Pappu Saein, Reshma and Shoaib Mansoor in the ceremony held at the Governor’s House (Lahore) on March 23 (Pakistan Day), a couple of the industry’s biggest players were brought into a limelight of another kind – a kind they’re not quite used to! Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan received the Presidential Award, Atif Aslam and Zulfiqar Ali alias Pappu Saein received the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz and vocalist Reshma along with film director Shoaib Mansoor received the prestigious Sitara-i-Imtiaz.
That’s what we call achievement!
Shafqat Amanat Ali, of course, is the fifth member of his family to be honoured by the government. Those whose footsteps he is walking in are his father Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, his uncle Hamid Ali Khan and his brother Asad Amanat Ali Khan. Shafqat is proud to be the fifth in row. And for all youngsters who’ve been enthralled by his voice, from Fuzon to ‘Mitwa’ believe its well-deserved.Atif Aslam received the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, which refers to the honour he has brought to Pakistan by performing in almost 25 countries last year. Atif is very patriotic and believes there could be no honour bigger than bringing pride to the country. His vocals are undeniably brilliant, but he believes it’s his patriotism that has brought him the award.
