A day after singer Atif Aslam`s father died, he performed at the National Stadium Karachi, along with a group of other artists, to honour a commitment for a national cause.

While many praised him for his work ethic, it didn`t go down well with some netizens, who criticised him for doing the gig for money. In a recent interview, Atif A has given his point of view on the matter: `My job is not to tell the haters not to do it. I can`t build a relationship with the whole world. I can`t explain to each and every person what my circumstances were. My job is to make art. Like me for my art, hate me for my music. Don`t tell me what to do.` Well said.
