Munawar Sultana (1924–2007) (her name in all her films opening credits), also written as Munawwar Sultana, was an Indian cinema actress, who acted in Hindi/Hindustani films.
She is cited as one of the "popular" actresses of the late 1940s to early 1950s period, along with Noor Jehan, Swarnalata and Ragini.
Her specialty was playing a selfless woman, enduring the rough treatment meted by her husband and family, but who eventually "brought her erring husband back home".She came into prominence with Mazhar Khan's Pehli Nazar (1945), her first film in a leading role.
A discovery of actor-producer-director Mazhar Khan, she became inundated with film offers, becoming one of the busiest actresses by 1949, along with other leading ladies such as Suraiya and Nargis.
Some of her successful films were Pehli Nazar, Dard (1947), Elaan (1947) Kaneez (1947), and Babul (1950).
