RAWALPINDI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 14th Aug, 2018 ) :Famous Ghazal singer Munni Begum mesmerized the audience here at Rawalpindi Arts Council (RAC) late Monday night and received a standing ovation from them.

The show continued late night as the audience requested Munni Begum to sing several Ghazals of their choice. The youngsters in the jam-packed hall not only danced to the melodious lyrics but made selfies with Munni Begum, who was in the city after quite a long time.
Born in Murshidabad, West Bengal, India, Munni Begum first started taking music lessons from the famous singer Ustad Khwaja Ghulam Mustafa Warsi.
