Even today Nazia’s songs continue to mesmerise millions of her fans.
Fifteen years ago on this day, Pakistan lost a legend; Nazia Hassan was the epitome of a true star. Dubbed the 'Queen of Pop', Hassan's contribution to Pakistani music was mammoth and she changed the map of the industry for other women and opened doors for females no one thought even existed.

She wasn't any less popular across the border -- Her song Aap Jaisa Koi which she sang at the age of 15 for the Indian film Qurbani (1980) became one of the biggest hits in Bollywood film music and Nazia went on to become the first Pakistani to win a Filmfare award. To this day, she is the youngest recipient of the award from the Best Female Playback Singer category.

Soon after came Disco Deewane, an album in which her brother Zoheb also collaborated on vocals with her.

Fifteen years ago, the beautiful, graceful Nazia lost her battle with cancer at the young age of 35. She may be gone but she is far from forgotten:

Fans from all over the globe acknowledged the impact she made on the fraternity.

Some decided to take a trip down memory lane and listen to some of their favourites.

Heartfelt messages poured in on social media.

But the truly heart-shattering message came from her brother.






It is evident that Hassan lives on in the hearts of millions of people, whose lives she touched with her music.

Oh she had a very unique intense sweet voice but alas she died very young because of dreaded cancer :(. Rest in peace

Her 2 films "Qurbaani" and Star" were roaring hits in India too

She started singing at a very young age. Was part of several TV shows as a child artist.

Nazia was all of fifteen when she did the playback for Zeenat Aman in 'Qurbani'. The song 'Aap Jaisa Koi' became a chartbuster almost instantly.

Nazia's father Basir Hassan was a Karachi based businessman and her mother Munizeh Basir was a well known social worker.

Nazia was a lawyer by education. And also held a degree in Business Administration and Economics at the Richmond American University in London.

Nazia was the first Pakistani to win a Filmfare Award and remains the youngest winner of a Filmfare Award in the category of Best Female Playback Singer to date. She won the award when she was 15 years old.

After the enormous success of 'Aap Jaisa Koi', Nazia collaborated with musician Biddu and released her first private music album thus becoming the first playback singer to release an album in India and Pakistan.

Both Nazia and her brother Zohaib Hassan worked together in the first album 'Disco Deewane'. They both were offered to star in feature films but refused as they wanted to concentrate on their music career.

In 1991, Nazia and her brother Zoheb recorded her fifth album, 'Camera Camera'. Before the album's release, Nazia and Zoheb announced during a launching ceremony that it would be their last album.

In 1991,Nazia joined the Department of Political and Security Council Affairs at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and worked there for two years.

Known for supporting various causes, Nazia created an organization called BAN (Battle against Narcotics) in Karachi to help fight the drugs war. She and her brother Zoheb dedicated their album 'Camera Camera' to BAN and hoped to create drug abuse awareness among the Pakistani youths.
