Atif Aslam sings Doorie from car sunroof after fans spot him during late-night drive

Pakistani singer Atif Aslam is seen in a viral social media video joining fans for an impromptu late-night rendition of his song Doorie during a drive. In the clip, the Woh Lamhe singer pops out of his car’s sunroof and sings along with fans travelling in an adjacent vehicle.The brief interaction took place after a group of fans spotted Aslam late at night and began crooning his 2006 hit Doorie from their car. Responding to the gesture, the singer peeped out of the sunroof and joined them for a few seconds, smiling before going back inside his vehicle.The viral video, shared by Instagram user Izaan Shahid, captures the moment as fans sing from an adjacent car and Aslam joins them in the chorus. The exchange quickly turned a chance sighting into a late-night jam session, with the singer appearing relaxed and engaged with the group.The clip has been widely shared on social media, where several users have praised Aslam for the gesture and described him as humble and grounded. A user commented, "Imagine actually living the life I’ve always dreamed about (sic)." Another user wrote, "Humari bari hoti to chahat fateh ali khan ya dhinchak pooja jaisa koi nikal aata (If it would be us, then either Chahat fateh Ali Khan or Dhinchak Pooja would have been spotted) (sic)."An Instagram comment also read, "Down to earth (sic)." A fan also commented, "how sweet (sic)." Another fan wrote, "he made their day (sic)."Aslam, known for his hit tracks in the Hindi film industry, recently spoke about the India ban on Pakistani artistes in a conversation with Kris Fade for his YouTube channel, One on One with Kris Fade. The 43-year-old said the restrictions pushed him to explore himself as an independent musician while his music continued to reach Indian listeners.Aslam said, "For the past 10 years, I haven’t done a song there. My fans are listening over VPN and they burn the CDs and give them to people. Not that I appreciate piracy, but music will reach wherever it has to reach."The restrictions on Pakistani artistes in India intensified in 2016 following the Uri terror attack. That year, an Atif Aslam concert in Gurgaon was cancelled after the district administration advised organisers to defer the event, while political groups also protested against Pakistani artistes performing in India.Following the tensions between the two nations, in September 2016, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association formally resolved to suspend the employment of Pakistani artistes, actors, and technicians until bilateral ties normalized. This prohibition was further intensified in 2019 in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack, when the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) issued a blanket ban on Pakistani talent operating within the Indian entertainment sector.In 2025, the Pahalgam terror attack triggered a swift and decisive backlash against cross-border entertainment ties. High-profile projects collapsed almost overnight, most notably the romantic comedy Abir Gulaal, featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan alongside Vaani Kapoor. The film's scheduled May release was abruptly halted following intense boycott demands from prominent industry bodies, including the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA).Aslam's catalog features defining tracks like Aadat, Woh Lamhe, and Tere Bin. Over the years, he established a dominant presence in Hindi cinema audio tracks with massive hits including Pehli Nazar Mein, Tu Jaane Na, and Dil Diyan Gallan.- EndsPublished By: Anurag BohraPublished On: Aug 30, 2026 12:34 IST
