Pakistani singer Natasha Baig has revealed that she once received an offer from Bollywood. The singer was approached for a scene in Tiger Zinda Hai.
Natasha Baig shared the details during a recent interview. She said the offer came before relations between Pakistan and India became tense.
The proposed scene appeared near the end of the 2017 Bollywood film. It featured a national anthem sequence involving several singers.
Natasha Baig Recalls Tiger Zinda Hai Offer
According to Natasha Baig, she received a call from the film’s team. They wanted her to join other choir singers for the scene.
She said the opportunity came as a major surprise. She also recalled feeling extremely excited after receiving the offer.
Preparations for the performance had reportedly already begun. The production team had also worked on logistics for the singers.
However, tensions between Pakistan and India increased during that period. The planned performance was eventually dropped.
Natasha Baig said she never received another Bollywood call after that opportunity ended. She described it as her only direct offer from the Hindi film industry.
Atif Aslam Also Featured in the Film
The development came during a difficult period for Pakistani artists in Bollywood. Pakistani performers faced restrictions in the Indian entertainment industry.
Despite those restrictions, Pakistani singer Atif Aslam contributed to the film’s music. He performed the popular song “Dil Diyan Gallan” for Tiger Zinda Hai.
The film was released in December 2017. It was directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Yash Raj Films.
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif played the lead roles. The movie continued the story established in Ek Tha Tiger.
