Pakistan’s rockstar Ali Zafar has been honoured with the Cultural Icon Award in United States for his contributions to the promotion of music and culture.
As per details, the awards was given to Ali Zafar by Pakistani American Law Enforcement Society in US for his efforts in promoting cultural values and the positive image of Pakistan through his art.
During his address at the event, Ali Zafar stated that the power of art goes beyond borders and has the ability to connect hearts.

The devastating floods this year have caused widespread destruction, hitting Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Punjab the hardest. The threat has now reached parts of Sindh as well.
Ali Zafar shared the news via a video on Instagram, saying the concert will take place on 27 September at the Alhamra Cultural Complex in Lahore. Several other well-known singers will join him on stage for the event.
“This is not just a musical show; it is a call for humanity,” Ali Zafar said. “Let us all come together to bring hope to those still waiting for our help. Let’s stand with the people who need us the most.”
He urged everyone to support flood victims, noting that many have lost their life savings in the disaster. The singer also hinted at surprise performances by other famous artists, whose names will be announced later.
All proceeds from the concert will go towards relief and rehabilitation efforts for affected families, organised by the Ali Zafar Foundation.
This year’s floods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Punjab have claimed over 1,000 lives, displaced millions, and destroyed thousands of acres of crops, leaving families in urgent need of aid.
