Zoheb Hassan to visit India
(No Ratings Yet)Zoheb Hassan, brother of late Pakistani pop singer Nazia Hassan, will visit India to revive his connections with the music world, his mother said today.
“Zoheb would soon be going to India for reviving his connections in the music world,” Hassan’s mother, Muniza Basir said.
“I am glad that he has gone back to music as music is his first love. Loosing a sister like Nazia and giving up music was catastrophic for Zoheb,” she said in a statement.
While Nazia Hassan shot to fame with the soundtrack of ‘Aap jaisa koi’ from the Hindi film ‘Qurbani’ in 1980, her brother Zoheb came to limelight by featuring along with her in the album ‘Disco Deewani’, 26 years ago.
The title track became a number one hit in India and Pakistan and also topped music charts in several Latin American countries including Argentina and Venezuela and the Middle East.
Zoheb, who had given up music for quite some time, has now come up with his latest album ‘Kismet’, which has become a hit within two weeks of its release in Pakistan with a sale of over 50,000 CDs, Muniza said in a statement.
Nazia Hassan joined the United Nations in 1991 as an intern in ‘Women’s International Leadership’ programme and then went on to work in the UN Department of Political and Security Council Affairs.
She died of lung cancer in London in August 2000 at the age of 38.
