I resent Salman Ahmad – Ali Azmat

I resent Salman Ahmad – Ali Azmat

Leading rock icon of Pakistan, Ali Azmat added fuel to controversy between him and his former Junoon members saying he never had a resentment towards the band but Slaman Ahmed was unbearable for him.

“I have never had any resentment towards Junoon but its Salman Ahmad that I have a problem with,” said Ali Azmat speaking to the media persons a concert at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (Lums)

“I resent Salman Ahmad; I can’t stand the man and can’t take his dramas. It’s a choice of personal liking,” he added further.

“Salman has tried to contact me but I don’t see the point, I won’t be able to tolerate a lot of things. When you’re younger, you overlook a lot of things and you don’t know much, but I’m 41 now and at this stage in time I cannot play music like that.”

Ali Azmat revealed that his former Junoon fellow tried to contact him but he shunned the offer as he does not see a point in reunion.

“Salman has tried to contact me but I don’t see the point, I won’t be able to tolerate a lot of things. When you’re younger, you overlook a lot of things and you don’t know much, but I’m 41 now and at this stage in time I cannot play music like that,” said
the pop icon of Pakistan.

Elaborating his conflict with Slaman Ahmed and other Junoon members, Azmat said:

“Junoon had become so commercial that I didn’t fit into that set-up. I’ve always avoided the spotlight. I heard Salman say that ‘Ali Azmat could have done much better had he followed in the footsteps of Ali Zafar, Atif Aslam or Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’. But
that’s not what I wanted to do. If I wanted fame, I would have stayed with Junoon.”

The iconic pop singer also hinted at hosting his own TV show.
