Answer 1

The correct answer is Begam Akhtar.

Key Points

Begum Akhtar, whose full name was Akhtari Bai Faizabadi, is not a painter.
She was one of India's most famous Ghazal singers and was also well-known for singing Dadra and Thumri, traditional forms of Indian classical music.
She was given the title of 'Begum' after her marriage and 'Akhtar' was her pseudonym.

In contrast, Satish Gujral, Amrita Shergill, and Jamini Roy are all renowned painters in Indian art history.

Satish Gujral was known for his diversity in the arts;
Amrita Shergill was a pioneer of modern Indian art, often compared to legendary western artists, and
Jamini Roy was famous for his unique style which was inspired from the folk arts of Bengal.
