He reveals that his wife passed away about 25 years ago when their daughter was still very young
Veteran Pakistani pop singer Hassan Jahangir recently opened up about a deeply personal tragedy from his life, revealing that he raised his daughter alone after the death of his wife nearly three decades ago.
Known as one of the pioneers of Pakistan’s pop music scene, Hassan Jahangir rose to fame in the 1980s and quickly became a household name with his energetic style and rockstar image. Despite remaining active in the entertainment industry for almost 40 years, the singer has largely kept his personal life out of the public eye.
During a recent appearance on the Ramazan transmission, the singer shared emotional details about his family life and the challenges he faced after losing his wife.
Jahangir revealed that his wife passed away about 25 years ago when their daughter was still very young. The loss was a turning point in his life, forcing him to balance his career with the responsibilities of single parenthood.
The singer shared that although he continued working in music, much of his energy was devoted to raising his child and ensuring she had a stable upbringing. He credited his mother and sisters for playing an important role during that difficult time, helping him care for his daughter while he managed his professional commitments.
Jahangir also revealed that he never remarried after his wife’s passing. Instead, he chose to dedicate himself entirely to raising his daughter, a decision he clearly does not regret, calling his daughter his “lifeline”.
Over the years, his daughter grew up to pursue a successful career of her own. According to the singer, she is now a doctor and currently lives in Sweden after getting married. Photos from her wedding previously circulated on social media, drawing attention from fans who were touched to see the singer celebrating the milestone with his daughter.
Despite the physical distance between them today, Jahangir says the bond they share remains incredibly strong.
Interestingly, the singer shared that his daughter has recently encouraged him to consider marriage again so that he does not feel alone.
