LAHORE: “I love the Pakistanis from whom I have won so much admiration as an actor,” says famous film star Shabnam as the countdown to her much anticipated return to the city where she once lived and prospered begins.
Shabnam and her well-known husband, music composer Robin Ghosh, will arrive in Lahore on April 27 to take part in a show organised by the Pakistan Television.
“I am planning to meet people from the film industry,” Shabnam, once the undisputed queen of Pakistani films, told Dawn by telephone from Dhaka.
“It’s been 10 years since I last went to Lahore and Karachi on a personal visit.”
The PTV is planning the event to honour the huge contribution Shabnam and Robin Ghosh made to the Pakistani film industry over long decades beginning in the 1960s.
Shabnam’s was the longest reign for actor in Pakistan playing the traditional ‘heroine’ while Ghosh was famous for his melodious compositions drawing heavily, and for a soothing effect, on the rich Bengali music tradition. Hailing from the parts which later became Bangladesh, the couple settled down in Dhaka some years ago.
