said that she would rather die than live with Ishtiaq Baig as he caused her more pain than cancer. Marriage to Nazia was Ishtiaq Baig's third. He has a son Imran Baig (Born in 1984) with his first wife Hazel who was a Filipina dancer. Ishtiaq Baig was also briefly married to Pakistani actress Shazia which ended due to Baig's mental health. These two marriages were kept secret from Nazia Hassan's family. Ishtiaq and Nazia Hassan had a son, Arez Hassan, born on 7 April 1997.
