We would request the government to help us with the Urdu screen reader. We don’t have resources for Urdu even on the net. She had gotten recordings done, used multiple ways to achieve her dream.”
Not only that, Aziza is a great singer too and a friend of friends. “Being with her doesn’t make us feel we are with someone special. Our friendship is like any normal person’s.”
