Noor Jehan

She was subtlety and fearless. The bold make-up and dresses made her look different, yet she still managed to look elegant. She not only limited herself as playback singer, but she proved to be a great actress too. She blew life into the works of poets and a lot of Lollywood films for over thirty-five years. Her magnificent performances get her the prestigious President’s award in 1957, which she deserved very well. Many tried to copy her style but have failed terribly. Her feminine quivering lip, shiny satin saris coupled with contrasting scarves around neck and voluminous hairstyles.
