Noor Jehan’s Centenary Prompts Calls for Greater Recognition

Pakistan marked the 100th birth anniversary of legendary singer Noor Jehan on Monday, but celebrations were reportedly limited. Her grandson, actor Ahmed Ali Butt, criticised the lack of official tributes and broader efforts to preserve artists’ legacies. Born in Kasur in 1926, Noor Jehan enjoyed a career spanning six decades and recorded thousands of songs in several languages.
