Famous Pakistani singer Quratulain Balouch, best known for her soulful rendition of Woh Humsafar Tha, survived a rare bear attack while camping in Deosai National Park, Gilgit-Baltistan. The incident has left fans across the country in shock, but officials have confirmed that she is now out of danger.
The Incident in Deosai
According to initial reports, Quratulain Balouch was camping in Deosai when a wild bear suddenly attacked. Witnesses say the bear managed to wound both of her arms before nearby people rushed to help. She was quickly moved to safety and shifted to the Regional Hospital in Skardu for medical treatment.
Doctors at the hospital confirmed that while she sustained serious injuries, her condition is stable. They added that she is currently under observation and receiving the required medical care. Hospital staff have assured her fans that she is out of danger and will recover with time.
Rare Encounter Raises Safety Concerns

Wildlife experts note that the Himalayan brown bear population in the region is extremely limited and usually avoids humans. This rare encounter has prompted authorities to review safety measures for tourists and campers in the area.
The incident has also reignited discussions about human-wildlife conflict in Pakistan’s northern regions. Conservationists argue that proper awareness and guidelines are needed for visitors to avoid such accidents in natural habitats.
Fans Express Relief
News of the attack spread quickly across social media, with fans and fellow artists expressing their prayers and relief after hearing that Quratulain Balouch survived. Many highlighted her contributions to Pakistani music and wished her a speedy recovery.
