Early life and family
Kausar was born in
Teri Yaad (1948). She was the youngest sister of actresses Asha Posley, Najma Begum and Rani Kiran.[1][2][3][4]
Career
Kausar began her singing career in the early 1950s and rose to fame when she gave her voice for
Master Inayat Hussain and G.A. Chisthi in the films, Gumnaam (1954) and Sassi (1954).[1] 1955 was a pivotal year in her career as a singer. Under the direction of Master Inayat Hussain, she sang for two films, Inteqam and Qatil. While Qatil is best known for the Iqbal Bano's sad melody, "Ulfat Ki Nai Manzil Ko Chala", Kauser held her own with a love solo, "O Maena, Na Janey Kia Ho Gaya", which was filmed on Sabiha Khanum. Another highlight of 1955 was a lullaby from the film Naukar, "Raj Dularey Tohe Dil Mein Basaoun," which is still remembered today and became one of the most popular songs of her career and it went on to become one of her most notable songs.[5][6][7][8]
In the late 1950s, Kauser's popularity began to fade with the advent of
Waada (1957): "Baar Baar Barsey Morey Nain, Mohe Kaisey Mile Chain". Rashid Attre composed the soundtrack for both of these hits.[10] Kausar sang 273 songs in 90 films.[5][1][2][11][12]
Personal life
Kausar was married to the music director Akhter Hussain Ankhiyan and she had one son.[1]
