description: "Meena Shorey was a Pakistani film actress who worked first in Indian cinema and later Pakistani cinema. She appeared in Hindi/Urdu and Punjabi films. She started her acting career playing a character role, as Ambhi, Raja of Taxila's sister in Sohrab Modi's Sikandar (1941). Married to her fourth husband, Roop K. Shorey, by the mid-1940s, she found fame when she acted in her husband's film Ek Thi Ladki (1949), opposite actor Motilal. The story was written by I. S. Johar, who also starred in the film. The foot-tapping music composed by Vinod became a huge hit, with Meena becoming an \"icon\" for the \"new liberated\" young women. Meena was acclaimed as the \"Lara Lappa Girl\", from the song of same title in the film."
