Born in 1965, Nazia Hassan was raised between Karachi and London. Stardom was unanticipated. It was also unlikely. Hassan became the first Pakistani artist to win a Filmfare award for Qurbani. Alongside her brother and regular collaborator, Zoheb, she released the album Disco Deewane (1981), composed by Biddu. The album became a massive hit, adored by people on both sides of the border, in Pakistan and India. The album allegedly sold out on its release in Mumbai. A teenager had transcended identity, somehow found the love of two warring countries that would rather have their stars compete.
