Singer Atif Aslam has sparked discussions with his recent perspective on breakups. He described breakups as a stepping stone to self-growth, and his views have gained traction online, with many applauding his advice while others debate his standpoint.
The singer, who is happily married to Sara Bharwana and a father of three, shared his insights on breakups in his vlog when a fan asked him about the backstory of the song Aadat, which fans found particularly special and motivating.
Atif responded to the fan’s question by stating that there was nothing particularly special about it, but he had composed the song during a period of loneliness in his life. He admitted that he was going through a breakup at the time and found it difficult to process and communicate his emotions. As a result, he decided to express them through his song, which later became a cult classic.
Another fan then sought his advice, mentioning that she had recently experienced a breakup. Atif responded that the best decision she had made in her life was the breakup itself, adding that if she had initiated it, he would be very proud of her.
“There are far more significant things to achieve in life. Breakups, makeups, and relationships do not define one’s purpose,” he stated, encouraging fans to focus on their careers and excel in their chosen fields.
He further added, “Once you have enough money, relationships will come to you rather than the other way around.”
His statements have sparked widespread discussions on social media, with reactions divided. While many admire his pragmatic approach to life and relationships, others argue that love and companionship are just as important as career success. One fan reacted, “Paisa itna hona chahiye ke breakup aapko kabhi feel na ho,” while another commented, “Atif the therapist.” Many social media users dubbed him a “motivation guru” after watching the clip.
Another fan resonated with his statement, saying, “I really needed to hear something like this today on Valentine’s Day, especially as I have been questioning my decision to break up with her a year ago. I’ve been missing her a lot lately, but at the same time, I also miss having money in my bank account—which currently stands at just 16 rupees.”
Meanwhile, just a few hours ago, Atif shared a heartfelt Valentine’s Day post featuring his wife, Sara Bharwana. The post included a series of intimate moments from their trips and meals together, captioned, “Hold your loved ones tight ❤️#atifaslam #love #mypeople.”
