She became a household name in 1982, after the release of her debut film, Nikaah. It turned the spotlight on triple talaaq and sparked off a huge controversy, but then went on to bust the box office. Thirty-seven years later, this practice, which had ruined the lives of so many Muslim women, was declared illegal and void.
Salma Agha raised her voice in support of the ban and invited death threats. But there was no keeping her down. More recently, speaking to the actress-activist reveals, “I want to get back to acting, both in films and OTT, and have lost 15 kilos. I also want to start singing again and there are plans to open a production company in Mumbai.”
It’s been over 40 years since Nikaah released and Dil Ke Armaan Aansoon Mein Beh Gayi still resonates.
Yes, and you will be happy to know that I am planning a remix of Dil Ke Armaan. Also, Dance Dance from Kasam Paida Karnewale Ki, with my daughter Zarah S Khan, who incidentally has borrowed the ‘S’ from my name, Salma. We are planning these two songs as singles, with videos. God has blessed me with two beautiful and talented children. I’m currently spending time with my son, Shahaan Ali Khan, who is studying at a premier international institute in Himachal Pradesh. Shahaan is also a music producer and sound engineer, training to be an actor. He should also come out with his own single by the year-end. Zara was adjudged the Most Promising Young Talent of Bollywood at the Filmfare MiddleEast Awards last year.
Her award must have brought back memories of your Black Lady?
