KARACHI (Web Desk) – Superstar singer Atif Aslam says that growing up, he had no interest in singing and wanted to become a cricketer instead.
According to media reports, Atif Aslam said in an interview that he was an athlete and wanted to become a cricketer, but his parents wanted him to complete his studies.
