This pic is a courtesy of Kamal Mustafa. Inaam, there aren't many pics of Shamshad as she was from very conservative family and used to arrive to studios in Burqa for singing. There are only 2-3 pics of hers. She started appearing on TV in her old age, and I dont think there is any pic of hers when she was young except this one.

Once on a Doordarshan prog they conducted an interview with her and there were quite a few good pics of her. In one her hair nicley trimmed, wearing glasses she was seen playing a harmonium

Pulkit,
But those pics might be from mid to late age. To quote from one website :-

"Belonging to a highly respectable, conservative and orthodox family it is surprising to note that she was initially allowed to sing only in a burqa." (http://www.planetpowai.com/SHAMSHAD%20BEGUM.htm)
