Born Suraiya Jamaal Sheikh
June 15, 1929 (1929-06-15) (age 79)
Gujranwala, Punjab, now Pakistan
Died January 31, 2004 (aged 75)

Suraiya Jamaal Sheikh (June 15, 1929 - January 31, 2004) was a singer and actress in Indian films, and was popularly known as Suraiya in the film industry. She became a superstar in the 1940s and 50s during the time when actors sang their own songs. IF SHANTA APTE brought spontaneity and refreshing directness in her singing and song-delivery style, Suraiya marked a completely dif­ferent but equally important breakaway from tradition. Born Suraiya Jamal Sheikh in Lahore, she introduced the typical 'adakari' of North Indian Muslims into Hindi films. Expertly combining gestures, music, speech and eloquent eyes, she paved the way for later hearthrobs like Rekha and Madhuri Dixit with her bewitching song delivery. Alhough Noorjehan and Khurshid also brought the same Muslim adakari onscreen with their films, it was Suraiya who shone out as the epitome of that style. Save for her arresting, almond-shaped eyes, Suraiya was not a classic beauty; nor did she trained in classical music. Suraiya , the lovely melody queen created aura with her popular numbers like 'tu mera chaand, main teri chandani' ,'dil-e-nadan, tujhe hua kya hai' and 'woh paas rahe ya door rahe' . Her sultry looks and al­luring eyes matched her melodious voice and distinc­tive style to make her one of the greatest feminine icons of her time, attracting a gen­eration of young women who sought to emulate her and young men who mooned for her.

Early life

Suraiya was born in Gujranwala, Punjab now in Pakistan and was the only child of her parents. She was a dark plain looking girl and was not trained in music, however she went on to become a successful actress and singer.

She had been educated in New Girls' High School in Bombay. Simultaneously she was given religious teachings in Persian at home.

Career

Like many leading ladies of the past, Suraiya's entry into the world of movies was more accidental, than otherwise

Suraiya made her debut as a child artist in Usne Kya Socha (1937). Her films as a child artist ran between 1937 and 1941. She got a break in films with the help of her uncle Zahoor, who was a popular villain of his time. In 1941 during a holiday from school, she accompanied her uncle to Mohan Studios to see the shooting of the film Taj Mahal (1941), a film by Nanubhai Vakil. Vakil noticed the 12-year old girl and chose her to play the role of a young Mumtaz Mahal as they had nobody else to play the role. During her school days she used to participate in "Children Program" on Radio along with Shammi and Rajkapoor. She could sing some popular songs of that time with melody and fidelity . Naushad had heard her voice on the All India Radio where she sang for a children's programme at the insistence of friend Raj Kapoor and neighbour Madan Mohan. From radio, Suraiya moved on to playback singing -- App.reciating her singing talent, a song "Boot karun mein polish" was recorded in her voice by Naushad Sahib in 1942 for the film "Nai-Dunia". In the same year she performed a role in film "Station Master" Other films of her playback singing with music by Naushad Sahib were "Sharda" (Punchi Ja- pechey raha hae bachpan mera), "Qanoon" and "Sanjog"Her singing career soon found a mentor in music maestro Naushad chose her to sing as a 13 year old for Mehtaab in Kardar's Sharda (1942). Suraiya had to stand on a stool to reach the mike to croon Panchi ja, picturised on the much-older heroine, Mehtaab.
She was effectively launched as a singing star in Bombay Talkies Humaari Baat (1943).

She initially started by playing secondary roles in films like K. Asif's Phool (1944) but She made her presence felt in perhaps India's first multi-starrer, played strong supporting second lead roles to Noorjehan in Mehboob Khan's Anmol Ghadi (1946) and Munawar Sultana in Dard (1947). Suraiya had her moments with Socha Tha Kya, Main Dil Mein Dard Basa La Aayee and Man Leta Hai. She got the break as a heroine for the movie Tadbir (1945) at the recommendation of K. L. Saigal who liked her voice during a rehearsal. She went on to co-star with Saigal for two more films Omar Khayyam (1946) and Parwana (1947). More opportunities appeared for Suraiya after reigning actresses Noor Jehan and Khursheed Bano migrated to Pakistan during the 1947 partition. the last remembered for her haunting rendition of Jab Tumhi Nahin Apne.Her pairing with the then superstar Dev Anand was a huge hit and the two went on to star in many successful movies together - Afsar, Shayar and Jeet etal.

