- This is the biographical documentary on one of the last living courtesan Zarina begum. The only artist from the time of Mallika-e-Ghazal Begum Akhtar. Once the star attraction at royal mehfils and marriages, singing thumris, dadras and ghazals now lives in a temporary roof that covers her only room…while she still sings the last songs of Awadh..
The collect footage of Zarina Begum is from Saba Dewan's documentary "The other song".
Thank You Saba Dewan for documenting Zarina Begum at first place.

These people should get monetary help or atleast pension from govt, they are real gems👌👌👌 of our rich heritage and culture
Nice tribute. True artists are neglected. Money comes to those who know tricks of show business and stage. Alas
True artists.
U really showed us why it was called “ shan-e-avadh”...you will always be missed
Gold mine of overflowing talents, yesterday's songs make us realize again that most of our current music is noise!
Noise????u insult this word..... today we have nothing but TRASH....SUNG BY TRASH.....
@@babagama4232 get lost
Such people are cultural resource of our country...such families should be given monetary help by state govt... ...
Her voice was magic! Great tribute to a rare gem!
Shweta, an amazing, extremely moving short. A haunting tribute to a legend and an era of sophistication and great beauty. Thank you, hope this connects her and you, to posterity!
Her voice gave me goosebumps. What a melodious voice. Such a powerful singing. Kabile taareef.
Thr r ppl who can dislike a video like this one....just don't watch it....don't show yr level ....I'm appalled..... beautiful documentary by shweta ji....sad to see how the talent fades ...ustad Bismillah Khan another sad story....I was the audience in manjari chrurvedis show....it was mersmerisi g....we don't deserve these gemstones that's y time covers them with the dust of anoniminity....shame on us......
There's a song that begum akhtar is singing in the beginning "hum khanuma kharab" i guess can i get the video link.of this video ghazal in her voice. Anyone please
The amazing story of classic music legend Zarina Begum. Thank you for making this documentary and introducing us to the incredible talent of the Indo Pak subcontinent. Long live Zarina Begum through her voice.
That's an extremely creative and well made documentary, and it's supposed to be a 'student's project..... Congratulations!
Wow.. A great DOCUMENTARY.. Watching this after Hiramandi.. Excellent 💥
If people around her had the slightest honour, they’d gather enough money to help support her in her old age, but unfortunately people just like to watch and praise with free words without taking action to help for real. This is the life of artists in our cultures, people waiting around and saying empty praises while the artist suffers.
Very Well Said
She is much better then modern Bombay singers.. Sorry ! Is there a singer in Bombay anymore ?
One can just shed few tears for the old gold - modern music is very cruel to old basics of the word 'moseeqi' time will never stop but reminds us of old days which at times is painful
Nostalgia ... stunning melodies ... love & respect from pakistan
You've used the medium excellently for this ethnographic record which will help so many others. Thank you for sharing. Found your channel on Begum Akhtar's 103rd anniversary. How apt!
My deep feelings of Shukriya to producer of this video...a rare treasure
All the respect to this great artist .Loved her singing always.
She is humble, beautiful and a treasure - great project - enjoying this - thanks from London
Thank you for this creation. Huge respect to Begumji from Nepal
thank you for introducing such a legend. culture of our past.
I’ve been the audience of this legendary singer, at “Mateen Manzil” Havelock Rd Lucknow on the occasion of a memorial program of late Begum Akhtar ji. I found no difference between the voices of Zareena ji & Begum Akhtar ji. As I watched the live performance of both legendary singers. I’ve been to her house as well because her son ustad Zahid Hussain had been my singing teacher.
Yogi ji should give these gems some kind of pension. they bring glory to the state. her voice is amazing.
Thanks for making this sensitive and historical relevant record for posterity.
Favourites
Inspiring... awe- inspiring... thank you for your enormous effort to give an insight on Begum.

No words, kitani sundar gayki hai. Samay balvan hota hai.
Very well made documentary and a portrayed woman that deserves deep respect. Kind regards from the Netherlands

Thanks Shweta for historical work. Appreciate it
Very good documentary, congratulation. begamji is legendary singer in our India but sad filling to seen her economic condition.
Great Work by Shweta & Sarita! Sorry to see her unfortunate condition!
Thank you for an excellent rendition. You are bringing history alive.
Can you similarly feature a mix of Girja Devi. Thank you and stay well.

