Tarana and her dances…

Tarana was from Iran and was one of the popular vamps/dancers from 60s/70s Pakistani films. She never made it to the top because of her ‘foreign’ looks, but that did not prevent her from being noticed by some of the Pakistan’s leading political figures. She was briefly involved with Ex-Pakistani President Yahya Khan. She was mostly cast as upper class mod girl or performing western dances in films. She left Pakistan in the late ’70s. Due to the unavailability of majority of old Pakistani films and clips on youtube, I can’t locate some of her better dances. Therefore, I have go with the only dance I can find of hers on youtube.

Noor Jehan sings for Tarana in Yeh Raste Hain Pyar Ke (1972), music by Azam Baig.
