If you listen to Atif Aslam and Sarmad Salman with your eyes closed, it is hard to tell them apart. Sarmad Salman, who is a pediatric doctor with an MBBS degree, also describes himself as an artist in his Instagram bio.
After hearing the voice of Pakistan’s living legend Atif Aslam, his fans were in disbelief.
Atif Aslam was born on March 12, 1983, in Wazirabad, Punjab. In 1995, he moved to Lahore with his father. Initially, Atif wanted to become a cricketer, but his family did not support this decision. When he started college, he became drawn to music.
During his college years, Atif Aslam teamed up with his classmate Gohar Mumtaz to release the album “Aadat” in 2003, under the band name “Jal.” The album quickly became a sensation in Pakistan’s music industry.
Since then, Atif Aslam has never looked back. After winning over the hearts of Pakistani audiences, he gained immense popularity in the Indian film industry, surpassing many other singers with his unique voice.
Atif Aslam is beloved not only in Pakistan but also in India, where many aspiring singers try to imitate his style and tone. However, no one has been able to replace him.
Recently, social media has revealed not one, but two “Atif Aslams” in Pakistan. A young Pakistani man named Sarmad Salman has surprised everyone on Instagram with a voice strikingly similar to Atif Aslam’s.
On his Instagram account, Sarmad Salman has posted many videos of himself singing. Not only does his voice resemble Atif Aslam’s, but his appearance does too. Fans, friends, and even casual social media users often tag Atif Aslam in Sarmad’s videos, but the legendary singer has yet to notice his doppelgänger.
