Nazia and Zoheb

Nazia and Zoheb (Urdu: نازیہ اور زوہیب) were a Pakistani pop duo from Karachi, Sindh formed in the 1980.

[1][2] They are often credited with contributing to the growth of the Pakistani pop scene and achieved significant commercial success, selling more than 105 million albums worldwide.

[3][4] The duo initially gained prominence with their single "Aap Jaisa Koi," which was first featured as the soundtrack for the 1980 Indian film Qurbani.

Nazia and Zoheb released their fourth hit album, Hotline in 1987, which featured the duo's younger sister, Zahra Hassan.

However, it did not achieve the same level of success as their previous albums, as Nazia fell severely ill, preventing them from promoting the CD.

In 1976, Nazia and Zoheb both made a cameo appearance in the Pakistani film Beyond the Last Mountain as extras in a musical scene.

Nazia's professional career started at the age of fifteen, when she provided lead vocals for the song "Aap Jaisa Koi" from the 1980 film Qurbani.

Nazia was introduced to the film's director, Feroz Khan, by his friend Biddu, an Indian music producer based in the United Kingdom.

After the success of "Aap Jaisa Koi", Qurbani became a big hit, and Nazia once again collaborated with Biddu and her brother, Zoheb.

The album broke record sales in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, South Africa and even topped the charts in the West Indies, Latin America and Russia.

After the release of "Disco Deewane", Nazia and Zoheb were offered the chance to act in a movie by Biddu, but they declined, preferring to focus on their music career.

But early Sunday morning, her mother, Muneeza, was called to the hospital as her daughter had started coughing heavily.

On Saturday, 9 March 2002, Zoheb Hassan organised a tribute concert for his late sister Nazia at the Gymkhana Cricket Ground.

The award was presented to Muniza Basir, Nazia's mother, by the President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf in an official ceremony held in Islamabad.

Zoheb Hassan acted in the drama serial "Kismat" in 2006 and released his solo album of the same title.
