“Man sitting next to me is from #India and we both are enjoying #RiyadhSeason. That’s the power of music which transcends beyond boundaries,” Pakistani twitter user Nadeem Akhter wrote.

Thanking his fans on their overwhelming response, Aslam in a Twitter message said, “I am grateful to all the fans who attended the show. I had always wanted to perform in Saudi Arabia and I thank each and every one of you for liking the show. I enjoyed performing Tajdar-e-Haram with all of you.”
