future.
The viral clip has reignited debate over the behaviour of fans and boundaries during live concerts.
The concert culture that Pakistani artists face has often been criticised for lacking discipline.
There have been repeated incidents that tarnished otherwise successful shows.
As one of Pakistan’s most celebrated singers, Atif Aslam is no stranger to unpredictable moments during his performances.
His ability to engage with crowds has long been admired.
With the video continuing to circulate widely, the controversy shows no signs of fading, and discussions remain heated online.
