== Controversy ==
When Afsana Khan visited her own school, a government senior secondary school at Badal village in the district and sang some lines of her song Dhakka, the video went viral. A complaint was filed against her to the police since the song seemed to promote gun culture.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kamal |first=Neel |date=February 4, 2020 |title=After Sidhu Moosewala, complaint against Punjabi singer Afsana Khan for indecent song |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/amritsar/after-moosewala-complaint-against-singer-afsana-for-indecent-song/articleshow/73915752.cms |access-date=2020-12-15 |website=[[The Times of India]] |language=en}}</ref>
