The Real Atif Aslam: Ego, Fame, Worship, and Why He Waited 18 Years

from Dream, Girl · host Sheen Gurrib

He waited 18 years to release a new album. In this episode, Atif Aslam sits down with Dr. Sheen for a rare, unfiltered conversation about what fame really costs, and what it took to find his way back to himself.From the highs of early success and the pressure of staying relevant with no ceiling left to chase, to the quieter, harder truths about ego, anger, and addiction to attention, Atif opens up in a way he rarely does. He talks about recording 'Mustafa Jan e Rehmat,' what performing feels like as an act of worship, and the role his faith has played in keeping him grounded through it all.This is a conversation about fame, family, and the slow work of becoming who you actually want to be, from one of the most recognizable voices in South Asian music. New album 'Subah Aye Na' out now!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5Jk8O4pgq0O6vupKEQ5blyYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOgcmBv5idM