Nadira, who later costarred with Suraiya in Waris, says, "My father went repeatedly to the theatre to watch Suraiya sing Socha tha kya. He would walk out the moment the song ended."

Suraiya had an edge over her contemporaries Kamini Kaushal and Nargis because she could sing her own songs. The years 1948-49 were the best of her career - The 1948-49 phase saw her rise to her peak. After three hits Pyar Ki Jeet (1948), Badi Bahen and Dillagi (1949), she became the highest paid female star. At her peak, Suraiya generated hysteria comparable only to Rajesh Khanna in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Shop owners would down their shutters to see her starrers on the first day itself, crowds would throng outside her residence at Marine Drive in Bombay just to get a glimpse of her and actor Dharmendra recalls going to see Dillagi 40 times! Her songs from the above films Tere Nainon Ne Chori Kiya, O Door Jaanewaale (Pyar ki Jeet), Woh Paas Rahe Ya Door Rahe, O Likhnewaale Ne, Bigdi Bananewaale (Badi Bahen) and Tu Mera Chand, Murliwaale Murli Bajaa (Dillagi) were hummed in every nook and corner of the country. Her reign at the top was brief and her films started flopping in the 1950s. She made a comeback with Waaris and Mirza Ghalib (1954) in which she played the role of the married Ghalib's lover.She made a short-lived comeback with Waaris (1954) and Mirza Ghalib (1954). The latter saw her finest dramatic performance as she made alive and vivid the role of the married Ghalib's lover, a courtesan. Ghalib also saw some of her finest singing - Aah ko Chaihiye Ek Umar, Nuktacheen Hai Gham-e-Dil, Dil-e-Nadaan Tujhe Hua Kya Hai, Yeh Na Thi Humari Kismet etc. Her singing is till date regarded as the definitive Ghalib. In fact India's then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru paid her the ultimate compliment by telling her " Tumne Mirza Ghalib ki Rooh ko Zinda Kar Diya" (she had brought Mirza Ghalib to life). In Nitin Bose's Waris (1954), Suraiya costarred with singing star Talat Mehmood (incidentally, she played heroine opposite another singer who tried to be an actor, Mukesh, in 1953's Mashuqa, too). With the sonorous melody, Rahi matwale, Anil Biswas and Suraiya proved their continuing relevance in a new age. Her last film was Rustom Sohrab (1963) following which she kept away from films. A spate of indifferent films followed. Suraiya had grew bulkier but her songs were still exquisite --- Aap se pyar hua jaata hai in Shama (1961), or the serene duet with Talat, Man dheere dheere gaye re in Maalik (1958). In 1963, to the strains of Yeh kaisi ajab dastaan ho gayee hai, the Sajjad jewel from Rustom Sohrab, Suraiya bade farewell to the studios. Suraiya Jamaal Sheikh's legend has endured for over four decades after her retirement post Rustom Sohrab (1963). It is fuelled by her one-time Dev Anand association, her repertoire of lilting songs and an air of mystique.

She stayed at "Krishna Mahal", her Marine Drive residence in Mumbai til her death. The walls and mirrors of Krishna Mahal flat on Marine Drive, are the only objects that set their eyes on this star of yesteryears. But she broke her self-imposed exile when she made a rare appearance at the Screen Videocon awards when Sunil Dutt presented her the Lifetime Achievement award. Radiant in a white salwar kameez she carried herself with the grace of a much younger woman.

The gentle sway of her hips spoke of her delicate style of dancing. The only thing that had remained completely unchanged was her voice. Tremulous with emotion, Suraiya's voice was choked with emotion when she took her award. She spoke of her long association with the film world and she was deeply touched that audiences still remembered her. But when Javed Jaffery pressed her to sing or just hum -- she refused. As a star shestill remembers the meaning of letting a legend live. Heroines are captured forever on the silver screen and the public's memory must never be updated.

