Junaid Jamshed’s Son Opens Up About His Father’s Marriages and Personal Life

Islamabad:Babar Junaid Jamshed, the son of the late renowned singer-turned-preacher Junaid Jamshed, recently discussed his father’s personal life, including his marriages, in a podcast. Junaid Jamshed, who famously left the music industry for religious work, had three marriages during his lifetime.

Speaking candidly on the podcast, Babar revealed that in addition to his mother, Junaid Jamshed had two other wives, one of whom tragically passed away in the same plane crash that claimed his life. Babar also shared that he and his three siblings had no half-siblings from his father’s other wives.

Reflecting on his father’s life, Babar recalled a conversation in which Junaid Jamshed asked him, “People say your father has had multiple marriages, but tell me, have I ever been unfair to you children?” To which Babar replied, “No, you have always fulfilled your responsibilities and showered us with love.” His father was reportedly content with the answer.

Junaid Jamshed tragically died in a plane crash on December 7, 2016, while traveling from Chitral to Islamabad with his wife after a religious tour. He was 52 years old at the time of his death.

Junaid Jamshed, who first gained fame as the lead vocalist of the popular Pakistani band *Vital Signs*, was known for his hit song *Dil Dil Pakistan*, which made him a national icon. The band, often compared to the Pakistani version of *Pink Floyd*, earned immense popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Junaid Jamshed later left his music career behind and turned to religious work, dedicating himself to preaching and singing hymns and naats.

His life story, marked by both his musical achievements and his religious transformation, continues to inspire millions in Pakistan and beyond.
