Asim Azhar had an unexpected full-circle moment on his recent world tour when he reunited with digital creator Nida Maqsood, who once starred in his music video for 5 am nearly a decade ago.
The chance encounter unfolded during the Los Angeles leg of his tour, where Nida attended the concert and caught the singer by surprise. In a video she later shared online, Asim paused mid-show to introduce her to the audience, recalling how the two had filmed 5 am together in the same city ten years earlier. The moment drew cheers from the crowd, with the singer visibly delighted by the reunion.
Released in 2017, 5 am marked a turning point in Asim’s career. The track introduced a more polished, electronic pop sound that set him apart from his earlier work and signalled a shift in Pakistan’s evolving music landscape. It remains one of the songs closely associated with his early rise.
Recently, fellow actor Hania Aamir has also been spotted at several stops on the tour, sparking speculation among fans about her presence and the nature of her support. Neither has addressed the rumours, but the sightings have kept audiences talking.
