This picture shows a young Noor Jehan during the making of her 1947 film, Jugnu. Starring opposite veteran actor, Dilip Kumar, Noor Jehan played the titular leading lady in the Indian film.

She is seen here dressed in a checked coat, a silk headscarf and adorning her forehead is a traditional bindi. A little girl is also seen with her, who could possibly be one of her daughters who was visiting her and keeping her company on the film set.

It was shortly after making this film that Noor Jehan moved to Pakistan.
