Nazia Hassan was the most influential and probably the only real female pop singer of the 80s and 90s in both India and Pakistan.
Pop queen Nazia Hassan was born on April 3rd, 1965 and debuted into the massive music industry of the subcontinent by introducing the disco genre with her Aap Jaisa Koi song for Feroz Khan's film Qurbani.
Aap Jaisa Koi was a massive hit that led to the trio Nazia Hassan, her brother Zoheb Hassan and London-based music director Biddu collaborating for their very first album Disco Deewane which was another massive hit and had topped the charts home, India and abroad.
The iconic Disco Deewane that became youth's anthem at the time was so ahead of its time that it was borrowed in Karan Johar's 2012 film Student of the Year.
She was diagnosed with cancer and went through several chemotherapy sessions. Just when it looked as though she had beaten cancer, her health deteriorated and she was admitted to the hospital again where she breathed her last on August 13, 2000.
It's been 16 years since her passing but she is very much alive in hearts of not only the fans but also the next generation. Like a fairy, princess Nazia is here in spirit to rule the generations
