Educator and artist Salima Hashmi was acquainted with Madam Noor Jehan because the latter was friends with her parents Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Alys Faiz. Hashmi also made a documentary, Noor Jehan: The Song Remains, on the life and times of the singer as a posthumous tribute to a woman whom she regards as a “survivor.”
