ISLAMABAD: Google on Thursday dedicated a doodle for homepage in honour of Madam Noor Jehan on her 91st birthday anniversary.
Born Allah Rakhi Wasai on September 21, 1925, she was known as the “Malika-e-Taranum” (Queen of Melody) across the world. Her voice and unique style of singing captured the hearts of millions across South Asia.
Best known for her voice, she was also an accomplished actress. Noor Jehan also helped co-direct Chan Wey in 1951. Her contribution to the art and history of Pakistan will never be forgotten. Her national songs during the 1965 war against India raise patriotic sentiments among the people of Pakistan. The government of Pakistan awarded her a Sitara-i-Imtiaz, and Tamgha-e-Imtiaz. The doodle features Madam Noor Jehan in purple attire, with a choker and the memorable flower on the side of her hair. The doodle has great resemblance to her Dildar Sadqay Lakh Waar Sadqay performance on PTV. She recorded about 10,000 songs in various languages of India and Pakistan, including Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi and Sindhi.
