Charming Jabeen’s two-hour imprisonment

Jabeen

Newcomer Jabeen, who has roles in “Badshah Salamat” and other films, remembers the day she shut herself up in the make-up room for two hours. It was on her very first day in films.

She was working in “Guzara.” She had finished making-up and was ready in less than half an hour. Before going to Producer-director S. M. Yusuf for his okay, she made sure from others that her make-up was all right. Then she went to Mr. Yusuf.

The director, seeing the young actress coming out of the make-up room sooner than he expected, looked worried and he said, “Your make-up is not quite what I want. Improve it.”

Jabeen returned to the make-up man, but was told, “Directors are apt to reject any­thing at first sight. You just stay in your room for some time and then report to Mr. Yusuf. He’ll okay you then.”

So Jabeen shut herself up in the stuffy little make-up room for two hours! But her self-imposed confinement was rewarded.

Producer-director Yusuf promptly okayed her make-up when she reported for duty after the two-hour stretch of boredom! (Source – Filmfare Magazine, 1955)

Question – Can someone confirm if this Jabeen is the same as Jabeen Jalil?
