A video featuring Bollywood actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan at the Attari-Wagah Border has gained attention on social media after Atif Aslam’s popular qawwali, Tajdar-e-Haram, was reportedly heard playing from the Pakistani side during their promotional visit.

The actors visited the border to promote their upcoming film, Udta Teer, and attended the Beating Retreat ceremony. However, footage circulating online drew additional attention to the event, with viewers focusing on the sound of the celebrated Pakistani singer’s performance in the background.

Atif Aslam’s Qawwali Draws Social Media Attention

According to the circulating reports, Tajdar-e-Haram, performed by Atif Aslam, could be heard playing through loudspeakers on the Pakistani side while the actors were engaged in promotional activities across the border.

The video quickly attracted attention online, with the unexpected musical backdrop becoming a talking point among social media users. However, the circumstances surrounding the reported playback have not been independently established.

The incident also highlighted the continuing popularity of Atif Aslam’s music among audiences on both sides of the border.

‘Udta Teer’ Faces Criticism Ahead of Release

Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan visited the border as part of the promotional campaign for Udta Teer, which is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on October 23, 2026.

The film has already faced criticism from some Pakistani social media users over its alleged anti-Pakistan subject matter. The objections have also prompted broader criticism of Bollywood from users who have expressed concerns about the portrayal of Pakistan in Indian films.

The reported incident involving Tajdar-e-Haram has since become another talking point surrounding the film’s promotional activities.

A Viral Moment Before the Film’s Release

With Udta Teer scheduled to release shortly, the actors’ Wagah Border appearance has attracted attention beyond the film’s promotional campaign. The viral footage has brought together conversations about Bollywood, cross-border cultural connections and the continuing influence of Pakistani music.

While the qawwali’s reported playback has captured social media interest, the film’s reception and the wider discussion surrounding its subject matter remain significant aspects of the conversation ahead of its release.
