One of Bollywood's earliest singers, Shamshad Begum died at her home in Mumbai this week.Lauding the voice that gave immortal songs like Kajra mohabbat wala, Leke pehla pehla pyar and Teri mehfil me kismat, the News International said the singer lived a "relatively reclusive life" after retiring from playback singing in 1965.Although India is "much kinder" to its creative artists than Pakistan has ever been, Shamshad Begum was "stepped over" for other singers in the 1960s, as her voice was considered too powerful for the cinema in those days, a Pakistani daily said.
