We never had the pleasure to meet her in person. We remember her music was often played at our home and we danced to her music when we were kids at family parties. She and her music were loved by millions of Iranians all over the world. Our thoughts are with her beloved ones.
We will miss her and hope she will rest in peace.
Much Love
