Singer : KhursheedBano
Khursheed Bano (April 14, 1914 - April 18, 2001) was an Pakistani singer & actress, and a pioneer of the Indian cinema.Her career ran through the 1930s and 1940s.

She was born Irshad Begum in the village of Choonian Distt, Lahore (in British India, later Pakistan).

Khursheed Bano started her film career as Shehla in the silent film "Eye For An Eye" (1931) the year when the first talkie film (Alamara) of the sub-continent was released.Some of the films that were released during these phase were Laila Majnu, and Shakuntla in 1931, Chatra Bakavli, Hatili Dulhan, Muflis Aashiq, Radheshyam in 1932, Naklee Doctor in 1933, Suarag ki Serhi, Bomb Shell, Chiragh-e-Husn, and Mirza Sahiban in 1935. Ailan-e-Jang, Kimiagar in 1936. Iman Farosh in 1937, Madhur Milan in 1938. Murad, Kaun kisi ka and Sitara in 1939.

She worked in a lot of films like Bhagat Surdas, Holi, Chandani, Musafir, Aage Badho, Moorti and Mumtaz Mahal, the film that was landmark in her career and made her name immortal was Tansen (1943) with K.L Saigal, where she played the character of Tani. Tansen is one of the most significant scores of that era and still remembered for songs like Diya Jalaao, More Baalpan ke saathi, Ghata Ghanghor Machaave Shor.

Her last film in India was Papeeha Re (1948), which was a great hit, prior to her migration to Pakistan, leaving her mark in the Indian film industry. Khursheed migrated to Pakistan after the Partition of India, with her husband and manager Lala Yakub, who was an occasional actor and member of the Bhati Gate Group, Lahore, where she settled down in Karachi, Sind, Pakistan.

She was among the two singing actresses of Mumbai Film-world who have shared stellar honors with the renowned singer K.L. Saigol. Surraiya, another popular singer/actress of the fortys and fiftys remains the only one now.

Listen to this beautiful song from Pardesi (1941) composed by Khemchand Ji which was a big big hit in those days.... Pahle Jo Muhabbat Se (Pardesi 1941)

Two developements caused a downfall in Khursheeds career.. The arrival of Noorjehan who dethroned Khursheed from the top spot and later the Partition, which made her to opt Pakistan as her residence and left India forever. She did a few films in Pakistan in mid 50s but could never attain the heights of early forties

Beautiful singer Khursheed bano died on April 18, 2001 in Karachi, four days after her 87th birthday.

Khursheed has created a magical effect with her control and range. This has to be amongst the top two songs sung by any female in the Indian films. Pure magic.

Such artists are basics of music ,people who do not know the basics of maths like 2+2 = 4 and ABC in English the language . Its the same in Music if you do not know who KHURSHEED BEGAM JEE , you failed in music right there.

[Milahi1935]

Khursheed has made this song immortal. She has given it the high notes along with the moorkian. Only complaint is that the song is too short and she should have been asked to end with taking her voice up up and away to the fourth octave. Khursheed is probably one of two female singers who could take her voice up to the fourth octave. The composers of music could not blend high notes very well and could not utilize this unique gift given to Khursheed by God.

Many thanks ! I heard this song after sooooo many years.In those days, khurshid banu sahiba was a singing heart of undivided subcontinent .

@jasiddiqi She is not Khurshid, the elder sister of Meena Kumari ( Mahjabeen Bano). She is actress Khurshid Bano ( real name Irshad Begum). She looks like Meena Kumari though. It appears Meena Kumari tried to copy Khurshid Bano' style of acting during early days of her career. Khurshid Bano was born at Chunian, a town near Lahore on 14-4-1914. After 1947 she left for Pakistan and settled in Karachi. She married a rich businessman and lived a prosperous life until her death on 18-4-2001.