Personal life

But her luck did not hold out in her personal life and Suraiya faced her biggestdisappointment. She first met Dev Anand in 1948, when she was just 19 years old. They were co-starring in the film Vidya and on the second day itself cupid struck. During the shooting of a song, a boat capsized and Dev Anand saved Suraiya from drowning. . And when he saved her from drowning during the filming of the song `Kinare Kinare Chale Jayenge', Suraiya was convinced that she had met her cosmic mate. She fell in love with him. Suraiya was romantically involved with actor Dev Anand and the two of them did six films together between 1948 and 1951. but her grandmother opposed the relationship. They were romantically linked and were all set to marry when her strict grandmother put her foot down and broke their relationship. She banned meeting, telephone calls and even talking on the sets. The entire affair was conducted in a clandestine manner with friends like Durga Khote and Kamini Kaushal going out of their way to engineer secret rendezvous. On the sets of the film Jeet, Dev Anand finally proposed to Suraiya and gave her a diamond ring worth Rs 3,000 -- a princely sum for a fledgling star. But even that memento was snatched away from her when her grandmother saw the ring and threw it away into the sea. She also burnt all of Dev Anand's letters in front of Suraiya's eyes. Her objection to the romance: (Dev Anand is a Hindu while Suraiya is a Muslim). A hunt for a Muslim husband began but marriagewas not in Suraiya's fate. In 1951, Dev Anand married Kalpana Kartik -- ending one of the silver screen's greatest romances. The heartbroken Suraiya never married though many leading men of her time were interested in her.Surraiya's idol was Gregory Peck and he visited her by surprise during a night of 1954 while in transit at Mumbai on his way to Srilanka for shooting. He was much impressed by her simplicity.Dev Anand molded himself in postures of Gregory Peck but after long awaiting he married Kaplna Kartak.Suraiya remained unmarried all her life.

Dev Anand accepts his love for Suraiya

the unmarried Suraiya lives alone in her plush Marine Drive apartment. Rarely does one see a bejewelled Suraiya at a party. Even after her strict grandmother, who kept suitors at bay and producers at arm's length, passed away, Suraiya continued to be inaccessible to the hoi polloi.

Her decision to reside in an ivory tower has added to her mystique, while her resolve to shun character roles ensured that she is always remembered as a heroine. Most quaintly, Suraiya also chose not to sing any new film song in the last 40 years.

Death

She died in 2004 of old age at 75. In 2004, during the Sansui Awards, actress Jaya Bhaduri received the Lifetime Achievement Award and while she was on stage, she was disappointed that no one gave a tribute to the legendary actress Suraiya who had passed right around that time.

Suraiya's dastaan, ajeeb but fascinating, continues to thrive on lore, speculation and memories.

Son of Tahir Hussain,

Mother is Zeenat Hussain. Sometimes she is referred to as Zeena Hussain.

Cousin of Mansoor Khan

His ancestors hail from Afghanistan.

Spouse
Kiran Rao (28 December 2005 - present)
Reena Dutta (18 April 1986 - December 2002) (divorced) 2 children

Shares a birthday with Michael Caine, Mercedes McNab, Kylie Tyndall, Keaton Tyndall, Quincy Jones, Chris Klein, & Jamie Bell

Khan was born in Bandra's Holy Family Hospital, Mumbai, India, to a Muslim family that has been actively involved in the Indian motion picture industry for several decades. His father, Tahir Hussain, was a film producer while his uncle, Nasir Hussain, was a film producer as well as a director and an actor.

He is a descendant of the Muslim scholar and politician Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and a second cousin to former Chairperson of Rajya Sabha Dr Najma Heptullah.

He is an Indian film actor, director and producer who has established himself as one of the leading actors of Hindi cinema.

It was almost a given that he would enter the film industry and sure enough, at the tender age of just eight, he made his first on screen appearance with Yaadon Ki Baraat (1973), in a home production, made by Nasir Hussain, he was the youngest child in the trio; it was not a real part just a blink and miss appearance in the title song of the film... and this was followed by Madhosh (1974).

But unlike most child stars who fall victim to the curse of a jinxed career, Amir Khan left the industry to pursue his studies, distinguishing himself in tennis. He went on to become the state tennis champion for Maharashtra.

