In�1966,�he�acted�in�Armaan�under�his�production�which�was�directed�by�Pervaiz�Malik.�Armaan�broke�all�the�box�office�records�at�that�time�and�completed�75�weeks�in�theatres,�gave�him�the�status�of�superstar�or�perhaps�the�first�superstar�of�Pakistani�films.�The�film�is�a�romantic�and�melodious�love�story.�The�songs�like�Koko�korina...,�Akele�na�jana...,�Betaab�ho�udhar�tum...�and�Zindagi�apni�thi�ab�tak...�sung�by�legendary�singer�Ahmed�Rushdi�became�extremely�popular�among�the�youth�especially�among�the�college�girls.�He�received�two�Nigar�awards�for�the�categories�best�producer�and�best�actor�for�the�film�Armaan.�During�the�same�year,�he�starred�in�another�superhit�film�Jaag�utha�insaan�with�co�star�Zeba.�This�fact�is�on�record�that�in�Zeba's�success,�Waheed�had�a�very�important�contribution�as�he�cast�her�in�his�films�and�brought�country�wide�fame�for�her.�

In�1967,�he�appeared�as�leading�actor�in�masterpieces�like�Devar�bhabi,�Doraha,�Insaaniyat�and�'Maan�baap.�Devar�bhabi�is�considered�as�one�of�his�best�movies�and�completed�50�weeks�in�the�cinemas.�The�story�of�Devar�bhabi�is�based�on�Indo�Pak's�unjust�social�thoughts�and�norms.�Insaaniyat�is�also�considered�as�one�of�his�best�movies�in�which�he�played�a�role�of�a�dedicated�doctor.�

From�1964�to�1968,�Waheed�Murad�and�Pervaiz�Malik�made�blockbusters�like�Heera�aur�pathar,�Armaan,�Ehsaan,�Doraha�and�Jahan�tum�wahan�hum.�The�successful�combination�of�Waheed�Murad,�Pervaiz�Malik,�Masroor�Anwar,�Sohail�Rana,�Ahmed�Rushdi�and�Zeba�created�a�number�of�successful�films.�Waheed�Murad�brought�Malik,�Anwar�and�Rana�under�the�umbrella�of�'Film�Arts'.�But�in�late�1960s,�dissension�grew�between�Waheed�Murad�and�other�three�team�members�of�'Film�Art'.�Pervaiz�Malik�was�not�happy�with�Waheed's�taking�away�the�credit�for�all�the�success�of�movies�and�giving�little�recognition�to�others.�So�the�Film�Arts�broke�up�and�Pervaiz�Malik�started�creating�his�own�projects�with�new�actors.�A�total�of�seven�films,�including�two�films,�i.e.,�Usey�dekha�usey�chaha�and�Dushman�released�after�a�long�gap�of�6�years�in�1974,�were�produced�with�the�combination�of�Waheed�and�Pervaiz�(but�not�under�'Film�Art'�Production).�

In�1969,�Waheed�produced,�wrote�and�directed�his�own�movie�Ishaara�but�the�movie�flopped�at�box�office.�Andaleeb�was�released�in�1969,�which�was�directed�by�Fareed�Ahmed.�Other�co�stars�included�Shabnam,�Aliya,�Talish�and�Mustafa�Qureshi.�Andaleeb�proved�to�be�one�of�the�greatest�films�of�the�year.�Moviegoers�loved�his�acting�esp.�in�the�song�Kuch�log�rooth�kar�bhi...�sung�by�Ahmed�Rushdi�in�which�Waheed�is�teasing�Shabnam�in�his�red�sports�car.[1]�Waheed�Murad�received�Nigar�award�in�the�best�actor�category�for�that�film.�Critics�are�unanimous�that�singer�Ahmed�Rushdi�had�a�significant�role�in�the�success�of�Waheed�Murad,�and�that�Rushdi's�voice�was�tailor�made�for�him.�

