Stunned & saddened to hear about the passing of music maestro @haniyaslam of Zeb & Haniya. So much respect for this musician-composer; attended a music workshop with her in dec where she humbled me by lauding my song with Junoon. Beautiful voice silenced too soon.

” Their music touched hearts across borders. In a touching tribute, Zeb took to Instagram on Monday morning, sharing cherished photos of the two. Her simple caption, “Hanini ✨♥️,” spoke volumes about their bond.
The post became a gathering place for grief and remembrance, as artists and fans offered condolences and shared memories. A post shared by Zeb 🎤🎧🎶 (@zebbangash) As new.
