Nazia Hassan, the undisputed Queen of Pop, continues to captivate audiences even decades after her passing. Her legacy remains as influential today as it was during her prime. Pakistan suffered a great loss when she passed away at a young age. Alongside her brother Zohaib Hassan, she formed an iconic musical duo that dominated the South Asian music scene. However, her marriage to businessman Ishtiaq Baig remains a widely debated topic.
Renowned writer Nasir Adeeb recently discussed Nazia Hassan’s marriage in a program, revealing new insights. He shared that while Ishtiaq Baig considered their relationship a love marriage, Nazia always maintained that it was arranged. Her mother supported the union, whereas her father strongly opposed it.
Before her marriage, Nazia was diagnosed with lung cancer, a battle she bravely fought. Doctors had warned her that she might never be able to conceive, but fate had other plans. Defying all odds, she gave birth to a son, marking yet another extraordinary chapter in her life.
