Amazing Pakistani Artists
Waheed Murad
'Chocolati Hero' is a unique title which Waheed Murad continues to enjoy even decades after his demise. The unique title is all about his looks, acting style and a unique character that he brought to Pakistani silver screen. His magic was unprecedented and went away with him never to come back again. Whether it was youthful characters or those requiring sober dialogue delivery, Waheed Murad got appreciation in all of his work. He acted in more than 100 films and got numerous awards and continued to enchant Pakistani cinema with his style and acting.
His work was not limited to Urdu films only as he was a successful name in Punjabi films as well. He died in November 1983.
Perhaps a befitting tribute to his services is that he was remembered even two decades after his death; when in 2011 Government of Pakistan conferred the award of Sitara-e-Imtiaz to him posthumously as a Lifetime achievement.
