Early life
Parveen was born at Daccapatty in Nagaon city, Assam, India to Ikramul Mazid of Afghanistan and Maroofa Begum of Iran.[citation needed] Parveen's grandparents were from Afghanistan but later immigrated to Iran.[citation needed] She went to Mission School. One day while watching her humming in Ikramul's lap, Maroofa noticed daughter Parveen's talent and asked her husband to teach her. Parveen's father was her first guru and was very strict with her, permitting her to only listen to Lata Mangeshkar and established Indian Classical vocalists. She also received some early training from her grandfather Mohammed Najeef Khan, a Pathan. On her father's suggestion, she later learned music from Chinmoy Lahiri of Bengal. Parveen met her next guru and future husband Dilshad Khan one day while he visited Chinmoy Lahiri's home. He later accepted her as his disciple. Parveen sang her first duet and muat (jugalbandi) with Dilshad Khan at Jashn Festival concert in Afghanistan.
