Atif Aslam Says He Misses His Indian Fans, Reflects on Nearly 10 Years Since His Bollywood Ban

Published by Parlour News

Pakistani singer Atif Aslam was once one of the most prominent playback voices in Bollywood, lending his voice to several popular songs featuring actors including Emraan Hashmi, Salman Khan and Shahid Kapoor. His music found a wide audience in India, where he continues to have a strong fan following, despite a ban on Pakistani artistes. In a recent interview with Kris Fade for his YouTube show One On One with Kris Fade, Atif opened up about his continued connection with Indian listeners and revealed that fans have found ways to access his music despite the restrictions. “For the past 10 years, I haven’t done a song there (India). My fans are listening over VPN, and they burn the CDs and give them to people. Not that I appreciate piracy, but music will reach wherever it has to reach.” Reflecting on the ban and its impact on his career, Atif said, “It’s been almost 10 years since I was banned in India. That was the decision of the Indian government; they decided to ban artistes from …

‘Spread into lungs, kidneys; she misses her old face’

‘Spread into lungs, kidneys; she misses her old face’

Published by Webster

4 min readMumbaiJul 31, 2026 08:00 AM IST The measure of an actor often lies in their capacity to unsettle expectation. Surprise is, perhaps, the purest expression of performance. It is what transforms a character from simply written to vividly remembered. Such moments seldom depend on prolonged screen time or elaborate character arcs. More often, they reside in the briefest of appearances, where an actor, with remarkable economy, reveals the depth of their craft and leaves a life-long imprint. Sharib Hashmi has built a career on precisely that ability. Whether in a brief appearance in Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire or a supporting role in Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan, he has consistently found a way to stand out. But the road to recognition was anything but easy. More than 700 auditions, mounting debts, shelved projects, films that never saw a release, Hashmi endured years of setbacks before finding his footing. Through every disappointment and uncertainty, it was his wife who remained his strongest pillar of support. Yet, as the actor revealed during an exclusive …

Hard shell versus soft shell luggage debate misses one important thing; purpose of travel

Hard shell versus soft shell luggage debate misses one important thing; purpose of travel

Published by Parlour News

I own more suitcases than I care to admit and have reviewed enough to keep the conversation going for days! Cabin cases, large check-in luggage, fabric bags, polycarbonate shells. After years of catching flights for work, family holidays and quick weekend escapes, I have learnt one thing. The perfect suitcase does not exist. Every time someone asks me if they should buy a hard suitcase or a soft one, my answer is always the same. Let me know how you travel first. I have watched people buy a sleek hard shell case because it looked great online, only to regret it after a shopping-heavy holiday. I have also seen soft luggage struggle to protect fragile souvenirs on long-haul flights. The suitcase is only as good as the person using it. So instead of asking which one is better, ask yourself what kind of traveller you are. I reach for a hard suitcase when protection comes first If I know I am carrying perfumes, skincare, electronics or anything that could crack during transit, I never think …
