We now have another reason to love Atif Aslam. At the time when we get to hear about rape and molestation cases almost everyday, Atif Aslam gained our respect by taking a stand against it.
Amidst his concert in Karachi, Pakistan, when the audience was relishing his melodious voice, Atif noticed something and signalled his band members to stop the concert. What he did next completely won our hearts.
Some guys in the front row of the concert were harassing a girl and the singer went up to them and asked them if they have never seen a girl?
Tumne kabhi ladki nahi dekhi hai? Tumhari maa behen bhi ho sakti hai yahan par. (Have you never seen a girl? Your mother and sister could be here too.)Atif Aslam
What we saw later was the crowd cheering for him and Atif Aslam telling his crew to get the girl out of the situation.

Being a silent spectator is easy, but taking a stand for what you believe in is hard. Kudos to Atif Aslam for choosing the hard way out!
