Pakistani singing sensation Atif Aslam is facing a wave of mixed reactions and criticism after a video from his recent concert in Islamabad went viral. The reason? His energetic performance of a traditional “Bhangra” dance has led some social media users to accuse him of copying the style of famous Indian singer Diljit Dosanjh.
The singer, who is currently busy with a series of concerts across Pakistan, performed to a packed audience. To ramp up the energy and engage the crowd, he unexpectedly broke into a lively Bhangra routine.

Some of the comments included:
- “Non-PTA Diljit” (a playful reference to the Pakistani telecommunication authority).

While many enjoyed the show of energy, a significant number of critics claimed he was imitating another artist’s signature style, making his attempt to entertain the crowd backfire online.
