No Wrongdoing Promise Helped Humaira Arshad Get Permission for Singing Career

Pakistani playback singer Humaira Arshad has revealed that she was only allowed to pursue singing after assuring her parents she would never do anything wrong. Speaking in a recent podcast, the former music star shared emotional details about the struggles she faced at the start of her career.

Humaira said she had a passion for singing from a young age. She was fortunate to learn from legends like Madam Noor Jehan and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. She first met Noor Jehan at Nusrat’s residence, where Noor Jehan even offered to take her as a student. Surprisingly, Humaira turned down the offer because she wanted to train under Nusrat instead. This refusal upset Noor Jehan, who told her not to sing any songs prepared by her.

Despite offers for roles in films and dramas, Humaira never had an interest in acting. She focused entirely on playback singing, recording songs for dozens of films over the years. She described herself as a private person who prefers solitude and enjoys watching crime investigation programs to learn new things.

However, her journey into music was far from smooth. Humaira disclosed that her father, a strict man, was so upset with her choice to sing that he left home. Some relatives even cut ties with the family. To resolve the conflict, she approached her father’s spiritual guide, requesting him to speak to her father on her behalf.

It was only after this meeting and Humaira’s clear promise not to engage in any wrongdoing that her father allowed her to sing. She assured her parents she would never do anything to bring shame to the family name. With this understanding, they finally agreed to let her follow her dream..