From�1970�to�1979,�many�of�his�films�were�superhit�like�Naseeb�apna�apna�and�Anjuman�in�1970;�Neend�hamare�khuwab�tumhare�and�Mastana�mahi�(Waheed's�first�Punjabi�film)�in�1971;�Baharo�phool�barsao�in�1972;�Ishq�mera�naa�(Punjabi�film)�and�Shama�in�1974;�Jab�jab�phool�khiley�in�1975;�Shabana�in�1976;�Saheli,�Parakh�and�Khuda�aur�muhabbat�in�1978;�and�Awaz�and�Bahan�bhai�in�1979.�Mastana�mahi�was�Waheed's�first�Punjabi�film,�which�was�also�produced�by�him�and�directed�by�Iftikhar�Khan.�Mastana�mahi�was�purely�a�romantic�musical�film.�Waheed�received�Nigar�award�for�the�best�actor�for�Mastana�mahi.�

During�early�1970s,�he�had�no�or�very�little�choice�in�selecting�his�co�stars.�Zeba,�after�her�marriage�with�Mohammad�Ali,�was�not�allowed�to�work�as�heroine�with�Waheed�Murad.�Soon�Shabnam's�husband�Robin�Ghosh�forced�her�to�not�work�with�Waheed.�Even�Nisho�was�not�allowed�to�work�with�him.�These�were�major�setbacks�for�Waheed's�

career.�Most�of�the�top�producers�offered�Waheed�secondary�roles�in�their�films�due�to�a�monopoly�against�him.�In�addition,�Nadeem�was�giving�him�a�stiff�competition�in�the�1970s.[1]�So�Waheed�had�been�cast�by�less�popular�directors�and�producers�and�had�been�given�the�role�of�'stereotypical�romantic�hero'.�Films�like�Naag�Mani�(1972),�Mastani�Mehbooba�(1974),�Laila�Majnu�(1974),�Izzat�(1975),�Dilruba�(1975),�Raaste�ka�pathar�(1976),�Mehboob�mera�mastana�(1976),�and�Naag�aur�nagan�(1976)�gave�him�major�setbacks.�By�late�1970s�and�early�1980s,�Waheed�was�being�cast�in�supporting�roles�either�with�Nadeem�or�with�Mohammad�Ali�in�the�films�like�Parastish�(1977),�Aadmi�(1978),�Khuda�aur�mohabbat�(1978),�Awaz�(1978),�Behan�Bhai�(1979),�Wadey�ki�zanjeer�(1979),�Raja�ki�aaye�gi�barat�(1979),�Zameer�(1980),�Badnaam�(1980),�Gun�man�(1981),�Kiran�aur�kali�(1981),�Gherao�(1981),�Ahat�(1982)�and�Maang�meri�bhar�do�(1983).�The�films�Hero�(1985)�and�Zalzala�(1987)�were�released�after�his�death.�Films�Muqaddar,�Aankhon�ke�taare,�Aas�paas�and�Andaaz�were�either�incomplete�films�or�not�released�by�the�producers.[11]�Hero�was�the�last�film�of�Waheed's�life,�directed�by�Iqbal�Yousuf.�The�film�was�released�after�almost�two�years�of�Waheed's�death�in�1985.�Another�Waheed's�delayed�film�Zalzala�was�released�after�4�years�of�his�death�in�1987,�which�was�also�directed�by�Iqbal�Yousuf.�Zalzala�did�nothing�at�the�box�office,�however,�Hero�completed�its�Silver�Jubilee�in�Karachi.�Muqaddar,�Aankhon�Kay�Taray,�Aas�Paas�and�Andaaz�were�the�films�that�were�either�left�incomplete�or�remain�unreleased�till�todate.�

Since�his�childhood�Waheed�was�being�given�an�exposure�to�leading�actors�of�that�time�who�used�to�visit�his�father�regularly�and�inspired�him�to�pursue�an�acting�career.�In�his�childhood,�he�used�to�wear�a�guitar�around�his�neck�and�was�famous�as�a�good�dancer�among�his�friends.�In�his�school�life�he�played�parts�in�several�plays,�which�made�him�more�popular.�His�best�friends�were�Iqbal�Yousuf�and�Pervaiz�Malik,�who�joined�the�same�profession�Waheed�joined,�and�were�remained�associated,�esp.�Iqbal�Yousuf,�with�him�for�the�rest�of�his�life.�

