Shamim Bano (also commonly termed 'Shamim' or 'Bano Begum'; 29 July 1920 – 23 October 1984), was a film actress and singer in Indian and Pakistani Cinema.[2] She starred alongside Dilip Kumar in his debut film Jwar Bhata.[note 1] She was the wife of famed Pakistani film director and producer Anwar Kamal Pasha, and thus daughter-in-law of poet, writer and scholar Hakim Ahmad Shuja.[2]
Early life
Shamim Bano was born in Lahore, British India, in 1920 to a family of Pathan farmers and small landowners. Later they settled in the Punjab region but her parents sold most of their patrimony and shifted to Lahore and later Bombay (now Mumbai), soon after the end of the First World War.[3]
Career
Shamim was a successful Indian heroine of the 1940s.[2] She was related to legendary actress and singer Khursheed Bano as well as Meena Kumari. She is remembered for her role as being the co-star of Dilip Kumar in his first film Jwar Bhata (1944).[2][4]
She started her career in the late 1930s with Vishnu Cine's Baghi (1939). Ranjit Movietone's Armaan (1942) was one of the most popular films of her career.[4] Another milestone of her career was Kishore Sahu's Sindoor (1947), which became quite controversial at the time of its release because it dealt with the topic of Hindu widow remarriage.[4] Mehmaan, Sanyasi and Pehle Aap were other notable films of her career.[2][5]
After partition in 1947, she migrated to Pakistan and appeared in few Pakistani films including Shahida (1949) where she was paired with Dilip Kumar's younger brother Nasir Khan, followed by Do Ansoo (1950) which became the first golden jubilee Urdu film of Pakistan.[6][7][2][8]
