Pakistan and India share a common history and it's heartening to see, that India is welcoming more and more singers and actors from across the border to display their talent in Hindi films. In recent times,
Ali Zafar and
Atif Aslam are some prominent names that come to mind when one speaks of Pakistani singers, as well as actors. While Ali Zafar has acted and sung in films like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and the upcoming London, Paris, New York, Atif's made a name for himself singing for films like Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Kismat Konnection and acting in Bol.
He is also all set to host a music reality show called Surkshetra.
One of the most controversial exports from Pakistan in recent times has been
Veena Malik. The actress has not just managed to grab the right eyeballs with Bigg Boss and being featured almost topless for a men's magazine, she even wants to find a dulha for herself in a reality show.
In the past singers like
Adnan Sami, Shafqat Amanat Ali and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan have already become household names. Adnan has done quite a few albums and done playback for a number of films, while Shafqat is popular with the youth with songs like Mitwaa, Dildara and Bin Tere to his credit. Rahat is the voice behind many a melodious song like Laagi Tumse Mann Ki Lagan, Maine Tenu Samjhava Ki and Tere mast Mast Do Nain. There's something about these guys that we love, for sure!
