Pakistani singer Atif Aslam is going viral for all the right reasons.

The popular artiste who was performing in Karachi on Sunday stopped mid-song to prevent a girl from being harassed by a bunch of boys.

A video posted by one of the concert attendees is doing the rounds on social media.

The singer is seen getting off stage and reprimanding the boys in the front row, after which he pulls the girl up on stage and requests the event organizers to give her a seat elsewhere.

Aslam is also heard telling them to "act like a human being" as the crowds went berserk with shouts of Atif! Atif!

Tons of praises have been heaped upon Aslam for his gentlemanly act.
