Mushtar Jehan was an Indian and Pakistani film actress. She was born in Bombay, British India. After doing dancing roles and small roles in films like the K. L. Saigal-Suraiya-starrer Tadbir, she got her major break in Hum Ek Hain (1946), which was incidentally Dev Anand's first film. Sajan (1947) had Mushtar in the female lead, and following the success of this film, as well as Shehnai (1947), she became an "overnight star".[2] From 1948 to 1951 was the best phase of her career as she did a variety of films paired opposite most of the top heroes of that time, like Prem Adib in Actress (1948), with Raj Kapoor in Sunehre Din (1949) and Sargam (1950), with Dev Anand in Dilruba (1950), with Shyam in Nirdosh (1950) and Surajmukhi (1950), with Shekhar in Ada (1951) and with Premnath Sagai (1951). Two of her biggest hits from these were Sargam (1950) and Sagai (1951).
After 1952, her career sharply went on the decline as films like Rangeeli (1952), Chham Chhama Chham, Hazar Raatein (1953) and Samrat (1954) all sank at the box office. With her career on the decline in India, Mushtar migrated to Pakistan with the hope of continuing her career there.
