Theatre owner Diwan Sardari Lal took the small girl to Calcutta in the early 1930s and the entire family moved to Calcutta in hopes of developing the movie careers of Allah Wasai and her older sisters, Eiden Bai and Haider Bandi. Once her vocational training finished, Jehan pursued a career in singing alongside her sister in Lahore, and would usually take part in the live song and dance performances prior to screenings of films in cinemas. He composed some ghazals, na`ats and folk songs for her to perform, although she was keener on breaking into acting or playback singing. Īt the age of nine, Noor Jehan drew the attention of Punjabi musician Ghulam Ahmed Chishti, who would later introduce her to the stage in Lahore. He started her training at age of 11 at Calcutta and instructed her in the traditions of the Patiala Gharana of Hindustani classical music and the classical forms of thumri, dhrupad, and khyal. Realising her potential for singing, her father sent her to receive early training in classical singing under Ustad Ghulam Mohammad.
Jehan began to sing at the age of six and showed a keen interest in a range of styles, including traditional folk and popular theatre. She is also considered to be the first female Pakistani film director. She sang a total of 2,422 songs in 1148 Pakistani films during a career that lasted more than half a century. Īlong with Ahmed Rushdi, she holds the record for having given voice to the largest number of film songs in the history of Pakistani cinema. She had a command of Hindustani classical music as well as other music genres. Considered to be one of the greatest and most influential singers in Indian subcontinent, she was given the honorific title of Malika-e-Tarannum in Pakistan. Her career spanned more than six decades (the 1930s–1990s). Noor Jehan (born Allah Rakhi Wasai 21 September 1926 – 23 December 2000 sometimes spelled Noorjehan), also known by her honorific title Malika-e-Tarannum (the queen of melody), was a Pakistani playback singer and actress who worked first in British India and then in the cinema of Pakistan.
