There have been numerous incidents of fans throwing strange objects at singers during their concerts. From ash and undergarments to vapes and drinks, stars such as Cardi B and Drake, among others, have been no stranger to these things. The latest one to join the long list was Pakistani singer Atif Aslam.
While performing at a concert in the US, the Pakistani singer was showered with money by a fan. A video of the same has surfaced online and the singer’s reaction has gone viral, winning hearts on the internet.
In the now-viral clip, Aslam was seen performing “Dekhte Dekhte” when currency notes came flying at him from the crowd. The singer paused his performance mid-way and said, “My friend, donate this money. Don’t throw it at me, this is just disrespect to the money.” He even called the fan on the stage to pick up the currency notes.
“‘My friend, donate this money, don't throw it at me, this is just disrespect to the money’. How calmly he requested and gave a message. What a man he his, one and only undisputed Pakistani star whom you should admire,” read the caption of the post.

Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday, dismissed a petition seeking a complete ban from Indian citizens, companies and associations working with Pakistani actors, singers, musicians, lyricists, and technicians.
The court also observed that the "positive steps" taken by the Indian government in promoting international peace and security, such as allowing the Pakistani cricket team to participate in the World Cricket Cup held in India, would be undermined if such petitions are entertained, Live Law reported.
