Early life and Career

Nazia Hassan was born in Karachi, Pakistan and from an early age showed interest in music.[2] Nazia's professional career started at the age of fifteen when she provided the lead vocals for the song Aap Jaisa Koi from a Bollywood film titled Qurbani (1980), by Indian producer-director Feroz Khan. Nazia was introduced to Feroz by his friend in the United Kingdom The song was a huge success in India and despite Nazia being a Pakistani, she gained overnight fame there.[3]
She then collaborated with Biddu, a UK-based Indian music producer who was also the composer of Aap Jaisa Koi, on numerous other projects. Biddu had previously made several hit-songs for various singers like Tina Charles and Carl Douglas. In 1981, Biddu released Nazia's first mega-hit, Disco Deewane. The album broke record sales in Pakistan and India and even topped the charts in the West Indies, Latin America and Russia. Her later albums also had vocals of her brother, Zoheb Hassan. These included Star/Boom Boom (1982), Young Tarang (1984), Hotline (1987), and Camera Camera (1992). Nazia and Zoheb appeared with music maestro Sohail Rana's Pakistani television program for children, "Sung Sung". In 1988, Nazia and Zoheb also hosted the groundbreaking show Music '89 produced by Shoaib Mansoor.
After the huge success of their music, selling millions of albums worldwide, EMI Music International also Nazia and Zoheb, making them as the first South Asian artists to be signed by an international music label.
Nazia and Zoheb's television interviews were shown on TV in India, Pakistan, Dubai, UK (big names like David Soul, David Essex, Zia Mohiuddin conducted the interviews on BBC, ITV, Channel 4 etc) and many other countries.
'Made in India' controversy

In early-1990s, Indian composer Biddu, with whom Nazia had collaborated on numerous projects, composed a song titled "Made in India" and wanted Nazia to provide lead vocals for it. However, Nazia turned the offer down. She told song-writer and music director Biddu that she could not bring herself to sing something that was likely to offend Pakistanis. Despite Nazia being a Pakistani, she was able to gain immense popularity in India too and was also a recipient of the prestigious Filmfare Award.
The song was eventually offered to Indian singer Alisha Chinai. The song was a huge success and is considered to mark the beginning of the era of Indipop

I think she is the most beautiful woman in the world than any other woman including princess Diana,Grace Kelly,Sakira,........She is a dedicated singer...innocent faced,modest, gorgeous and all good things usually surrounding her all the time....then sometimes in the way of coloured soil away from home or floating by a boat on the restless Padma ... trying to find you.....the golden girl from golden country dont lost away for ever.........
