Shabnam – Nadeem
It would be hard to say when Nadeeem first met Shabnam, but the first film he did with her was Suroor Barabankvi’s Tum Mare Ho in 1968. Generally, Nadeem was paired with Shabana, while Rehman was doing movies with Shabnam. There weren’t too many fans of the Nadeem-Shabnam pair in East Pakistan then. Everybody liked ...
Ejaz – Firdous
There were just two occasions in the life of Madam Noor Jehan when she had to keep tabs on her husband Ejaz Durrani!

Darpan seemed more of a heart-less lady killer at first. When you find ...
Sabiha Khanum – Santosh Kumar
A remarkable nobility of looks and manners marked the screen presence of Santosh Kumar. When he met the screen queen of the 1950s, Sabiha, who was known for her vivacity and beauty, it was a rare combination that lit up the screen. They first worked together in the first film Santosh did in Pakistan, which ...
Noor Jehan – Aslam Pervaiz
The prince ruled the dreamy kingdom of the films, and the nightingale sang on till the day she was weighed down with the eternal sleep. The word will remember Aslam Parveiz as the villain in flannelled slacks and a top hat perched soberly on the forehead. But the man started off as the Prince charming ...
