“Today is marked as the death anniversary of Madam Noor Jehan however it won’t be unjust to say that this legend still lives in our hearts and will continue to do so until the end of times, her melodious voice still captivates the listeners as they did years ago, she might have left for a better place but her songs still calms the storms in this world,” the makeup artist said.

Shoaib Khan added that he is paying a tribute to the popular actress by reflecting her beauty with his work of art.

The makeup artist donned a black and gold ensemble and styled his hair with a flower on the side. His epic transformation with great attention paid to details such as Madam Noor Jhan’s beauty mark near the lip makes it hard to tell the difference.

The stylist also posted a video reenacting the legend singing a song.

Noor Jehan began to sing at the age of five and showed a keen interest in a range of styles, including traditional folk and popular theatre. Realising her potential for singing, her mother sent her to receive early training in classical singing under Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. He instructed her in the traditions of the Patiala Gharana of Hindustani classical music and the classical forms of thumri, dhrupad, and khayal.

At the age of nine, Noor Jehan drew the attention of Punjabi musician Ghulam Ahmed Chishti, who would later introduce her to the stage in Lahore. He composed some ghazals, naats and folk songs for her to perform, although she was more keen on breaking into acting or playback singing.
