She enthralled thousands by her honey-voice. Millions swooned over her beauty. She was anointed by fans as ‘Malika-e-Husn’ (Queen of Beauty), and ‘Malika-e-Tarannum’ (Queen of Melody). She was Suraiya. The sovereign actress-singer of yesteryears. She evoked the kind of hysteria [in the late 1940s] that can be compared only with Rajesh Khanna in his heyday from 1969 to 1972. Ask any old-timer and they would confirm that people bunked offices, schools and colleges, even shops closed on the opening day of her films, to see her films first day, first show. Mobs would descend on her if they got wind that she was going to attend a premiere. Happy 92nd birthday, Suraiya (15 June 1929 – 31 January 2004) -- source link
