MUMBAI: Nazia Hassan, the late Pakistan pop singer, was the epitome of a true star. Dubbed the “Queen of Pop,” her contribution to Pakistani music changed the map of the industry and her success opened doors for other women in the arena of entertainment that no one thought even existed. The world was devastated when the beautiful, graceful Nazia lost her battle with cancer at the young age of 35.
She collaborated with her brother, Zoheb Hassan on her album, “Disco Deewane,” which went on to break all records at the time to become the highest selling Hindi/Urdu album with worldwide sales exceeding 65 million — the duo became unstoppable.
The response to songs like “Zara Chehra,” “Dheere Dheere” and “Jaana,” a tribute to Nazia, was unexpectedly overwhelming and after the Zoheb was inundated with offers to do more songs and films.
