A recent performance by Atif Aslam has triggered an online debate after a video of him dancing on stage went viral. The singer, known mainly for his soulful voice rather than choreography, surprised fans with an energetic routine that quickly drew mixed reactions on social media.
The clip shows Atif performing expressive dance moves during a live concert—something rarely seen in his shows. Because he usually focuses only on singing, the new performance immediately grabbed attention and led to comparisons with Indian star Diljit Dosanjh.
Social media users pointed out that Diljit is known for his lively bhangra-inspired dance style, and some accused Atif of copying his stage presence. A few viewers said the dance looked unnatural and argued that Atif does not need such moves to entertain his audience.
However, many fans defended him, saying that artists should be allowed to experiment and evolve. They appreciated that Atif stepped out of his comfort zone and tried something different for his audience.
The reaction remained divided. Some criticized the performance, while others praised him for enjoying the moment and bringing fresh energy to the stage. Since Atif rarely includes dance in his concerts, the viral clip sparked a wider discussion about artistic freedom and changing performance styles.
Diljit Dosanjh has built a strong identity around energetic dance routines, while Atif Aslam has been known for emotional and vocal-driven performances. This unexpected dance moment created a new comparison between the two artists and continues to fuel conversations among fans across the region.
