September 21, 1988. She appeared in Alam Ara, the first talkie in India (1931).

Early
years
Zubeida was the daughter of Nawab Sidi Ibrahim Muhammad
Yakut Khan III of Sachin State and Fatima Begum. She was born in 1911 in the Gujarati
city of Surat in western India. She had two actress sisters named Sultana and
Shehzadi. She was one of the few young women who entered the film industry at a
period when it was not viewed as a suitable career for ladies from respectable
homes..
Career
When Zubeida made her Kohinoor debut at age 12, she was just
twelve. Along with Sultana, who by this time had established herself as one of
Indian cinema's most beautiful leading women, she made sporadic appearances on
film during the 1920s. [2] Kalyan Khajina, a 1924 movie, featured the two
sisters. Their mother, Fatima Begum, played a significant role in Zubeida's
first big-budget movie, Veer Abhimanyu, which was released two years earlier.
In Alam Ara, Zubeida is seen with Master Vithal (1931)
Zubeida released nine films in 1925, among them Kala Chor,
Devdasi, and Desh Ka Dushman. She played the lead role in her mother's movie
Bulbul-e-Paristan a year later. Her favourite films from 1927 were Laila Majnu,
Nanand Bhojai, and Naval Gandhi's Sacrifice.
