Sabiha Khanum (Urdu: صبیحہ خانم) is a Pakistani film actress. She was the leading star of Pakistani cinema in the 1950s and the 1960s, and played successful character roles later.
Sabiha was raised in a conservative rural environment by her grandparents, but got her first opportunity on stage in Lahore after she moved there to be with her father. Most of Sabiha's movies were with her late husband, Santosh Kumar (Musa Raza). Sabiha and Santosh were highly regarded as performers on their own and a collective basis.
