==Career==
Begum Para's first break turned out to be 1944 film ''Chand'', from Prabhat Studios in Poona. Prem Adib was the hero, and Sitara Devi was the vamp in the film. It did extremely well and Para started getting paid about Rs. 1500 a month. Soon after, she and her sister-in-law Protima made a film called ''Chamia'' (1945) based on the novel ‘Pygmalion’, which again was a huge success. Para signed a lot of films after Chamia, but she couldn’t quite establish herself as an actress. Because she had a highly scandalous image, people always gave her the role of glamour doll in most films. She didn't mind it because she always played herself on screen.<ref name="facts"/>

She did ''[[Sohni Mahiwal]]'' (1946) and ''Zanjeer'' (1947) with [[Ishwarlal (actor)|Ishwarlal]] and Dikshit; ''[[Neel Kamal (1947 film)|Neel Kamal]]'' (1947) with [[Raj Kapoor]]; ''Mehendi'' (1947) with [[Nargis]]; ''Suhaag Raat'' (1948) with [[Bharat Bhushan]] and [[Geeta Bali]]; ''Jhalka'' (1948); and ''Meherbani'' (1950) with [[Ajit Khan]].<ref name="para"/> She also worked in ''Ustad Pedro'' (1951), produced and directed by the then well-known actor, [[Sheikh Mukhtar]].
