Revealed: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Atif Aslam’s Performance Fees for Weddings

Renowned Pakistani singers Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Atif Aslam are not just music icons but also the most sought-after performers for high-profile weddings, commanding fees that reflect their superstar status.

According to recent reports from Pakistani media, the performance fees for these artists at private wedding events are substantial. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan reportedly charges more than 1 crore Pakistani Rupees (approximately $36,000 USD) for a performance at a local wedding. This fee increases if the event is in another city within Pakistan and can reportedly double for performances outside the country.

Atif Aslam, who once avoided private wedding performances, has now entered this lucrative space. Sources indicate his fee starts at an even higher bracket, reportedly over 2 crore Pakistani Rupees (approximately $72,000 USD) per event.

The report also provided context for another legend, Abida Parveen. While she rarely performs at private events due to health, her fee is estimated to be around $60,000 to $70,000 USD if she agrees to perform.

These figures were highlighted following the artists’ performance at the high-profile wedding of Ayesha Talpur, daughter of PPP Women’s Wing President Faryal Talpur. Both singers have a history of performing at elite weddings, including those for business magnates like Malik Riaz in Pakistan and Mukesh Ambani in India.
