Nazia Hassan: A disco queen remembered

Legend is all i can say about her…..Recommend

@adnan aziz:

More women need to stand up against the husbands,fathers,brothers telling them what they can & what they can’t do.The men in our society think that it is their god given right to make all the decisions for the women in their lives,that women are not intelligent enough to make decisions for themselves.

our women also abdicate all responsibility for decisionmaking to their fathers,brothers or husbands.it is time that our wome started to demand their right to make their own decisions & not allow the men in their lives to dictate terms to them,only then will the condition of our women improve.Recommend

“The birth anniversary of legendry pop singer Nazia Hassan was marked on Sunday” seems we will have a AAM TATEEL on her birth anniversary from next year and onwards….

She is a good singer and earn a lot of respect, but the words used in the post is highly unsuitable for the occassion and personality.Recommend

@adnan aziz:
Fully agreeing with all that you said, I would like to further add, that she is the only “brave man” Pakistan had ever seen. Besides a great singer, she was a great philanthropist even at her young age at that time, far advanced in her thinking, pop but virtuous lady. She may be an inspiration for captive Pakistani youths under Zia’s rule, but in India, she was not less a liberator, as she inspired one whole generation to become “disco diwane”. The article has not chronicled her life properly and given a less dignified title.Recommend

Salute to Great Artist !Recommend

The article neatly avoids mentioning BIDDU the music composer whose songs made her popular….. disco devane, aap jaisa koi, boom boom, etc were all Biddu’s songs…..and when Biddu wanted Nazia to sing the song “Made in India” she refused and showed that she wasnt a true artist but a bigoted Pakistani first….thats when Biddu got another golden voice and this time in Alisha Chenoy… I think Indian composers should look within India before trying to look for thankless talent in pakistan…Recommend

Huge fan of her!! Knew all her songs. Was the voice of a generation of Indians (and Pakistanis).Recommend

@Vin:
So if Biddu was a Pakistani man, and Nazia was Indian, and he wanted her to sing a song called “Made in Pakistan”, especially just when the two states just had a nuclear standoff — then that would have been perfectly reasonable for him to ask as well? And it would’ve been unreasonable for the Indian Nazia to not sing that song? I think it would be Pakistani Biddu who would be the one not “rising beyond country and religion” in that case.
Really, “Vin”… why are you even here man? You’d expect that with all the economic and educational growth in India today, Indians would display a little more intellect in these forums than they seem to.Recommend

Indians grow up, out of extremism!!Recommend

Nazia was truly an icon. I grew up around time Disco Deewane was released and still enjoy listening to the album.

She had every right to choose what she wanted to sing what she did not want to. And yes Biddu was instrumental in her attaining the kind of fame which she would not have attained in Pakistan with a Pakistani composer. She was ahead of her time and not only beautiful to look at but a good human being which is a rare combination. If I achieve even a fraction of what she had achieved in her short life then I consider myself very lucky. And Indians are not extremists as India gives a chance to talent from across the border which Pakistan does not.Recommend

@Vin: She was not a bigoted Pakistani…she said that by singing ‘Made in India’ she would not like to hurt some Pakistani’s feelings! She only wanted to avoid any kind of controversy… infact though I am myself an Indian, I feel that Biddu shouldn’t have offered her that song as he knew the relations between the two countries and plus no matter what ‘ If an Indian singer is asked to sing a song-Made in Pakistan..he/she too shouldn’t sing it! Just my personal opinion! But she was a LEGEND! Biddu and Nazia/Zoheb were incomplete without each other!Recommend

She was one of the great lady singer. May Allah place her in Jannah..Recommend
