Hadiqa Kiani’s heartfelt tribute to her late mother
Pakistani pop sensation Hadiqa Kiani paid tribute to her late mother Khawar Kiani, reminding the world that some bonds are forever.
Hadiqa Kiani took to her Instagram story to share a deeply emotional message about her late mother, writing that “life will never be the same without you … but you’ll always live in me, my dear mother.”
The heartfelt note reflects the profound love and lifelong bond she shared with her mother.
Hadiqa’s mother, Khawar Kiani, was a poetess and former principal of a government girls’ school in Rawalpindi. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends in 2022, leaving behind a legacy of grace, strength and artistic influence on her daughter’s life.
Hadiqa’s message to her mother resonates deeply with fans who have watched her career and public life evolve. Her tribute underscores not only the loss of a cherished parent but also the lasting emotional and creative imprint her mother left on her life and work.
Fans and fellow artists alike have responded with supportive messages, sharing in Hadiqa’s grief and remembering Khawar Kiani’s contributions to Pakistani arts and education.
Born in Rawalpindi, Hadiqa Kiani rose to fame in the 1990s as one of Pakistan’s most influential female pop singers. Her journey began in childhood and her mother played a vital role in nurturing her early musical talents, enrolling her in Pakistan’s National Council of the Arts and supporting her artistic education.
Her mother also contributed creatively: Khawar wrote the lyrics for some of Kiani’s early hits, such as “Boohey Barian,” which helped propel her to stardom. This unique mother daughter partnership, rooted in trust and artistic collaboration, helped shape Kiani’s career in music and entertainment.
Over the years, Hadiqa Kiani has become more than a pop icon. She is known for her philanthropic work, including her involvement with flood relief and socially inspired projects in Pakistan that reflect values she says were instilled by her family.
