Atif Aslam - Talks about getting some 'me-time' next year

For someone who can get all the attention he likes with his raspy voice, drop-dead good looks and quick wit, it's surprising that Atif Aslam keeps such a low profile. And, he intends to keep it that way. Gearing up to judge a reality show (though till now he hasn't held reality TV in very high regard), Atif tells CS why he likes to stay low-key, literally

Who: Atif Aslam

What: Talks about getting some 'me-time' next year

Where: At a five-star hotel



Moolah matters not There's just so much happening in my life that I don't want to add to my problems by discussing things in public. I want to be able to give my time to my mom and dad, my family and friends. I might get a million roles and songs to do a few years from now, but I won't get this time with my loved ones again. That doesn't mean that I don't like money. I want it all, but I'm not in a rush to get it.



Winning fans Like every one else, I also enjoy the attention that I get from my fans. If they respect your talent, it's great, but I don't like it when they go overboard. I remember, there was a time when I was performing in Australia when a female fan took off her top in front of me. That felt very odd. Then once on my birthday, a group of girls came to my house and asked for me. And they were only in their underwear. That's not the kind of attention that I appreciate. But yes, I also have fans doing nice things for me that are respectful and mean a lot. I don't consider myself as an icon. I'm not here to win the world, I'm just here to win myself.



Future fix Life's been good to me so far. As I look back, this year has truly been special. It brought many surprises -- my debut film Bol happened, I got to perform with Guns N' Roses, became friends with the bandmates, toured odd places like Surinam, Trinidad, Bali and China. Other than that, I was able to identify a lot of 'distractions' in my life that I needed to get rid of. And I did. So yes, it's been a very goal-oriented year for me and I'm really looking forward to 2012 too. I don't plan the future, but I would love to go back to places like Japan and Australia and walk on the Bondi Beach. And next year, I also hope to attend a few concerts like a normal guy and enjoy myself.

Oh yes, and I also need to buy myself a new machine.

Ahead of his huge National Day concert in Abu Dhabi, Pakistani superstar Atif Aslam reveals his inspirations



When did you decide to hold a concert in Abu Dhabi together with Indian rockers Euphoria?

Abu Dhabi Cricket Club approched me to have this event on UAE National Day, so I thought it’ll be interesting to do a big show at the Zayed Cricket Stadium.





What set list are you preparing for this concert?

Well, I’ll try to do the numbers which will represent the emotions of people of Pakistan and India to celebrate UAE National Day.



The Zayed Cricket Stadium is a unique venue. What kind of concert arenas do you like best?

Indoor venues are always nice, as acoustics are more controlled and energy is at a higher level. I really loved performing at the Royal Albert Hall in London.



What does performing on the stage mean to you today?

Music is all about expressing yourself, your inner feelings after being inspired by the environment around you. Performing onstage means a lot to me. It gives you a real high - like the sense of flying - when you see thousands of people moving.



What inspires you and your music?

Everything happening around me is my inspiration.



Of all your songs, which one is your personal favourite?

Yakeen and Jalpari.



What are your future projects?

I will be doing some more songs for Bollywood movies and have some tours planned as well.



EVENT DETAILS

Gates open at 5pm, with Euphoria onstage at 7pm and Atif Aslam at 9pm. Tickets are available online at www.timeouttickets.com, or in person at outlets including select Lulu and Malik Exchanges in Abu Dhabi, Zayed Cricket Stadium, or the Sindh Punjab Restaurant in Bur Dubai and Karama.

Ticket prices range from Dhs5 to Dhs250. For further information, log on to www.adcricketclub.ae.
