Lately, the brilliant musician appeared in Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast Excuse Me. In the podcast, he talked about teaching Aima Baig and Atif Aslam singing. He also revealed that he avoid Aima Baig and Atif Aslam.
Talking about it, he said, “I help singers a lot because I know their capability and potential, when you hear a singer’s work, you know his limits, you know the maximum you can extract from him/her. For example, when I let Aima Baig sing Qalaabaz Dil, it was not her tonality, she used to sing western songs, so, I taught her and she picked it up very well. She didn’t know that she could sing these kinds of songs as well. Likewise, initially, Atif Aslam’s voice was very good and melodious but it was expressionless then I taught him how to sing a loving or a sad word and he picked it up well”.
