Pakistani musician Natasha Baig comes from Hunza Valley in the conservative north of the country. She is the first woman to perform on stage in her region. She tells Farah Karim, presenter of BBC Global Beats, how being forced to give up cricket and an innate sense of fairness gave her the strength to defy her critics.
