'''Heena Kausar''' is an Indian actress who appeared in several Hindi language films in the 1970s. She is the widow of the Indian gangster and underworld don Iqbal Mirchi.

==Biography== 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. Her father had few real friends in the film industry, and many who disliked him. Kausar took up whatever work was available and appeared in minor roles in a number of films, however failing in getting heroine roles.

In 1991, Kausar married the 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 were filmed before her marriage. The marriage was childless, and Mirchi died of natural causes in 2013.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Zaidi|first1=S Hussain|title=Tame end for Iqbal Mirchi|url=http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/others/Tame-end-for-Iqbal-Mirchi/articleshow/21849431.cms|accessdate=5 July 2015|work=Mumbai Mirror|agency=Bennett, Coleman & Co.
