“I’ve done pop music, folk music and even Sufi music. I’ve done religious kalams too. But I’ve just had to spend all these years away from Pakistan for my daughters’ education and it wasn’t long before my well-wishers started sending me these gossips. One of them is a YouTube video titled, ‘Ali Haider US main gumnami ki zindagi guzar rahe hain.’ It had over a million views,” shared Haider, shockingly.
He further expressed: “Sometimes you’re unaware of things happening in your life. Such turning points occur in your life which changes the whole scenario. I got many opportunities to move to abroad in my career, but I never left Pakistan for more than two to three months.” Unfortunately All of a sudden, due to some reasons I had to leave Pakistan and move abroad.
