[1][2] During the 1940s in Bombay, Rizvi initially owned a company called Shaukat Art Productions.
Before coming to Pakistan, Rizvi had directed 5 films in India starring Noor Jehan.
The film became a huge success and brought Noor Jehan fame and fortune in Pakistan.
However, with the divorce of Rizvi and Noor Jehan in 1955, Noor Jehan had to write off her share of the Shahnoor Studios to Shaukat Hussain Rizvi in the divorce court, to get the custody of her daughter, Zile Huma and also agree to the condition that she would not shoot films in this studio again.
Syed Shaukat's career, after the divorce, wasn't as great as it used to be in India, because in marrying Noor Jehan, he was mainly successful because of her.