Waheed�Murad�and�Pervez�Malik�were�childhood�friends.�After�completing�graduation�both�expressed�desire�for�higher�education�abroad,�since�Wahid�was�the�only�child�of�his�parents,�he�was�not�allowed�to�go�abroad,�but�Pervez�Malik�gone�for�masters�in�film�production�in�California,�USA.�Meanwhile,�Waheed�enrolled�for�Masters�in�English�Literature�at�the�University�of�Karachi.�He�was�the�first�actor�who�had�a�master’s�degree�in�Pakistani�film�industry.�Pervez�returned�homeland�four�years�later�and�became�the�only�film�director�to�hold�a�master’s�degree�in�film�production�from�the�University�of�California.[14][15]��

Marriage�

Waheed�Murad�had�a�sort�of�liking�towards�Salma,�a�daughter�of�Karachi�based�industrialist�and�a�Memon�Ibrahim�Maker,�when�both�were�in�grade�nine.�Their�marriage�took�place�on�Thursday,�17�September�1964.�The�wedding�ceremony�was�arranged�at�Nisar�Murad's�house�at�Tariq�Road,�Karachi.�He�addressed�his�wife�as�Bibi�at�home.�They�had�two�daughters�(Aaliya�and�Sadia)�and�one�son�(Adil).�Sadia�died�in�infancy�and�both�Waheed�Murad�and�Salma�became�inconsolable.�However,�their�two�children,�Aalia�and�Adil�brought�happiness�and�comfort�to�their�lives.�

Days�of�struggle�

By�late�1970s,�Waheed�was�being�cast�in�supporting�roles�either�with�Nadeem�or�with�Mohammad�Ali,�or�being�offered�by�'B�class'�film�directors.�Most�of�the�leading�heroines�like�Zeba,�Shabnam�and�Nisho�were�not�allowed�to�play�lead�roles�with�Waheed�by�their�husbands.�The�heart�throbing�actor�Waheed�Murad�could�not�take�such�an�ignominious�treatment�meted�

out�to�him�by�industry,�but�kept�silent�and�did�not�seek�help�from�his�friends.�Pervaiz�Malik,�who�was�became�an�established�director�and�producer�by�late�seventies,�wrote�in�a�local�newspaper:�"Not�even�once�during�that�time�Waheed�come�to�me�seeking�work�in�my�films."[1]�Waheed�was�becoming�depressed.�His�close�friends�revealed�that�he�was�becoming�addicted�to�alcohol,�oral�tobacco�and�sleeping�pills.�Even�his�domestic�life�suffered�and�his�wife�Salma�left�for�the�United�States.�A�combination�of�bad�habits�and�stress�caused�ulceration�in�Waheed's�stomach�in�1981.�He�suffered�from�bleeding�and�had�to�undergo�stomach�removal�to�save�his�life.�His�many�fans�came�to�the�hospital�to�donate�blood�to�save�the�life�of�their�favourite�hero.�Although,�he�recovered,�he�lost�a�significant�amount�of�weight.�Even�then,�Iqbal�Akhtar�and�Iqbal�Yousuf,�who�proved�to�be�real�friends�in�difficult�times,�cast�Waheed�Murad�in�their�movies.�Waheed�appeared�pathetic�in�Dil�ney�phir�yaad�keya�and�Ghairao.�Even�his�loyal�admirers�felt�that�it�was�all�over�for�him.�

In�1983,�Anwar�Maqsood�–�a�famous�TV�writer�and�anchor�and�a�close�friend,�invited�Waheed�to�his�TV�comedy�show�Silver�Jubilee.�At�only�90�pounds,�Waheed�appeared�pencil�thin�on�the�screen,�but�attempted�to�put�up�a�brave�front.[1][16]�

