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.