Eleven years later, he made his adult acting debut in a role that went quite unnoticed in Ketan Mehta's Holi (1984) along with his friend and later his director Ashutosh Gowariker, the film also starred Naseeruddin Shah.

Khan's first notable leading role came in 1988 in the film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak which was directed by his cousin and Nasir Hussain's son Mansoor Khan.
This film was a breakthrough commercial success, effectively launching Khan's career as a leading actor. Having the typical 'chocolate hero' looks, he was publicised as a teen idol.
The film was a run away success and he achieved instant stardom (the film is now considered a classic of Hindi Cinema)and not only that the film was successful in turning the tide away from action centric violent films to family oriented romantic musical dramas in Hindi Cinema.

He also starred in critically acclaimed film Raakh,(a small, art film) he did a complete opposite role from the lover boy of his first film, for his breakthrough performance he got his first National Award for Special Jury Award.

Afterwards he signed a few not so good films which failed at the box office.

After that, he went on to appear in several other films in the late '80s and early '90s: Dil (1990), which became the highest grossing film of the year, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991), Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993) (for which he also wrote the screenplay), Was offered the role of Rahul Mehra in Darr (1993) and Rangeela (1995).
Most of these films were successful critically and commercially.

Other successes include Andaz Apna Apna, co-starring Salman Khan. At the time of its release the movie was reviewed unfavorably by critics, but over the years has gained a cult status.

Khan continued to act in just one or two films a year, an unusual trait for a mainstream Hindi cinema actor.

His only release in 1996 was the Dharmesh Darshan directed commercial blockbuster Raja Hindustani in which he was paired opposite Karisma Kapoor.
The film earned him his first Filmfare Best Actor Award, after seven previous nominations, and went on to become the biggest hit of the year, as well as the third highest grossing Indian film of the 1990s.

Khan's career had seemed to hit a plateau at this point of time, and most of the films to follow for the next few years were only partially successful.

In 1997, he co-starred with Ajay Devgan and was paired opposite Juhi Chawla in the film Ishq, which performed well at the box office.

In 1998, Khan appeared in the moderately successful Ghulam, for which he also did playback singing.

John Mathew Matthan's Sarfarosh (1999), Khan's first release in 1999, was also moderately successful, gaining an above average box office verdict. The film was highly appreciated amongst the critics and Khan's role as a dedicated, honest and uncorrupted cop engaged in fighting border terrorism, was well received, as was his role in Deepa Mehta's art house film Earth.
His first release for the new millennium, Mela, in which he acted alongside his real-life brother Faisal Khan, was both a box-office and critical bomb.



In 2001 Khan set up a production company known as Aamir Khan Productions.
Its first film was Lagaan.
The movie was released in 2001, starring Khan as the lead actor.
The film was a major critical and commercial success, and received a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the 74th Academy Awards.
It was eventually chosen and nominated in that category but lost to No Man's Land.
Additionally, the film gathered critical acclaim at several international film festivals, in addition to winning numerous Indian awards, including the National Film Awards for Most Popular Film, an award shared between Khan and the film's director, Ashutosh Gowarikar.
Khan himself won his second Filmfare Best Actor Award.
The film continues to be one of the most popular Hindi films in the west.
Khan later commented on the loss of Lagaan at the Oscars: "Certainly we were disappointed. But the thing that really kept us in our spirits was that the entire country was behind us".

The success of Lagaan was followed by Dil Chahta Hai later that year, in which Khan co-starred with Akshay Khanna and Saif Ali Khan, with Preity Zinta playing his love interest.
The film was written and directed by the then newcomer Farhan Akhtar.
According to critics, the film broke new grounds by showing Indian urban youth as they really are today.
The characters depicted were modern, suave and cosmopolitan. The film did moderately well and was a success mostly in urban cities.

