The news of Hania’s death left the music community in deep shock and grief not only in Pakistan but also in the neighboring country of India. Prominent figures including Indian music composer and singer Swanand Karkere expressed their grief in online messages.
Karkire shared screenshots of their final conversation, which showed the profound impact Hania had on those around her.
In a June 2020 interview with the contemporary magazine Yulein, Hania said that she did not know whether ‘I started following music or music started following me. I have always loved music, almost to the point of obsession. I vaguely remember wondering how all the musicians fit inside the cassette when I was 4 or 5 years old. ‘
He said he started learning the guitar and tried to write songs during his undergraduate degree. In 2001 the song ‘Chip’ which I sang with my cousin Zeb (Bangish) went viral, which led to a long term collaboration with Zeb. We recorded our album with the best musicians of Pakistan, traveled, worked with Rohail Hayat and AR Rahman.’
