Ali Zafar is celebrated as one of South Asia’s most versatile entertainers—a singer-songwriter, actor, painter, and performer—with a career spanning over two decades. He first gained fame with his debut album Huqa Pani (2003), whose hit track “Channo” became a massive success, earning him the Best Album award at the Lux Style Awards.

His Bollywood debut in Tere Bin Laden (2010) was widely praised, followed by roles in popular films such as Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, London, Paris, New York, and Chashme Baddoor. With ‘Roshni’, fans can look forward to a major musical comeback from one of the region’s most enduring and versatile artists. Back home, Zafar also produced and starred in the blockbuster Pakistani film Teefa in Trouble (2018), reinforcing his reputation as a multi-talented entertainer.