Khan then took a four year break citing personal problems, and returned in 2005 with Ketan Mehta's Mangal Pandey: The Rising playing the title role of a real-life sepoy and a martyr who helped spark the Indian Rebellion of 1857 or the 'First War of Indian Independence'.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's award-winning Rang De Basanti was Khan's first release in 2006.
His role was critically acclaimed, earning him a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance and various nominations for Best Actor.
The film went on to become one of the highest grossing films of the year, and was selected as India's official entry to the Oscars.
Although the film was not shortlisted as a nominee for the Oscar, it received a nomination for Best Foreign Film at the BAFTA Awards in England.
Khan's work in his next movie, Fanaa (2006) was also appreciated, and the film went on to become one of the highest grossing Indian films of 2006.

His 2007 film, Taare Zameen Par was also produced by him and marked his directorial debut.
The film, which was the second offering from Aamir Khan Productions, starred Khan in a supporting role as a teacher who befriends and helps a dyslexic child.
It opened to excellent responses from critics and audiences alike.
Khan's performance was well-received, although he was particularly applauded for his directing.
Khan played a supporting role in the film, sharing the screen with the debut of child actor Darsheel
Safary.
The film was initially conceived of and developed by the husband and wife team, Amole Gupte and Deepa Bhatia.
It was a story of a young child who suffers in school until a teacher identifies him as dyslexic.
Khan's work won him two awards at the Filmfare, the Best Movie and the Best Director awards, which established his status as a competent filmmaker in Bollywood.

In 2008, Khan launched his nephew Imran Khan's debut in the film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na under his production house.
The film was a big hit in India, and eventually earned Khan another nomination for Best Movie at the Filmfare.

His latest home production is "Dhobi Ghat"

In 2008, Khan appeared in the movie Ghajini went on to become the highest grossing film of its time in
Indian Cinema and 4th highest inflation adjusted, grossing a total of Rs.226 on the worldwide box office
and the first film to cross 100 crores on the domestic Indian box office, making a total of Rs.115 crores. (This record didn't last long though when his next release 3 Idiots went on to shatter not only the highest grosser record but many more.)
The film was a major commercial success and became the highest grossing Bollywood movie of that year.
For his performance in the film, Khan received several Best Actor nominations at various award ceremonies as well as his fifteenth Filmfare Best Actor nomination.

In 2009, Khan appeared in the commercially and critically acclaimed film 3 Idiots as Ranchodas Chanchad which became Bollywood's highest grossing film and won multiple Filmfare awards including Best Picture.
It not only made the highest opening first day, first weekend and first week records but subsequently continued to shatters many record on the following weekends and weeks, making many circuits records on the way. It made a total of Rs.202 crore domestically and Rs.400 crores on worldwide box becoming the highest overseas grosser till date, a staggering feat given that no other film has even come close to making Rs.100 crore on the domestic box office till date, except his own Ghajini last year.



Aamir fell in love with the girl next door in the meantime.
He proposed to her the day he turned 21, and she accepted.
But apparently, there was opposition since she was from a Hindu family and he, from a devout Islamic one.
So, they eloped, got married(on April 18, 1986).
After his marriage he took another flat in the same building where he lived with his parents, and started living there. As a result of this Amir’s marriage remained a secret for a some time. The marriage story hit the headlines when it was revealed for the first time.
Aamir's wife Reena even appears in the song "Papa Kehte Hain" that made him the darling of the nation.
They have two children, a son named Junaid and a daughter, Ira.
Reena was involved briefly in Khan's career when she worked as a producer for Lagaan.

Even after their marriage Reena Dutta continued to work at a travel agency. They had a son named Junaid and a daughter named Ira . Reena Dutta was very less involved in Aamir Khan’s film business. She worked as a producer for Lagaan, after which they broke up.

Aamir Khan and his wife Reena Dutta have filed a divorce petition with mutual consent, in family court Mumbai in December 2002, they got divorce & she took the custody of children ending the 15-year marriage.

Aamir khan was allowed to meet his children Junaid and Ira thrice a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6 pm to 8 pm. He will also have a right to meet his kids on alternate weekends every month from Friday 7 pm till Sunday 6 pm. Aamir and Reena decided to share summer and Christmas vacations equally with their children. If a child spends summer vacation with one parent, he would have a choice to spend Christmas with the other.

His wife Kiran Rao has a special pet name for Aamir Khan. She fondly calls her husband “Chhote�.



