Komal
Delicate and arty, Komal was what you could call a very unusual film actress of our cinema. Despite her facial and style resemblances with Shamim Ara, she had nothing in common with the famous actress. In fact, if you look at Resham today, she reminds you strongly of the most bubbly, but very choosy actress ...
Charlie
‘Palat Tera dhyan kidhar hai” – it was a typical honk of the champion comic of the pre-Partition Indian cinema.

Chakori
Dusky damsel, Chakori could be called one of the most popular female artists of the mid 1980’s.

It was a time when Aasiya, Naghma, and Aaliya were leaving ...
Bindiya
This sultry beauty was different from her showbiz peers in that before her entry into the serious business of Lollywood, she proved her burgeoning acting mettle on the Lahore commercial stage.

Naseem Bano
It may not ring a bell with young Pakistanis, but Prechehra Naseem Bano’s name will revive septuagenarian’s nostalgic memories of subcontinental cinema’s early magical days.
