Her career as a playback singer did not last more than five years. In the 1960s, she gave the audience memorable songs like "Phooler hawa laglo," "Tumi jiboney moroney amaye apon korechho" and "Saiyan bedardi mora dard na jaane re," an Urdu song from the superhit film "Chanda." The last mentioned was hugely popular in both East and West Pakistan. Farida Yasmin bade adieu to playback singing at a time when she had opportunities unbound to be in the limelight. Recently, the seasoned artiste has re-emerged on the music scene, with an intention to promote her daughter, Shahreen Sonia, an aspiring singer. The Daily Star caught up with the veteran artiste.