However,�the�keen�observers�could�see�that�Waheed�would�be�unable�to�spellbind�the�public�as�he�did�in�the�past.�Only�during�the�singing�of�Tumhe�kaisey�bata�doun...�by�Aalamgir�in�the�Silver�Jubilee�show,�Waheed's�smiles�reflected�a�shadow�of�his�former�self�probably�in�his�mind�he�was�still�the�young�hero�20�years�earlier.�

Babra�Sharif,�a�top�actress�of�the�time,�revealed�that�during�filming�of�a�scene�of�Hero,�Waheed�lost�his�balance�while�walking�briskly�toward�her�and�fell�down.�He�took�several�minutes�to�catch�his�breath�prior�to�standing�up�on�his�feet�again.[1]�

In�July�1983,�Waheed�was�driving�his�car�too�fast,�one�of�his�favourite�hobbies,�his�car�struck�a�big�tree.�Waheed�had�a�narrow�escape,�but�was�left�with�a�large�scar�on�his�face.�A�few�days�after�the�accident,�Waheed�asked�his�friend�Pervaiz�Malik�for�a�role.�Malik�knowing�that�Waheed�was�not�ready�for�an�acting�assignment�said,�"Veedu�you�get�better�and�you�will�be�the�lead�in�my�next�film."�With�his�still�razor�sharp�mind,�he�replied,�"You�give�me�the�role�and�I�will�get�better."�He�was�going�to�Karachi�to�get�the�scar�fixed�in�order�to�complete�the�last�few�scenes�of�Hero�when�he�met�the�chief�editor,�Ilyas�Rasheedi,�of�the�film�magazine�'Nigar'�at�the�airport.�Rasheedi�wrote�in�his�magazine:�

"By�chance�a�famous�film�producer�was�also�present�in�the�waiting�area�and�Waheed�put�him�on�the�spot�by�asking�if�he�had�a�role�for�him�for�Javed�Sheikh's�father�in�his�movie.�The�producer�had�a�difficult�time�dodging�Waheed."[1]�

During�the�flight�Waheed�was�very�bitter.�He�told�Rasheedi�that�he�was�reduced�to�working�in�a�Pushto�film�produced�by�Badar�Muneer,�who�used�to�be�his�car�driver�and�help�him�with�his�household�work�in�the�late�sixties,�and�subsequently�became�a�successful�movie�star.�

Waheed's�son�Aadil�was�in�Karachi�staying�with�his�grandmother.�A�day�before�his�face�surgery,�Waheed�celebrated�his�birthday.�He�bought�several�gifts�for�Aadil�and�wished�him�a�happy�year.�He�returned�late�to�spend�the�night�at�Anita�Ayub's�mother�Mumtaz�Ayub's�home.�When�Waheed�did�not�wake�up�until�late,�the�door�had�to�be�forced�open�and�Waheed�was�found�lying�on�the�floor,�dead�for�several�hours.�A�paan�leaf�with�'something'�in�it�was�found�in�his�mouth.�Nobody�knows�for�sure�if�it�was�a�heart�attack�or�suicide.[1][17]�Waheed�was�buried�near�his�father's�grave�in�Gulberg�Graveyard,�Ali�Zeb�Road,�Lahore.�

A�few�months�before�his�death,�Waheed�Murad�as�well�as�other�actors�and�singers�had�appeared�on�a�show�to�pay�Ahmed�Rushdi�a�tribute,�many�of�those�same�people�appeared�on�the�show�six�months�later,�reminiscing�about�Waheed.[18]�

Legacy�

His�contribution�to�art�and�films�in�Sub�Continent�is�unanimously�considered�as�revolutionary�by�all�the�film�critics.��His�acting�style�is�being�taught�in�Indian�and�Pakistani�film�institutions.[23]��He�is�considered�as�one�of�the�pioneering�Rock�n'�Roll�stars�of�Pakistan.�Due�to�his�romantic�and�alluring�style�of�acting,�he�became�famously�known�as�the�“Chocolaty�Hero”�and�“Lady�Killer”.�His�hair�cut,�dressing�style�and�even�his�conversation�style�were�very�popular�among�the�youth.�One�can�say�that�he�was�the�cultural�icon�of�the�Pakistani�Film�Industry.�Once�he�went�to�Saddar�area�of�Karachi�in�his�white�car.�Realizing�that�it�was�his�car,�a�group�of�30�college�girls�covered�the�vehicle�with�lipstick�kisses.[12]�

