In 1918, a young family with a 2-year-old daughter was returning to their homeland from Iran. On the ship, the girl's father, Karbalai Jahangir Zeynalov, died.  Nasiba endured many hardships.  Once, her father owned a 40-room house. Upon return, she lived in a small room under the attic, from which she was eventually evicted.  She played in Hajibeyov’s classical operettas, including "Husband and Wife", "Arshin Mal Alan" and "Not that one, so this one."  Having a wonderful sense of humor, Nasiba Zeynalova was most successful in comedic roles.  This podcast was created on Azerbaijani donations.
