This film proved to be a blockbuster and its songs Dil ke Armaan Aansoo Mein Beh Gaye made a place in the hearts of people. Salma became a superstar overnight with her first film. But while she got immense success in films, she had to face failures in her personal life. She fell in love, got married, but fate gave her betrayal and loneliness every time. Despite three marriages and four loves, today she is living a lonely life at the age of 68.
Journey from acting to singing
Salma Agha was not only a great actress but also a brilliant singer. She lent her voice to many films and her songs became as famous as her acting. After Nikaah, she worked in films like Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki, Phoolan Devi, Cobra, Pati Patni Aur Tawaif, Unche Log.

Salma Agha was born in 1954 in Karachi (Pakistan). Her father Liaquat Gul Tajik was a big businessman, while mother Naseerin was from a famous family.

Despite the heights of her career, her personal life was constantly surrounded by failures and broken relationships.
Four love affairs and three failed marriages
Salma Agha’s personal life remained in the headlines more than her films. Her first love was New York businessman Mahmood Sipra, but the relationship broke. After this came Pakistani actor Mehmood, for whom Salma even put her career at stake, but this relationship also failed. For the third time, she married actor Javed Sheikh, but they too got divorced after three years. Javed had said that Salma was of a very insecure nature. After this, Salma married famous squash player Rehmat Khan in 1989 and became the mother of two children, one of whom, Sasha Agha, also entered films. But this relationship also broke in 2010. In 2011, she married Dubai businessman Manzar Shah, but this relationship also ended in a few years. Today Salma Agha is living her life in anonymity and loneliness. Sometimes she sings ghazals, but she has completely distanced herself from films.