वर्षों पूर्व मुझे उन्हें एक संगीत-समारोह में सुनने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ था।
Her voice is so natural and real, singing is so eligant and adorable.
SHWETAJI U R GREAT....💐💐💐
.....KUDOS TO U FOR THIS PEACE OF LITERARY GEM👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
An excellent documentary on a small budget. Very affecting! Thank you.
Thanks Shwetaji preparing the heritage biography of legendary Singer.
Beautiful! A rare episode one of the classics.
One million likes from india 🇮🇳 thanks madam 🙏🏻
Shwetaji thank you for recording this for posterity, but my humble request that you should change the title, she was a court singer not a courtesan, there is a difference. Thanks.
You’ve done a great civic act! Respect!
Why put the word " courtesan" in the title of this documentary? She was a singer. Please change the title. It's misleading and inaccurate.
That’s true. Very objectionable.
Yes please change the title . She is singer not to coutesan
I respect your feeling & understand why you guys objected but actually Courtesans or 'Tawaifs'as they are known in Indian Subcontinent were a very elite group of women who had multiple skills including dance & music. The rich & talented group of society went to their homes for different kinds of pleasures like ghazal & much more....Social mannerisms were also highly regarded there. They were very rich & politically powerful. Prostitution was just a tiny but significant part of the greater spectrum of a Courtesan's life.
True. I agree ...it's a perspective. Full of art in them.
Being tawaif or Courtesan is respectful it's elite class talented women
Don't mix it with prostitution like britishers
It's irony that of someone is Ustaad it's respectful but if it's his counterpart Tawaif it's not?
Whatever has changed for very few of them that was not their choice.. life chronology of tawaifs represent how society treat talented women
BRAVO !!! Thank you.
Aapko Baut Baut Dhanyawad for publishing on youtube.
Thanks for this wonderful short film.
Our bad habit is not worship a rising sun but cheer those who are famous out of publicity.
A tragic moment , an artist is neglected
This is how India treats the treasure of music
Our sincere regards to her.. Superb gayaki... thanks for nice rare post
वाह आपकी मेहनत को सलाम , आपने मशक्कत कर ये विडीयो को पेश किया 🌷💎🌷
Tk you for this gold mine from the past p🙋
This is so sad ….. we , people of India , have squandered our wealth , the REAL wealth , that of people like this wonderful singer , throughout the ages … no wonder indian art is in death throes
Thank you for posting so beautiful Shweta u r a star
God bless you for honouring your guru with this. It is a wonderful sensitive tribute. Indeed, life is materially hard but the twinkle in Zareena Begum's eye gives riches to us all. I hope she and her family find some help through this video.
So beautiful and gifted. There should be some kind of support offered her in her golden years. Where are the descents of those rich men who were the patrons of these artists. Some kind of organization that takes care of them. We can't rely on the govt. for everything. Music lover who have gained pleasure and joy from listening to them, owe a debt. This is how I feel and will contribute to such a plan if someone will create one.
Excellent effort to bring this historic documentry
thank you so much!
Thank you for showing us to such masterpiece.
Lovely! Thanks for producing such gems.
Nicely done and thanks for bringing her to us🙏
So sad,the govt should help such artists .its an insult to our rich cultural heritage..
Excellent documentary. Keep up the good job by making many more
thanx shweta ji for posting this. such voices of our past heritage need help. Do any music academy has come forward to help her and other such artists?
Good work, but there’s some miscalculation in the age. She’s either not born in 1947 or not 87 yrs old.
Love it. Thank you for this video!
सलाम इन महान फनकारा को 🌷🙏🌷
Inspired and enjoyed the biography. Thanks
Bahot behterin video hai. Aap k samajhane ka tarika bahot khub hai, Vedeo dekhte samay hum itihaas me kahi kho se jaate hai,
Very good heart touching report thanks
Thank you sooo much its an extra ordinary effort v nice
❤❤❤❤❤زبردست پرانی یادیں ❤❤❤❤❤
Pl remove the word courtesan from the title, don’t disrespect such a gem . It’s commendable that u brought her in our space , the likes of her are rare to find🙏
Thanx a Lot Shweta Jee.. Great works
Very very beautiful 😍 really liked. Best wishes
What a beautiful time that was, I wish I was there at that time...
The documentary is very nicely produced. But her Zareena Begum's birth year as 1947 seems to be wrong. Please check and edit.
1930.
Thanks for such beautiful video
Thank-you Shweta 🙏
This film has used extensive footage from the documentary ' The Other Song' without asking permission or even acknowledging it . It's a clear case of plagiarism.
Saba ji, I understand your concern, the documentary was just for the college project and nothing else. I am not making any money out of it. I know I should have given you the credit but I didn't know about crediting during that time. I have used parts of your video and I really loved your work in the documentary. I don't mind adding a line in the description box crediting you. Let me know if you still have any concern.
Very nice narrative. Wonderful music!
Amazing and informative presentation . Keep it up
Real tribute to a mesmerising voice
And pls i think you should remove the word courtesan from the caption. She was a court singer not a courtesan. Courtesan is not a decent word to use for a legend like her.
i dont think our people know the disgraceful meaning of the word
Yes it is disgraceful and derogatory word.
You must replace it
She has dedicated her life, body and soul to the art. God has blessed us with her.
Boht Dard hai awaz main Wah g Wah
Please always put date and place of recording. This is part of HISTORY.
SPratap
You done a great work god bless u ...
