Pakistani celebs pay tribute to the iconic singer Shaukat Ali who passed away in Lahore on Friday.
Shaukat Ali gave almost 55 years of his life to the world of art, during which he sang not only Punjabi folk songs but also mystical verses while he also recorded songs in Urdu and as well as gazals.
However, Shaukat Ali’s national songs that he particularly sang during the 1965 and 71 war made him a popular hero.

Shaukat Ali was awarded the Presidential Medal of Excellence in 1990 for his artistic services.
Paying tribute to the veteran singer, Atif Aslam in a tweet said, “Deeply saddened to learn about the demise of Shaukat Ali Khan Sb.
