A highly educated lady, Kishwar Begum was introduced
by Anwar
Kemal Pasha as Bahar in Punjabi film Chann
Mahi. It would be very interesting to know that how Anwar Kemal
Pasha gave the name
Bahar to Kishwer who introduced her in film
Chan Mahi (1956). Anwar Kemal was found of to play and participate in Race. In
those days when Anwar Kamal Pasha selected Kishwar (Bahar) for his film Chan
Mahi in Karachi, his favourite mare named Bahar won the race and he got a lot
of many consequently. So, Anwar Kamal was very happy and suggested Kishwer's
filmi name Bahar. (by Mohammed Ayub Qureshi, Saudi Arabia) |

Meena Shori
Heroine
First film: Miss 56 (1956)
Last film: Nishan (1979)
She was born in Raiwind near Lahore in a rural and poor
family. She was totally illeterate girl and jumped to Bombay in late 30's and
became silver screen temptress and happiest girl in the Indian filmdom from 40's & 50's. Sohrab
Modi gave her chance in Sikandar (1941) that was an all India
hit and there was no looking back for Meena. She worked in Indian films from
Sikandar (1941) thru Shrimati (1956) and then moved to Pakistan and worked here
in films till late 70's.
Eik Thi Larki (1949) made by her husband Roop

very popular and became a street song of those days.
Meena got married with R.K. Shorie, Zahoor Raja, Al-Nasir,
Raza Mir and lastly Asad Bokhari but at the last and final part of her life story
that was also too painful to be real. No one from them was around her and
she also had no issue from them.
A bright star in glaxy of filmdom in 40's and 50's was reduced to extremely destitude
living by the end her life before the death in 1989. In late 80's when she was
seriously sick having no money for treatment, former Prime Minister Nawaz
Shareefhelped her out and one time late Mohammed
Ali also gave her moral support when she had stood up in a function
begging for charity money to  marry
off her sister's daughters. Once she told that she felt like a dried up tree
in a grove of green saplings that everyone is out to chop down and burn. It is
said that her burial was arranged with charity money.
