In 2005, Bollywood got a taste of Atif Aslam’s mesmerizing voice as the Pakistani singer crooned the hit track Woh Lamhe... for Mahesh Bhatt’s Zeher. There was no looking back, as the singer-songwriter continued to give Hindi cinema several soulful hits over the years in films like Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani, Race, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and more recently Tiger Zinda Hai.