Kiran Rao quotes about Aamir Khan

“My working with Aamir was pretty accidental. I am not from a filmi family. A friend of mine who was working with Aamir’s Lagaan asked me if I would like to work as part of the team, and I agreed. Prior to that, I must have watched, like, ten Hindi movies in my life. I didn’t know much about Hindi films at all. And one of the films she did know about was Rangeela. QSQT was the first complete Hindi film I ever watched, as a young adult. I must have been about 14 then. I’ll never forget that because, it was the first movie I watched on our new VCR.�

In a 2009 interview, Khan states that he tends to take an independent approach to the world of filmmaking, noting that he does not "do different things; I try to do it in a different manner.
I think every person should follow his/her dream and try and make it possible to create an ability to achieve it backed by its practicality."
He has also indicated that he is more interested in the process of filmmaking than in the end result:
"For me, the process is more important, more joyful. I would like to have my entire concentration on the process right from the first step."

Personal Quotes

Every film I do means a lot to me. The failure of Mela, definitely made a difference to me. I am not comfortable with the idea of my films not releasing to their full potential.

"There's a lot of talent both in India and Pakistan. I think the talent in both these two countries should come together and entertain the world audience. If the right offer and opportunity comes my way, I'd love to do a movie in Pakistan." (12 May 2006)

Film making is like fighting a war with leadership at the front.

I found that what happened 150 years ago was happening again with Americans entering other countries and exploiting them but pretending they were doing a favor. It was this contemporary feel that attracted me.

My son is a harsh critic.

I enjoy the love I receive from my fans and my audience. But I think I know what is real for me and what is not.

CHILDHOOD DREAM COMES TRUE

Actor Aamir Khan, who turned drummer during the music launch of his forthcoming film Peepli Live, said, his childhood dream has come true.
"It was my childhood dream to perform alongside one of those long-haired rockstars and play some instrument. I finally got an opportunity. I thank, Indian Ocean for completing my childhood fantasy," Aamir said.
It was then, when the drummer of the Indian Ocean band was performing their two songs and asked Aamir to join them and play drums.
"I am bored of playing drums and I want someone to play drums for us — I want Aamir Khan to come and play the drums," Amit, the drummer said.




AAMIR KHAN : DOWN THE MEMORY LANE WITH FAVORITE CHILDHOOD FLICKS



Bollywood star Aamir Khan who has the nation at his feet each time any of his flick is released is also quite a film buff himself. The perfectionist star is also quite mesmerized with yesteryear stars and their great movies which he grew up watching.


According to tabloids Amir Khan has some hot favorites from the past which have fond childhood memories attached with them So which are the movies that this great actor still considers to be amongst the best movies ever made?

Here’s a checkout:

According to reports Aamir Khan is quite in awe of the famous movie David Copperfield which was based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens. This movie made with the finest details looked into just like it has been described by the author was a delight watch and the actor still cherishes those childhood memories.

Then there is the French movie ‘I Bought a Daddy’, which occupies a special place in Aamir’s heart. According to the star he just loved this black and white flick which was a part of the collection beamed by Doordarshan in those good old days of the 1970’s. The movie had a single mom whose child was quite fascinated with one of the mannequins kept in the shop downtown. Thus the child had started thinking that the mannequin was her dad and the pathos made Aamir quite sad.

Amongst the oldie Goldie Bollywood flicks, Aamir loved Caravan. This flick was made by his uncle Nassir Hussain. This was the first movie that the star saw as a child in the 16mm projector as it was film maker Ram Dayal who used to organize such shows in the building and Aamir too lived in the same building .Even Raj Khosla, the famous film maker lived in that very building and reports are that Aamir still lives in the very flat that belonged to Raj Khosla in those days

Yet another on the list of his favorites is Mera Gaon Mera Desh, which had the evergreen Dharampaaji in the lead. This flick with all sides of human nature being portrayed so well was simply loved by Aamir Khan.

However, comedy was also a major part of entertainment for young Aamir. He still remembers the amazing funny dialogues and monologues by late Kishore Kumar in the flick Half Ticket, which had hilarious situations cooked up in the entire plot. So, if you’re an Aamir Khan fan go pick up some DVD’S of these classics and watch them just to get a feel of the real entertainment quotient derived by the actor himself!
