Sabiha Khanum was one of the simple, dignified actress of her time and have left behind many memories of her expressions of acting in various films which are still liked by the people to watch again and again. The young generation of today may not be knowing about her popularity in the locally made Urdu and Punjabi films which use to be the best films when she was on the peak of her acting. It is nature that with the passage of time like every one the actress Sabiha Khanum also get old and finally left acting. As the clock moves from seconds to minutes and then from hours to days and from months to years, the old artists with the passage of times goes into back ground and the curtain falls finally on acting when new faces are introduced in the film industry. Sabiha Khanum will always be remembered by her fans of yesterday, today and of tomorrow as great actors never die. Sabiha Khanum’s memories will always be remembered in the times to come to compare her acting with new faces.
