Death anniversary of Inayat Hussain Bhatti ; Greatest playback singer, TV presenter, actor, producer, director, script writer, social worker, columnist.
Whenever Punjabi films, music and literature are mentioned, the first name that comes to mind is that of Inayat Hussain Bhatti. This multi talented person was born on 12th January 1928 in Gujrat, Punjab. He received his education from his hometown and graduated from Zamindar College and later went to Lahore with the intention of getting a degree in Law but fate had something else in store for him.
In 1997, he suffered an attack of paralysis, which impaired his speech and kept him bed-ridden for most of the time thereafter. A few days before his death, the 71-year-old artiste was taken to his native home Gujrat, where on 31 May 1999, he died and was buried next to his parents.

36th death anniversary of legendary actor and comedian Rafi Khawar Aka "Nanha".
He was regarded as an exceptional comedy talent and for many years was the star of the hit TV show " Alif Noon" that ran across three seasons. He was a familiar face, well known and loved by all. He was a respected figure in his community.
Nanha was introduced in film Wattan ka Sipahi in 1966 after his remarkable performance in first Ptv comedy series Alif Noon. He worked hard in the first decade of his film career and got breakthrough from film Noukar in 1975. He was hero in film Tehka Pehlwan in 1979 and in the same year his film Dubai Chalo (1979) was super hit on box office. Despite the dominance of Sultan Rahi and his action films Nanha-Ali jaz-pair gained lot of popularity as hero/comedian pair in the first half of 80s and were seen in more than 50 movies in leading roles. They were paired since film Insayniat (1967). Nanha's most famous film in title role was Sala Sahib (1981), which ran for more than 300 weeks in Lahore's cinemas.

He was seen in 391 movies, 166 Urdu, 221 Punjabi/Siraiki, 3 Sindhi and a single Pashto film. His last released film was Pasoori Badshah in 1991.
Nanha was also a bank employee when he entered to the show biz world. He committed suicide on June 2, 1986 after a failure of his one-way love affair with dancer Nazli.
Rafi Khawar may be gone. But the super-performer, Nanha, of 'Alif Noon', lives on.

Happy Birthday Zia Mohyeddin A Living Legend.
A star in the true sense of the word. The Master of Urdu Literature Recitals. When it comes to Urdu Literature Recitals as an art form, Zia Mohyeddin stands in a league of his own.
When he speaks with gravity, the crowd listens intently. When he is in a jovial mood, they respond with roars of laughter. He is a like a ringmaster, a conductor who controls the orchestra. With decades going by, we are yet to see anyone come even closer to the hallmark of master orator, Zia Mohyeddin.
May Allah Bless You with Happiness and Good Health, We love you

The Xavier Sisters, Karachi
How many of you know that the first all-girls band of Pakistan emerged on the music scene as far back as 1966 when five sisters who began singing at concerts in 1961 formalized the group as "The Xavier Sisters"? Club scene was active in Karachi and there were many local bands playing. The Xavier Sisters turned out to be the first all-girls band to emerge.
By 1967 they played for talent shows and jam sessions all over Karachi. As their popularity grew they were invited to sing in different other cities and also got opportunities on radio and TV.
In 1969, The Xavier Sisters became the first Karachi based band to have an international contract that took them to Tehran. The band sang jazz, pop and dance numbers mostly in English with few numbers in French, Spanish and Italian. They even sang a Punjabi song on TV. By early 70s, the group started disbanding slowly when a couple of sisters moved abroad. In 1975, The Xavier Sisters officially broke up as a group when rest of the family migrated to Canada.
