A 14-year-old British Pakistani girl, who lost sight at the age of 10, is hoping to make it to the finals of the popular show on ITV's famous hit show - Britain's Got Talent.
Sirin Jahnagir, the only Pakistani-origin contestant on the hit show, is the granddaughter of Sahibzada Jahangir, who currently works as a spokesman for Prime Minister Imran Khan on trade and investment in the UK and Europe. Fauzia Kasuri is Sirin's aunt and her uncle Junaid Jamshed, the late pop and nasheed singer.
Cyron has become an instant hit after outpacing his rivals through his amazing musical performances - and winning approval from judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams.
Sirin was born in 2005 in London. By the age of five, she excelled in everything including dance, with dance being her favorite pastime. Her family found out that when Cyrine was five years old, she had lost her eyesight completely in one eye and although the other eye was perfect, there was a danger that could worsen.
Over time, the family's worst apprehensions were realized as Siraine slowly lost her remaining good eye, until she was 10 years old.
A family friend quoted media sources as saying that those 5 years were very painful for Siraine as she could not do many things and gradually she learned Braille and started reading books again. His parents and family were in full support at this time and helped Siraine, who wanted to make it big in the world.
Her parents had to move to Mill Hill in North London when she arrived at the age of 12, as there were no secondary schools in central London that could meet her special needs. In her new school, Siren had access to expertise, which helped her learn other skills. It was around this time that she was engrossed in music. He learned to play the piano by himself and began to sing and write music.
Sirin never looked back and his passion took him to Britain's Got Talent after a grueling selection process. Sirin will make an appearance in the audition stages of Britain's Got Talent on ITV on Saturday.
When contacted by the media, Sahibzada Jahangir confirmed that Sirin would appear before the celebrity panel.
He stated, 'We're all very proud of her achievements she is very hardworking and ambitious when someone has a disability, Allah gifts that person with some other extraordinary talent. Sirines parents have been exceptional in bringing her and giving her everything they need. She acts as a charity and helps others. She is very grateful to Allah for what she has achieved and for the blessings in her life.'
Siraine's father, Kafeel Jahangir, told the media that Siraine taught himself to write, write and play music.
'We are all very proud of Sirine. Music is his passion and Britain will give him the right platform to share his music with others. He is very excited. He himself auditioned for BGT. One day he asked me to come with him. I went along and was surprised that he was performing before 3,000 people. He taught himself to play music.'
Kafeel said that during his visits to Britain, the late Junaid used to sing with Jamshed Siraine and teach him about music.
Siraine uses her music and story to inspire people with disabilities. Every Monday she attends a school and teaches a 6-year-old child, who is in the same condition as her, and teaches her Braille and convinces her that she can do anything, looking at the future.
