Reshma's Musical Career
She was discovered by the director Subhash Ghai of hindi movie 'Hero' when he heard
her singing at a function in her village. Her most famous song is "Lambi Judai",
sung for that same film.
In October 2002, Reshma performed at the Brunei Gallery in London to a packed fall
of Pakistani expatriates. Even her daughter Khadija and Umayr also performed in
the same show.
Reshma's voice is the voice of the sand-dunes of Rajasthan, the desert, that has
produced valourous warriors and builders of magnificent forts and palaces, cities
and kingdoms, a land of wandering minstrels whose songs about the incomprehensibility
of this confounding world verily drape the dunes, where brave, strong, suffering
women glazed by the harsh and beautiful desert heave their sad sighs for release.
