Singing Career

  • Born as Allah Rakhi Vasai, she became the center of attention at the age of five by singing on stage. She received her early musical education from Kajan Begum, a famous singer of that time. At that time, she practiced Riyadh for about twelve hours. Later, she also learned to sing regularly from her teacher Ghulam Ali Khan. Melody Queen Noor Jahan, who began her career as Baby Noor Jahan, recorded nearly 10,000 songs in her film career, including songs in Punjabi, Pashto, Urdu-Hindi, and Sindhi.
  • Surprisingly, about 3,000 of these songs were recorded by renowned composer Wajahat Attar. This girl of Madad Ali and Fateh Bibi entered the world of art from a very young age. Noor Jahan’s parents were also musicians, but Noor was the most unique of their twelve children. She was particularly interested in Indian music, and in a short time, she had command on genres like Thamri, Dadra, and Khayal. 
  • Early in her career, Noor was impressed by Agha Hashar Kashmiri’s Begum singer Mukhtar Begum. Seeing the talent in her, Mukhtar Begum also got her and her sisters to work in the theater of her playwright husband, Agha Hashar Kashmiri. This close relationship also nurtured Noor Jahan’s art and personality. In the early years, she started wearing Saree, but later, she adopted such a unique style that Pakistan began to adopt her style all over the world, even in the form of parody.
