Naseem Bano Passes Away
Afzal A. Khan
It is learnt from Indian newspaper reports that Naseem Bano,
famous leading lady of the thirties and forties passed away
in Bandra, Bombay at 11.25 p.m. on the 19th June. May her
soul rest in peace. She was 86. She was the daughter of
Abdul Waheed Khan, Nawab of Hasanpur. Born in Delhi, she
studied in Queen Marys. She had been married to Mr. Mohammed
Ahsan. Saira Bano, the "Beauty Queen" of the sixties is her
daughter. Naseem was Dilip Kumar's mother-in-law. Some three
years back, her mother Shamshad Begum had passed away.
Amongst her notable films, mention should be made of "Pukar",
"Sheesh Mahal", "Anokha Pyaar" etc.

I am confused by the last sentence. Shamshad Begum was who's mother?

Since there are only two possibilities (Dilip Kumar or Naseem Bano), I
think it should be Naseem Bano ;)
This is from http://www.indianmelody.com/shamshadarticle1.htm
Shamshad Begum, the nasal voiced legendary classical and playback singer
of yesteryears died in Mumbai on August 10, 1998. She was nearly a 100
years old. Shamshad Begum was the mother of the silver screen
heart-throb of the black-and-white era Naseem Bano and grandmother of
heroine Saira Bano (wife of Dilip Kumar).

Shamshad Begum, the classical singer, who was Naseem Bano's mother
and Shamshad Begum, the playback singer, are two different women.
Shamshad the classical singer was also known as Chhamia. Do a search
on rmim archives. The mix-up between two Shamshads has been discussed
before. Shamshad Begum, who sang in Khazanchi, CID, et al, is still alive.
AFAIK Shamshad the classical singer never sang for any film.
Naseem Bano did not act in any film named 'Anokha Pyar'.
Afzal sahab probably meant to write 'Anokhi Ada'. Naseem Bano
has sung Hindi film songs, mostly the ones filmed on herself. Was she
ever asked to playback? I doubt it.
Naseem Bano, Naseem Akhtar and Naseem Begum are three different
women. If any periodical doesn't get this correct, just ignore it.

Creativity? Silly jokes? If one posts something to more than one group,
it is netiquette to set "Followup To:" headers.
Note: since it is plain that you read RMIM and I read RAMLI, I haven't
set "Followup To" this time.

I am sorry for that mix-up. Should have spent more time researching
before replying. Thanks for correcting me.

"followup to:" header. At any rate, the solution to that
set-up is a simple one and was duly implemented.

No need to be sorry. If a net resource gets a fact wrong, such mix-ups
are bound to occur. Nobody had stated before you in this thread that the
two Shamshads were different. Even newspapers in India had announced
in August 1998 that the playback singer Shamshad had died. I don't
remember any newspaper having noticed and published the mistake.
Let me quote from Snehal Oza's rmim post, dated 18 aug 1998 :
"Confusion! Shamshad Begum - the singer is alive and is living in Mumbai
(forgot the name of complex). The person who passed away on 10th August
was Shamshad Begum (Bano) - a different person, also related to films and
much senior to singer Shamshad."
Though Snehal had written that Naseem Bano's mother was also related
to films, I believe she was not. So far as I can remember it was Hamraaz
himself who told me that Naseem Bano's mother never sang for films.
Trying to find a sample of her singing should be an interesting exercise.
I will put the question to SIRC folks.

Snehal is correct.
Film - Hamlet (alias khoon kaa khoon) - 1935.
Both Naseem Bano and her mother Shamshad (urf Chhamia) had
acted in this film under Sohrab Modi's direction.
Source - Shirish Kanekar's book, "Yaadon ki baaraat".
There were 17 songs in the film. Geet Kosh has not given any singer
credits. It is anybody's guess whether Chhamia sang in the film.
It looks like Naseem was born between 1915 and 1917.
check - http://www.rediff.com/entertai/2002/jun/19banu.htm
The URL http://www.indianmelody.com/shamshadarticle1.htm
says Chhamia was nearly 100 years old when she died in August 1998.
It makes sense. I have forgotten now how I had come to tentatively
associate the year 1905 with Chhamia's birth. That is, er, unlikely.
When was the more famous Shamshad born? According to O P Nayyar,
Shamshad was 55 when she sang 'kajaraa mahobat wala' in Kismat - 1966?
Nayyar's way with facts is cavalier but for a reference point I have had
to make do with this one so far.

In article <3D1206E8...@yahoo.com>, il_...@yahoo.com says...
That must be 'Anokhi Ada'. She also acted in 'Chanani Raat'..
I am trying to think if she was in any film I have seen.
Did she act as the queen in Sohrab Modi's 'Nausherwan-e-Adil'?
It was a very gracefully rendered role.

The Geet Kosh does say so, and so does the film's video.
Happy listenings.

Alright, here we go again!
Saira Bano's mother was Naseem. Naseem's mother was Shamshad Begum. But
Naseem's mother was not the famous playback singer Shamshad Begum, who is still
alive. Just their names were common.
I think that should make it clear enough.
Happy listenings.
