Stars are meant to be seen and appreciated from a distance; for if you go too close, you will end up burning yourself as they constantly burn themselves to produce the art they do. I have always believed in this idea and after watching a documentary on the undisputed pop queen of Asia, my belief in this idea has grown even stronger. I have grown up listening to the songs by Nazia Hassan, Zobaib Hassan and Biddu. The songs are a part of my life. They don’t bring back memories; they are memories! Their music is simply timeless and more than anything else, I think it’s because Nazia and Zohaib always stuck to originality and never succumbed to plagiarism even when suggested by some of the biggest names in India film industry. I strongly feel that this is the quality that makes their music timeless, more than anything else.
I am sharing the link of this wonderful documentary made by Ahmad Haseeb from Pakistan, on Nazia Hassan that throws light on many facts about her music and her life that most of us were not aware of. If you have ever hummed to the tune of ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ when it played on the radio, I am sure you will love watching this documentary. People may pass on but true art lives forever. She is a star and we all know, a star once, always a star.
Here is a link to the books I have written (you might find interesting )
