Kausar is the daughter of filmmaker K. Asif, famous as the producer and director of the epic film Mughal E Azam, by his third wife, the actress Nigar Sultana, who played the role of Bahaar in that film.
Kausar wanted to become an actress like her mother. Her father had died in 1971, just as Kausar was beginning her career, and this was a serious blow to her career dreams. It is also a fact that her father had few real friends in the film industry, and many who disliked him. Kausar she had to struggle a lot to get a foothold in the film industry. She took up whatever work was available and tried to make the best of it. She appeared in minor roles in a number of forgettable films as listed below. However, she could not get heroine roles.
In 1991, Kausar chose to marry the dreaded Indian gangster and underworld figure Iqbal Mirchi, becoming his second wife. She gave up acting and moved abroad to live with Mirchi. Her two subsequent releases are carry-overs from previous years. The marriage was childless, and Mirchi died of natural causes in 2013.[2] Kausar continues to reside in the United Kingdom after her husband's death.
