    Pakistani singer Quratulain Balouch was attacked by a brown bear on September 4 while she was sleeping in a tent and was immediately taken to a hospital. The star was visiting the villages of Baltistan, where she took part in the flood relief activities.

    Balouch is a popular singer and songwriter. She is known for songs such as "Thagyan", "Jogan Jogan", and "Baliye".

    Late on Saturday night, her team confirmed that she is now in a sable condition and out of danger.

    "Official statement. Truly grateful to everyone pouring love and prayers for Quratulain. Quratulain was in Skardu these past few days, taking part in the flood relief activities in remote villages in Baltistan that were deeply affected by recent floods, working alongside Comprehensive Disaster Response Services (CDRS)," the note stated.

    The team confirmed the 37-year-old singer did not suffer any fractures and is recovering from the wounds.

    "On the night of 4th September 2025, while she was sleeping in her tent, she was attacked by a brown bear. The CDRS team quickly tried and succeeded in scaring the bear away. Quratulain was immediately rushed to the nearest medical facility. Her condition is now out of danger. Thankfully there were no fractures and she is recovering from the wounds."

    "She needs rest and privacy at this time. All public engagements have been postponed till she recovers. Requesting all for prayers. Team QB," the statement added.

    One of her shows, which was supposed to take place on September 19 has also been postponed.
