Popularly known as the screen of the First Lady of Pakistani, legendary Pakistani actress Sabiha Khanum died in the United States at the age of 85 and left a rich legacy.
"We are very sorry to share the news of our beautiful and beloved Sabiha Raza's (Sabiha Khanum) death, who died on June 13, 2020," her grandson Sarish Khan said in the social media update.
Sabiha, who reigned on the big screen with super hit movies like Kaneez, Mukhra, Anokha and Tehzeeb in the 1950s and 1960s, reportedly had kidney disease.
Although Sabiha appeared in a number of films, it was mainly directed against her husband, the late Santosh Kumar (Syed Musa Raza). Sabiha and Santosh were labeled the "perfect couple".
Sabiha received the Pride of Performance award from the President of Pakistan in 1986.

Very sad to hear of Sabiha Khanum passing. Was privileged to meet her at a reception in Washington some years ago. She was the epitome of grace even then,and loved hearing that many of us had seen her movies. She and husband Santosh were Pk’s full on matinee idols in the 60s pic.twitter.com/fntU3Cx0Rl
