Atif Aslam has revealed that he would like to become an actor and has already received some offers.
The Pakistani singer claimed that he would like to try his hand at acting even though music is his real passion.
"I would like to act in a Bollywood film. It's not my forte, but I want to give it a try," he told IANS.
"I have various offers from Bollywood but nothing has been finalised. I am reading scripts at the moment. Once something is finalised, I will make an official announcement."
Aslam said that he was attracted to Bollywood because of its huge audiences but insisted that he sings because he enjoys it.
"I like singing in Indian films because you get a lot of exposure here. You get to learn many things," he said.
"I am not singing just for money and fame. I am singing for myself because I like it."
