Asim Azhar had been preparing to unveil a collaborative single with a female artist, a venture that had generated considerable excitement among his fans. However, he took to his Instagram Stories expressing his hesitation to release and promote any new music while the nation faces turbulent times. Azhar conveyed his heartfelt desire for love and tolerance to prevail, emphasizing that as artists, their responsibility lies in fostering unity. He reassured his fans that the delay would be worth the wait, promising them a memorable musical experience.

“Dear fans, I know you all have been waiting for an update on the news single. But because of what's going on in my country [Pakistan], I don't think it's right to release and promote anything until everything is back to normal. As artists, we only want love and tolerance around each one of us. Praying for everyone. Stay tuned, I promise it will be worth it,” he wrote.

Similarly, Abdul Hannan had been eagerly anticipating the release of his song Aankhon Aankhon Mein. However, the recent events unfolding in Pakistan have deeply affected him, leading him to reschedule.
