Ilyas Rashidi had acquired experience in the field of entertainment journalism through his association with his elder brother Umer Azad's daily newspaper Anjum, which had just shifted its offices from Delhi to Karachi after independence of Pakistan.

Ilyas Rashidi had initially chosen the design of a lady statuette, but during the Islamic dictatorial rule of President General Zia-ul-Haq and his regime, the statue design changed into the present textual design.5
Arrangements
Instead of the usual practice of envelope opening, the award committee prints the names of the winners on the back of the invitation cards that are sent to all invitees. This removes the charm of the suspenseful moments to the attendees.
Despite of this, the award committee has strict rules of only considering the candidacy of those films and television shows that are nominated for the awards and their copies are provided by the film makers or distributors to the committee.
Madam Noor Jehan s name evokes countless articles books discussions but strangely anecdotes and analysis don t reveal the real person Some praise her without knowing much about her while others vilify her on hearsay Most know of her seven decades of theatrics both on reel and in real life without realising the struggle dedication perseverance and sacrifices she made to get there From a miserly past of poverty and ill fame she conquered the subcontinent and rose to glory wealth and undying stardom Fame literate feminist progressive liberal an iconoclast and not just a singer Noor Jehan was the last century s bona fide icon Defying the 40s specified norms she broke every rule and not only stood up for herself as emotionally self reliant but made her personality such that people pined for more of her Affable in a coterie of silver screen actresses where all the women were tarred with the same brush Noor Jehan s witty retorts calculated intimacy self deprecating manner combined with the immense self confidence of a woman who had seen and experienced everything made her flagrantly eclectic In the early days before song recording became available singers had to accompany actors on location and sing from behind the camera Later when recording techniques became available singers had to start all over again if a musician made a mistake Throughout the 40s Noor Jehan continued making films and playback singing Awaz De Kahan Hai 1946 super hit song from Anmol Ghari became synonymous with Noor Jehan In 1959 Nigar Awards introduced the best singer category and the first award went to Noor Jehan for the film Koel s Dil Ka Diya Jalaya composed by the genius Khursheed Anwar and written by Tanveer Naqvi She won again in 1967 69 71 90 and 91
