Sabiha Khanum was arguably one of the most popular actors of the 1950s-1960s. and her pair with her late husband Santosh Kumar was one for the books. She won the Pride of Performance award from the Government of Pakistan in 1986.

Ms Khanum will be accompanied by her granddaughter, Sarish Khan, at the Pakistan Film Festival New York.

"Nani has remained out of the public eye for quite some time now," said Sarish, the current title holder of Miss Pakistan USA. "But it gives her great pride that I'm following my passion as an artist so she didn't want to miss the opportunity to support me and support Pakistani cinema."

Sarish has recently been cast in two Pakistani films, including Ayesha Omar and Ahsan Khan-starrer Rehbra.

I was very little when my parents would take to some of the movies when we were living in East Pakistan. Late Habib sahib , Allaudin and Sabiha begum were my favorites celebrities then. It is so nice to see her in this latest photo.
