Rahat Fateh Ali Khan wedding fee and Atif Aslam wedding charges have long been a topic of interest as Pakistan’s top singers continue to perform at high-profile weddings and private events, where their appearance fees often make headlines.
Both singers have performed at exclusive events hosted by influential personalities, including Malik Riaz in Pakistan and Mukesh Ambani in India. Recently, their performances at the wedding of Ayesha Talpur, daughter of Faryal Talpur, also went viral on social media.
Senior anchorperson Naeem Hanif, during a recent discussion, shared interesting details about the fees charged by these star singers.
According to him, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan charges around Rs12.5 million (Rs1.25 crore) for performing at a wedding ceremony in Pakistan. If the event is held in another city, the fee increases, while overseas performances nearly double his charges.
Naeem Hanif further revealed that Atif Aslam initially avoided performing at weddings. However, around seven years ago, Malik Riaz invited him to perform at his grandson’s wedding. Atif reportedly demanded Rs15 million, expecting the offer to be declined, but the amount was paid. Since then, Atif Aslam has regularly performed at weddings and now charges approximately Rs20 to Rs25 million per performance.
He also mentioned that legendary Sufi singer Abida Parveen performs less frequently due to health reasons, but when she does appear at events, her fee remains high, ranging between $60,000 and $70,000.
According to estimates shared by Naeem Hanif, the total cost of singers’ performances at the mentioned wedding was close to Rs70 million.
