On the other hand, her parents found a prospect for her named Johar Ali Khan and she agreed to marry him. Sure, at first their financial conditions were not grand, but as time passed, things started to look better. Not only Mr. Johar supported Nigar at every step, but he also made sure to be there for her whenever she needed him; when her parents and sister passed away in a road accident, and when she spent long hours treating terrorist attack patients.

However, Mr. Johar’s health deteriorated and he passed away. He was not there to throw another party when Nigar became a General. She came to the house, all alone, with no parents, no husband, no family. Apart from Lt. Gen. Nigar’s determination and patriotism, her countless sacrifices have also acted together to help her achieve all this success.
