While surfing on YouTube, I was happpily surprised to find followng songs by Runa Laila. Many of you may know that she is the world famous singer from Bangladesh. She has a huge contribution of singing Urdu songs in Pakistani movies. She has also sung Punjabi, Pashto and Bengali songs in Pakistan. Infact, she has sung in 17 different languages of the world.
In Pakistan, Runa Laila has won 2 Nigar Awards, 2 Graduate Awards, 1 Critics Award and a National Council of Music Gold Medal. Besides Pakistan she as won numerous awards in her native Bangladesh as well as in India. There is a large collection of her songs available on YouTube but I picked the 4 that I like the most. I hope you like them too.

I’m Bangladeshi and I would love to see Runa Laila singing Urdu songs again. If she did then other Bangladeshi artists would follow her and start singing in Urdu as well. It would bring Bangladeshi and Pakistani music industries closer.
Runa Laila, Shahnaz Rahamuttalah and Firdousi Rahman are very popular in India. I wish these singers take part in some of the music based Indian reality shows like ‘Saregamapa’, ‘Indian Idol’ as Guest singers or Judges. There are also many Bangla TV channels which would love to have these singers. Indians love you all.
@ Shahnaz Begum,
1. She was beautiful, I was in college.
2. She had a song ” Geo to is dharti kay nattay,
Maro to is kay naam ho oo
maro to is kay naam
Bandhein to yehi Bandhan Bandhein,
yun jina kis kaam ho,ooo
and she became more beautiful, since that day and still
today.
