In
an exclusive interview with the Metro, Zoheb Hassan talks about
his new album Kismet and the new teleplay of the same title.
There are some very attention- grabbing details about his
personal life also.
Where were you lost for so many years?
I wasn't lost; I had been
through a lot, because of Nazia's illness. I was not into music
for quite sometime because music is one of those things that
have to come from heart. I classify myself first as a composer,
musician and producer than as a singer and now I can call myself
an actor.
What
is important for me is to remain focused and in peace that's
where creativity comes to you. It's all the process of
creativity.
I
have been through so much that. Nazia and I were thinking of
doing a new album after Camera-Camera, when she fell ill. We did
a few things, dabbled with a few things and ideas but than she
had to go to London. Nobody else volunteered but I did.
Chemotherapy takes a long time, it's very hard and I did this
for my sister. We went to St. Thomas hospital everyday.
I
went through the entire process and it played on my mind, seeing
my sister deteriorate in front of me and it was a very hard
thing to see.
How
about the arrival back on the music scene? How did it come
about?
With
people telling me to concentrate on my music and also felt to
give went to my feelings so I decided to do it. The relationship
that I had with my sister was very direct and we were very
honest with one another. And before getting into music again I
felt reluctant to use the name of my sister.
Are
you working for United Nations as well?
I
was offered a position there as the Vice President of United
Nations Associations of Pakistan.
I
went to a couple of conferences and attended them but I realized
that I could not do justice to them so I resigned from that
post. But my wife has taken over that position.
