The multi-talented and extremely beautiful Zarina Agha, mother of Salma Agha
Zarina Agha went by the film name Nasreen when she started acting in pre-partition India. She was the daughter of celebrated musician and actor Rafiq Ghaznavi and actress Anwari Begum, but the marriage did not last long and Anwari Begum got married again to Jugal Kishore Mehra (related to Raj Kapoor’s family) who changed his name to Ahmad Salman and formally adopted Zarina.
Not only was she a beautiful actress but she also composed music and was a lyric writer. If you check out some Ghazal albums of Salma Agha who will see Zarina Agha credited for most of the songs as lyric writer and composer.
To top it off it’s evident that Salma Agha’s immense singing talent came from her mother. She was adept in singing classical and folk. Here I am sharing one song in #Punjabi folk style that she recorded in #Pakistan.
In the video I have inserted clips from her film Shahjehan (1946) in which she starred with K. L. Saigal and yesteryears actress Ragini.
The last photo is courtesy of Salma Agha who shared it on her Instagram. I simply edited the photo to enhance the quality and add a touch of colour.
