  • This is the biographical documentary on one of the last living courtesan Zarina begum. The only artist from the time of Mallika-e-Ghazal Begum Akhtar. Once the star attraction at royal mehfils and marriages, singing thumris, dadras and ghazals now lives in a ​temporary roof that covers her only room…while she still sings the last songs of Awadh..
    The collect footage of Zarina Begum is from Saba Dewan's documentary "The other song".
    Thank You Saba Dewan for documenting Zarina Begum at first place.

    If people around her had the slightest honour, they’d gather enough money to help support her in her old age, but unfortunately people just like to watch and praise with free words without taking action to help for real. This is the life of artists in our cultures, people waiting around and saying empty praises while the artist suffers.

I found no difference between the voices of Zareena ji & Begum Akhtar ji. As I watched the live performance of both legendary singers. I’ve been to her house as well because her son ustad Zahid Hussain had been my singing teacher.

    So beautiful and gifted. There should be some kind of support offered her in her golden years. Where are the descents of those rich men who were the patrons of these artists. Some kind of organization that takes care of them. We can't rely on the govt. for everything. Music lover who have gained pleasure and joy from listening to them, owe a debt. This is how I feel and will contribute to such a plan if someone will create one.
