Here's what he had to say

Celebrities and fans have been mourning the death of pop star-turned-evangelist Junaid Jamshed, not just in Pakistan but across the border as well.

After Bollywood star Sophie Choudhry and veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, megastar Aamir Khan has reacted to Junaid's death.



Speaking during an interview with local media, Aamir expressed his sorrow over Junaid's untimely death. "I was sorrowful, when I heard his flight crashed," he said.

The PK actor revealed that he met JJ when he went for Hajj with his mother. "I met him when I went for Hajj with my mother, and a few other times and each time I found him to be a noble person," he said.

"I felt very sad, it was a tragic thing to happen," he added.

The singer-turned-religious scholar was travelling from Chitral to Islamabad in a PIA aircraft when it crashed near Abbottabad, killing all 48 people on board.



Born on September 3, 1964, the pop singer-turned-evangelist shot to stardom and became a household name in the 1980s as the front man of the celebrated Vital Signs.

The band delivered several chart-topping numbers, including the timeless classic Dil Dil Pakistan, dubbed the unofficial national anthem of Pakistan. Other songs included Tum Mil Gaye, Aitebaar and Who Kaun Thi.

Vital Signs gained national and international acclaim, becoming the first Pakistani band to achieve commercial success.

In 2004, Jamsheds life took a dramatic turn as he announced to quit his illustrious music career opting to focus on religion, and began preaching on TV.



His appearance changed drastically, as he ditched leather jackets and stonewashed jeans for a more traditional ensemble and a beard. He went on to build a fashion empire, with a clothing boutique known as J. which has several outlets across Pakistan.
