I never knew that you were a big star until I grew old enough to develop a taste in classic films. You were a great person, a humble and kind human who never took advantage of being a big name. Your life style was so ordinary like any other normal person. You always kept a low profile. In Dammam, Saudi Arabia she had a lot of Pakistani family friends like us. All your family friends knew who you were but you never showed off. A lot of people approached her for interviews but she refused. I would like to share the pictures of little memories we had with her to keep her alive forever.
