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. What a loss😢 pic.twitter.com/Mx00Vijdy5

Haniya wasn’t just a talented musician; she was family to her musical partner, Zeb Bangash. The cousins had a special chemistry that came alive in their enchanting melodies like “Chal Diye,” “Paimona,” and “Bibi Sanam.” 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.
As news of Haniya’s passing spread, an outpouring of love came from all corners. Fellow musicians, industry friends, and devoted listeners from around the world shared their sorrow and celebrated the musical legacy Haniya Aslam left behind.
Tragically, the talented musician from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, #HaniyaAslam, is no longer with us. She began her career alongside her cousin, Zeb Humayun Bangash, and together they became popular both nationally and internationally for their unique and captivtng musical style.
