Nargis Born Ghazallah
August 12, 1974
Lahore, PakistanOccupation Film actress, Stage dancer Years active 1992–present Height 1.68 m (5 ft 6 in) Nargis (Urdu: نرگس) (born 1974) is a Pakistani film actress and a stage dancer, whose real name is Ghazallah (meaning "a female deer"). She was born in Chichawatni. She had the leading role in Idrees Khan’s Aalmi Ghunde (Global Thugs), with a script written by Nasir Adeeb. Future roles in movies like Kuri Munda Razi and Kala Raj were type-cast, and her career and reputation as a solo star suffered as a result.[1]
Playing the unusual role of a bald woman for Omar Sharif’s Chand Babu, she shaved her head to better play the part. Her views are considered to be contrary to conservative Pakistani society; many see her as outspoken compared to social Pakistani norms.
She appears regularly in stage plays and theater musicals in Lahore, Multan and other cities throughout Pakistan; her younger sister Deedar also appears on stage quite frequently. Nargis's recent film Sooha Jora (Bridal Dress) was produced by her husband Zubair Shah.
