Shahid
His career spanned a mere decade, from 1973-1983. But female hearts fluttered aplenty during those ten eventful years! Shahid was the Don Juan of the Pakistani film industry during the 1970s. Like the quintessential star of that era, his off camera antics were almost as interesting as his reel life. He married four times. Three ...
Nighat Sultana
Characters that are born on the celluloid breathe amongst people. Otherwise, they die young! If you have watched Hasan Tariq’s classic, Neend, from 1959, you would have noticed a young prostitute in the scenes from the coalminer’s colony, who sings merrily along the littered streets, to the refrains of the famous song by Rasheed Attre, ...
Nasima Khan
The dreamy vision of the 1950s and the 1960s was something that truly inspired artistes to venture forth into the fold. They came from all walks of life, not just the bazaar, as is the case today. Nayyar Sultana, Jamila Razzaq, Shamim Bano and Najma all belonged to the middle-class and upper middle-class, respectable families; ...
Mahpara
Flamboyant girls in printed fabrics have been more than a few in every industry. And Lollywood has had its share of them, too. Amongst those, Mahpara was a prominent addition in the mid- ‘60s, who was a dusky damsel of delightful proportion! Mahapara was fortunate to enter the foray during the golden period of Lollywood, ...
Meena Chaudhary
Song and dance is the part and parcel of cinema. All pretty young things come to the industry with the wish to, sooner or later, do the lead role in the films. So was the case with Meena Chaudhary, a sweet starlet with a fondness for pirouettes. When she walked into the iron gates of ...

Rana’s Sohni (1955). Her dances were considered as the necessary ingredients of many Pakistani Films. Her best performances as a dancer were in Baji (1963), Dosheeza ...
Rozina
Rozina’s very name illicit strange ambiguity. Was the name and career posited for top heroine doom; supporting role mediocrity; vamp role status; western slapstick side parts; or eastern demureness? Actually Rozina’s movie career encompassed all of these cinematic spheres but never reached any great heights per se. Her screen persona was all bubbles and effervescence ...
Nazli
Loking objectively at this shot from the 80s farce Dollar man, which may or may not have been influenced by the occidental show ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’, one wonders how this look worn by B-actress Nazli ever got past the censors. Although the actress’ face is typically eastern; with flawless well arched brows, kohled ...
Allaudin
Allaudin, one of the most versatile character-actors of Pakistani Film industry, began his career in undivided India.
