She has been away from the media/public arena since seventies. Her singing career started tapering off in mid fifties with her singing her last song probably around 1971 although some songs continued to release as late as 1981. She was undoubtedly the biggest playback singer during her active period at a time when actress-singers like Noor Jehan, Khursheed and Suraiyya were extremely popular. Her major output was in the forties with the mid fifties seeing a gradual decline in output. Her style of singing was unique and was loved by millions all over the world. Legendary singer, Shamshad Begum ji was the dominating singer in the 1940s and is one of the few artists today who were singing even in the 1930s. ![]() Thanks a lot to Abhay ji and Radio Dil Team for sharing this interview with us.
