Atif Aslam and Hamza Ali Abbasi, two of Pakistan’s biggest stars, share a special bond that goes beyond their professional careers. The duo traveled together for their Hajj pilgrimage before Hamza married Naimal Khawar, and their pictures from the trip went viral. Now, as Atif promotes his new project Borderless World, Hamza joined him to show support for his Hajj companion.
During an event, Atif shared a heartwarming story about how he connected Hamza to Naimal during their Hajj trip. At the time, Naimal, who was planning her wedding with Hamza, had been reaching out to him. She had asked him not to shave his head for the wedding, but Hamza went ahead and did it anyway.
Hamza also recalled how Atif Aslam came to his aid during the trip. He hadn’t packed anything for Hajj, and Atif lent him essential items like soap, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and even slippers, strengthening their bond as “Hajj brothers.”
