इंडियन सिनेमा की सबसे खूबसूरत एक्ट्रेस, जिन्हें देख ढल जाता था चांद-सूरज, ये है सायरा बानो की मां

When the actresses like Swarnalata, Mumtaz Shanti and Nur Jahan were dominated in Hindi cinema, Naseem’s glow did not fade. Was wonderful. This was mentioned by litterateur, novelist Saadat Hasan Manto in one of his compositions.

She wrote in praise of Naseem, “In those days, Nasim Bano was one of the actresses, who was very famous. There was a lot of discussion of beauty. In the advertisements, I was called ‘Pari Dakhin Nasim’. I saw many photos of her in my own newspaper. There were happy shapes, were young. Especially the eyes were very proud and when the eyes were proud, the whole face becomes proud.”

Music composer Naushad gave him the nickname ‘Pari-Chahra’, which became a symbol of his beauty and aura. Veterans like Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan called her the most beautiful actress of Indian cinema.

Dilip Kumar’s mother -in -law’s mother

His daughter and beautiful actress Saira Bano of the past said, “Her beauty was not limited to the face. She was also reflected in her tradition.”

The story of Naseem Bano is not only that of an actress, but of a woman who broke the stereotypes of her time and left an indelible mark in Indian cinema.

Wanted the doctor

Naseem Bano was born in a family in the form of Roshan Ara Begum, where there were deep roots of art and music. His mother Chamian Bai, also known as Shamshad Begum, was a famous singer and tawaif of that era. Nasim was raised in Delhi, where she studied in Queen Mary High School. His mother wanted him to become a doctor, but Nasim’s heart resided in cinema, and his heartbeat was beating for him.

Actress Sulochana’s fan Naseem’s dream was to shine on the big screen too. The converting this dream into reality began when Sohrab Modi chose him to act in his film ‘Khoon Ka Khoon’ during a visit to Bombay. However, Naseem’s mother did not want her dear to step into the world of acting. Despite the mother’s opposition, Nasim obtained permission by taking a hunger strike, and thus her cinematic journey started.

Actress made of call

Naseem’s real identity was made from Sohrab Modi’s film ‘Pukar’ in 1939, in which he played the role of Maharani Nur Jahan. The effect of this film was so deep that the audience entered the cinema hall by taking off shoes, as if they were stepping into the Mughal court.

Naseem made big experiments in his career. He revolutionized the fields of cinematic fashion and makeup. For daughter Saira Bano’s first film Junglee (1961), Naseem paid special attention to costume design, which set new fashion standards in Indian cinema. His talent became the identity of Saira’s career.

Saira’s success is also mother

Saira Bano credits her success to her mother. Often, we narrate Ammi’s stories on social media platforms. He told, “Whatever success I achieved is the result of their hard work and sacrifices.” Saira says, “She was not just a mother, but a person who gave me the purpose of moving forward in life and looted immense love.”

Naseem’s personal life was also inspiring. He married his childhood friend, architect Mian Ehsan-ul-Haq and started the Taj Mahal Pictures Banner. They had two children, Saira Bano and Sultan Ahmed. After partition, her husband decided to go to Pakistan, but Naseem stayed in India with her children. He taught Saira and Sultan in London, but kept them connected to Indian culture and roots. He spent every summer holidays in Bombay or Delhi, where the children joined their heritage.

Last breath took in Mumbai

Naseem’s career lasted until the 1950s. He enriched the cinema not only with his acting but also with his simplicity, hard work and new experiment. On 18 June 2002, he died in Mumbai at the age of 85, but the heritage is still alive in Hindi cinema.
