Salma Agha (born 25 October 1956) is a Pakistani born British-Indian singer and actress who sang as well as acted in Bollywood films of India in the 1980s and the early 1990s. She was born in Karachi and raised in London, where she received several film offers from Indian directors. Her first film was Nikaah, in which she starred as heroine and also sang her songs herself. She was nominated for the Filmfare awards that year in both the Best Actress category and the Best Female Playback Singer category. It was for her singing that she won the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award. She is also known for her role in Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki (1984) opposite Mithun Chakraborty, and for her song 'Come Closer' from the same film.
Background and personal life[edit]
Salma Agha was born in Karachi, Pakistan, the daughter of Liaqat Gul Agha and his wife Nasreen Agha. Liaqat Gul Agha was a tradesman dealing in rugs and belonged to a Urdu speaking Muslim Pathan family based in Amritsar. She traces the origin of her surname ‘Aagha’, “My father (Liaqat Gul Tajik) traded in precious stones and antiques in Iran. He was given the title Aagha there, a kind of knighthood bestowed on a businessman of repute.” Her mother Nasreen (born as Zarina Ghaznavi) was the daughter of Rafiq Ghaznavi, a Pashtun musician, and his wife Anwari Bai Begum, who was one of the earliest actresses of Indian cinema, starring in Heer Ranjha (1932). Anwari and Rafiq Ghaznavi were divorced (or separated) after Zarina/Nasreen's birth, and Anwari then married a rich Hindu businessman named Jugul Kishore Mehra. In order to marry Anwari, Jugal Kishore Mehta abandoned not only his family but also his religion; he became a Muslim and took the name Ahmed Salman. Since Anwari came with the baggage of a child, Jugal Kishore Mehra effectively became the father of the infant Zarina/Nasreen.[1][2]
Jugal Kishore Mehra was a first cousin of the Indian actors Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor and Shashi Kapoor, because their mother, Ramsarni Kapoor (nee Mehra), was the phuphi (paternal aunt) of Jugal Kishore Mehra.[3][4] It is often said that Salma Agha is a relative of the Kapoors, but this is not true; there is no blood relation between the Kapoors and Salma Agha, and in fact, after Jugal Kishore Mehra abandoned his family and religion to consort with Anwari Bai, his family cut off all ties with him.
Salma Agha had a long time relationship in the 1980s with London-based businessman Ayaz Sipra. This relationship lasted many years, during which time Salma made her film debut, but it did not develop into marriage. Apart from this relationship, Salma has been married three times. Her first husband was Javed Sheikh, with whom she had a rather brief and childless marriage in the 1980s. After divorce from Javed Sheikh, Salma Agha married famous squash player Rahmat Khan in 1989. They have two children together – Sasha Agha and Liaqat Ali Khan. Salma and Rahmat Khan got divorced in 2010, and in 2011, Salma Agha got married for a third time. Her present husband, Manzar Shah, is a Dubai-based businessman. Salma Agha lives in Mumbai, where her daughter Sasha is trying to gain a foothold in Bollywood films. Meanwhile Salma's latest husband, Manzar Shah, lives in Dubai.
According to Agha, her ancestors were in the film industry during pre-partition days. It is true, she said, that they settled in Pakistan after the partition of India, and that is reason why she, Salma, was born in Karachi, but her mother's foster-father was a Hindu by birth who had converted to Islam only to marry her grandmother. Her daughter Sasha Agha is born and resides in India.[5][6] She did not address the point that Sasha's father, Rahmat Khan, was undoubtedly a Pakistani and had represented his country in innumerable international squash tournaments. Nevertheless, in January 2017, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh announced that Salma Agha would be granted Overseas Citizenship of India,[7] given only to foreign citizens of Indian origin. This will facilitate her travel and residence in India without applying for a visa each time, and without periodically reporting to police during her stay (as required of Pakistanis and some other foreign nationals).[8]

Selmasongs: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack 'Dancer in the Dark' is the first soundtrack album by Icelandic musician Björk. It was released on September 18, 2000, by One Little Indian Records to promote and accompany the film Dancer in the Dark. In the film Björk starred as Selma Ježková, a Czech immigrant who has moved to the United States. The album features classical arrangements, as well as melodies and beats composed of sounds from mundane objects, such as factory machines and trains.
Notably, some of the song lyrics on the album are substantially different from the songs in the film, the most pronounced example being 'Scatterheart'. The album omits the vocals of actors David Morse, Cara Seymour and Vladica Kostic. Some lyrics were rewritten, perhaps to prevent spoiling crucial plot details, since the soundtrack was released in stores before the movie opened in theaters, or to make the record flow better as a stand-alone album. In particular, on the song 'I've Seen It All', Thom Yorke performs the words sung by Peter Stormare in the film. In addition, the tracks 'My Favourite Things' and the original 'Next To Last Song' do not appear on the album at all, despite appearances in the film.
The track 'I've Seen It All' was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, and was released as a promotional single in 2000. For the track, Björk made a 'webeo' with director Floria Sigismondi that premiered on September 1, 2000 on MTV.com. It used a shorter version of the song that the singer recorded specifically for the webeo.[1]

Background[edit]
Björk was offered only to write and produce the score for the film Dancer in the Dark. But when she read the script, 'the idea of putting all of me into this other person and trying to imagine what her interior would sound like was really exciting and quite liberating'. Eventually, director Lars von Trier persuaded her to play the starring role. 'The angle I took on it was that it wasn’t really acting', said Björk. 'Then when we started preparing for the acting I told [von Trier] from the top that I would have to feel it from instinct. And he said 'That suits me fine because I can't stand actresses and acting'.[2] Filming of Dancer in the Dark began in early 1999.[3] She played Selma, a Czech immigrant and single mother working in a factory in rural America who was going blind.[4] Björk, who was known primarily as a musician, had rarely acted before, and has described the process of making the film as so emotionally taxing that she would not appear in any film ever again.[5][6] She had disagreements with von Trier over the content of the film, and later called him sexist.[7] Co-star Catherine Deneuve and others have described her performance as feeling rather than acting.[8] Björk has said that it is a misunderstanding that she was put off acting by this film; rather, she never wanted to act but made an exception for von Trier.[9]

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 76, based on 20 reviews, which indicates 'generally favorable reviews'.[10] Heather Phares from AllMusic gave a positive review, commenting, 'Selmasongs' best tracks are poignant, inventive expressions of Björk's talent and Selma's daydreams and suffering. [..] Selmasongs paints a portrait of a woman losing her sight, but it maintains Björk's unique vision'.[11] While giving a 'C–' grade, David Browne from Entertainment Weekly noted that 'the melding of drum and bass rhythms and panoramic classical orchestrations is as sonically impressive as it was on 1997's Homogenic. But something here brings out the most precious and irritating aspects of Björk's elfin voice', but 'yet Selmasongs is mostly show tunes on Ecstasy, and you keep praying for a police raid'.[12]
