Tasawar Khanum

Tasawar Khanum (Urdu: تساور خانم - born 1948) is a Pakistani Ghazal and playback film singer.

During her childhood she was a neighbor of singer Pervez Mehdi who was a good friend of her father.

It was the fellow singer Pervaiz Mehdi who asked her father to ensure that Tassawar should receive an education in music after he overheard her copying him while he practiced.

After this, she began to take music lessons with sarangi nawaz Ustad Butta Ali Khan.

She got married right after she recorded her song in film Rangeela (1970) which became highly popular later.
