Sabiha Khanum and Santosh Kumar at a charity cricket match during the heyday of the Pakistani film industry in the 1950s. After being a successful couple on screen, the two got married.
"We were such good friends and yet both of us were so shy that we never confessed our love to each other," Sabiha Khanum said in a 2012 interview. "In fact, one day, on a movie set, Santosh came and handed me a wedding card - his own. I was devastated. I thought what kind of a man is he that he won't confess his love to me and is getting married to another woman? But after a few years, I guess we found the courage to admit to ourselves and each other that we were deeply in love. It was a companionship we couldn't do without."
