June 16, 2025 Popular Pakistani singer Asim Azhar made headlines last night during a live concert when a few members of the audience began chanting the name of his former fiancée, Meerub Ali.
The incident occurred during Asim’s performance—his first major public appearance following the announcement of his broken engagement with Meerub. Despite the unexpected situation, the singer responded with grace, urging the crowd to refrain from taking a girl’s name in such a manner, reminding everyone that “everyone has a family.”
Asim and Meerub had been together for over three years and were frequently seen celebrating events and holidays together. Their relationship was admired by fans across social media, making the news of their split all the more surprising. This breakup follows Asim’s previously publicized and controversial relationship with actress Hania Aamir.
Social media users praised Asim Azhar’s composed and respectful reaction. One user commented, “Half of Asim’s life will now be spent hearing names of his exes at concerts,” while another wrote, “He handled it with dignity—those chanting like that are simply being ignorant.”
Others pointed out that when celebrities choose to share their private lives online, reactions like these become an inevitable part of the fame. Nonetheless, the incident has sparked a conversation on maintaining respect for individuals’ personal boundaries, even in the world of public performances.