The�rise�and�fall�of�Waheed�is�quite�similar�to�that�of�Elvis�Presley�and�analogies�have�been�drawn�between�these�two�icons.�According�to�a�film�critic,�Waheed�Murad�was�like�Elvis�Presley�who�enjoyed�early�success,�the�status�of�being�the�most�mesmerising�personality�of�his�country.�He�earned�great�fame�and�then�faced�a�sudden�fall�and�had�an�untimely�death.[19]��Despite�the�Islamisation�of�Pakistani�society,�downfall�of�Pakistani�film�industry,�destruction�of�major�cinemas�of�Karachi�and�Lahore,�and�dominancy�of�Bollywood�films,�his�films�are�still�shown�on�film�festivals,�cinemas�and�TV�and�are�well�received.[1]��

Rajesh�Khanna,�an�Indian�actor,�said�in�his�interview�with�Shama�Delhi�magazine:�

Waheed Murad in his last film Hero (1985) with Babara Shareef

"After�seeing�a�lot�of�movies�of�Waheed�Murad,�I�admit�he�was�a�really�great�actor�and�I�admire�his�matchless�acting�performance."[20]�

Ilyas�Rashidi,�the�founder�of�Nigar�Awards,�wrote�in�his�magazine:�

"Waheed�Murad�was�a�born�hero."�

Ghulam�Mohiuddin,�a�Pakistani�film�actor,�said:�

"Waheed�Murad�was�not�an�individual�but�he�was�an�era�in�his�own�right�which�ended�when�he�was�sidelined�by�those�who�took�over�the�industry�in�the�early�1980s,�...�he�was�a�great�artiste,�who�recreated�the�image�of�a�romantic�hero.�His�acting�was�natural;�he�had�a�great�deal�of�musical�sense�and�was�matchless�when�it�came�to�picturising�a�song."[19]�

Lehri,�a�Pakistani�film�comedian,�said:�

"He�was�a�great�companion,�an�unforgettable�friend�and�a�humble�man�so�rich�in�terms�of�money�and�fortunes."[19]�

Sangeeta,�a�Pakistani�film�director�and�actress,�said:�

"For�me,�it�was�a�great�time�when�I�had�been�working�with�him."[19]�

In�the�recent�Hollywood�film�Agent�Cody�Banks�2:�Destination�London,�actress�Leilah�Isaac’s�character�Sabeen�remembers�Waheed�Murad.�Frankie�Muniz,�reprising�his�role�as�Agent�Cody�Banks,�discloses�to�his�cosmopolitan�band�members�that�he�is�a�secret�agent.�To�this,�a�Nigerian�boy�claims�to�be�Spider�Man�while�another�girl�calls�herself�Lara�Croft.�As�the�actors�associate�themselves�with�their�favourite�comic�book�characters,�Sabeen�says:�"And�I’m�Waheed�Murad."�This�entices�all�to�ask�"what?"�to�which�she�replies,�"Famous�Indian�actor!"[21]�

Waheed�Murad�was�a�superb�actor�and�probably�one�of�the�best�whoever�graced�Lollywood.�His�failure�in�movies�was�not�owing�to�lack�of�talent.�In�fact,�he�was�the�most�stylish�and�original�actor�in�Pakistan.�He�improved�the�image�of�industry�by�shining�through�their�mediocre�scripts;�they�repaid�him�by�contributing�to�his�downfall.�Bad�luck,�his�own�strong�personality�and�rendezvous�with�several�actresses�also�ruined�him.�He,�however,�still�lives�on�in�the�hearts�of�millions�of�fans.�As�his�daughter�Aaliya�said:�

"If�Dad�knew�that�he�had�such�a�following,�he�would�not�have�died."[1]�
