There have been many legends in music in the past and even today, but in this era, Atif Aslam and Ali Zafar are among the most loved singers.
About Atif Aslam:
Atif Aslam was born on 12 March 1983 in Wazirabad, Punjab. In 1995, he moved to Lahore with his father. While he once dreamed of becoming a cricketer, he ended up finding fame in music. In 2003, he released his first album Aadat under the band Jal, and its songs became a huge hit within weeks.
From there, his journey to success began. First, he gained fame in Pakistan, and then in 2005, he sang Woh Lamhe for the Bollywood film Zeher and Aadat for the film Kalyug.
These songs made his entry into Bollywood easier, and soon, he became the first choice for many big Indian producers.
Some of his famous songs include Doorie, Hum Kis Gali Ja Rahe Hain, Meri Kahani, Hona Tha Pyar, Tere Bin, Pehli Nazar Mein, Tera Hone Laga Hoon, Tu Jaane Na, Dil Diyan Gallan, and O Meri Laila.
Atif Aslam also recited the famous Tajdar-e-Haram in his magical voice, which was loved by many. He also beautifully recited Asma-ul-Husna.

He has given many hit songs in different languages including Urdu, Sindhi, Seraiki, Pashto, and Shina. His music is popular in every corner of the country.
If we compare their talent, both Atif Aslam and Ali Zafar are highly respected. And just like their talent, their fees are also surprisingly high, which makes them stand out from other singers.
Now, about their fees:
It is true that Atif Aslam has never appeared in morning shows or regular interviews, and the main reason is his high fee, which most people cannot afford. His fee is said to be shocking.
In a clip that went viral on social media, singer Naeem Abbas Rufi can be heard talking about the fees of these two singers.
During a podcast with Nadir Ali, when Nadir asked Naeem Abbas who is the most expensive singer in Pakistan.
In response, Naeem Abbas Rufi mentioned the names of Atif Aslam and Ali Zafar and revealed that Atif Aslam is the most expensive singer in Pakistan.
He said that Atif charges 70,000 dollars for a single show in the US, which is around 1.96 crore rupees in Pakistani currency. In Pakistan, Atif Aslam charges between 80 lakh to 1 crore rupees for one show.
Continuing the conversation, when Nadir Ali asked about Ali Zafar, Naeem Abbas shared that Ali Zafar is a little behind Atif Aslam in terms of payment. He charges around 20 to 25 lakh rupees for a show in Pakistan.
