In the early 50s, A.R. Kardar launched an ‘All India Beauty Contest’ to search for a new leading lady. The contest was sponsored by Kolynos toothpaste and Peace Kanwal was the winner of the contest. She was introduced as one of the leading ladies opposite Talat Mahmood in Dil-e-Nadaan (1953). Like her contemporary Chand Usmani, who was also a winner of Kolynos toothpaste contest, Peace’s career as a leading lady didn’t last very long. She was soon reduced to supporting roles in films like Barsaat Ki Raat (1960), where she played Madhubala’s friend. Aarti (1962) was her last film from the first phase of her career. After the release of Aarti (1962), she turned to painting and copper work and held several exhibitions abroad. After a gap of 18 years, she was seen in Chambal Ki Kassam (1980) in a supporting role. Chambal Ki Kassam was perhaps the last film of her career before she disappeared from the film scene.
