A singer of class. A very sober person she was. May Allah bestow his mercy upon her and may her soul rest in peace.

Rest In Peace and Allah bless you for all that you did to entertain South-Asians during your short life.
She had a won a wonderful voice. Her film songs were brilliant. Very sad news.
sad news but i think she never married
You’ve got problem with that? Isn’t that personal? We Pakistanis are so good at passing judgement without knowing full facts.
She was a great singer- God bestow upon her blessing and place in Jinat-ul-Firdous Ameen
