Biography
Noor Jehan was born at Qasur, Pakistan on September 21, 1926. Baby Noor Jehan pursued her early training with Ustad Ghulam Mohammed Khan.
Noor Jehan moved to Calcutta where she became a stage actress at the rather tender age of 6. It was also around that time that Punjabi movie makers, like K.D. Mehra, were looking to staff their Lahore productions with the right kind of people. Mehra can take credit for bringing the stage child of Calcutta to Lahore cinema. During the years 1935-37 Baby Noor Jehan was given bit parts for the child in movies like Ghaibi Gola, probably her first film, Misar Ka Sitara, Aazadi, Nari Raj, Fakhr-i-Islam.
It was Dalsukh M. Panchholi who provided Baby Noor Jehan with her first prominent role as well as a stable job in a series of Punjabi movies. People really took notice of the glamour girl in the Punjabi hit Gul-e-Bakawli (1939). The Punjabi bit parts continued with movies like Heer Sayal, Sassi Punnu, Yamla Jatt, Choudhary.
Director and story writer Shaukat Hussain Rizvi had become a close friend of Mr.Panchholi. He met Noor Jehan, quite possibly on the sets of Gul-e-Bakawli, or soon thereafter… But after Gul-e-Bakawli, there was someone in Noor Jehan’s life. Three years after she had her first break, Shaukat Hussain made his directorial debut with Panchholi Studio’s Khandan (1942) starring Noor Jehan and Ghulam Mohammed with music by Master Ghulam Haider. Khandan was the first big movie in Noor Jehan’s life and It put her name right alongside the blockbuster names of the 1940s.

I've been watching comedies she's in. She's really fun onscreen. And when she does interviews, she laughs just like Janis Joplin.
