KARACHI: Legendary Pakistani singer Sajjad Ali, a household name since the 1990s, has been living abroad for the past few years. While fans have long wondered about his move to Los Angeles, California, a close friend has finally revealed the startling reason behind his departure.
The Incident That Changed Everything
According to a recent podcast revelation by his friend, the iconic artist decided to leave his hometown, Karachi, after a traumatic robbery incident. The security situation and the personal toll of the mugging led him to seek a more secure environment for himself and his family.
“I Left My Country, I Didn’t Sell It”

Sajjad Ali’s response has since won the hearts of millions of Pakistanis. He firmly declined the offer, stating:
“I have left my country, I haven’t sold it.”
A True Patriot
Despite living miles away in the United States, Sajjad Ali remains deeply connected to his roots. His friend emphasized that his patriotism remains unshaken, and while the move was a difficult personal choice driven by safety concerns, his loyalty to Pakistan is non-negotiable. This revelation has put an end to years of speculation, highlighting the singer’s integrity and his enduring love for his homeland.
