Mohd Rafi was from Kotla Sultan Singh, Punjab, India, part of Amristar Dist.

Yousuf Khan aka Dilip Kumar – Being born in 1922 & as the family relocated to Mumbai in the 1930s and in the early 1940s, much before he even thought of becoming an actor…

Adnan Sami – Adnan Sami was born, brought up and educated in London, United Kingdom. His father, Arshad Sami Khan was a pilot with the Pakistan Air Force and a Pakistani diplomat and his mother hails from an Indian Muslim family. Sami began taking lessons from Pandit Shivkumar Sharma when visiting India during his school vacations. Indian singing legend Asha Bhosle spotted talent in a ten-year-old Sami at an R D Burman concert in London, and encouraged him to take up music as a career.

Any More !!!

By the way he lived during the periods of Amitabh, only that he did not grow old with him, had the same period, maybe as you said he did not get exported to India (regrets).

Don’t you have anybody like Shahrukh, why do u want to wake up the dead now…

He came from a a highly educated and distinguished family, a fact not publicized during his glittering silver screen days.

We will always remember him with fondness and affection even as we celebrate his unique, passionate and creative contribution to a the golden days of Pakistani cinema. Its truly amazing how alive he is in the hearts and memories of many even today.

“Mujhe Tum Nazar Se” is, to me, the best song of the bunch though I loved the metaphor of “Abr e karam” as well.

Growing up in India, we never knew of Pakistani movies and until Mehdi Hassan came to India in the early Eighties, we did not know the music either. In fact, it was only later that I discovered that Hasan was a movie singer as well and in fact I knew of the Do Raha song, thanks to him rather than the movie hero, who seems to be the biggest thing of the time, reading the comments here but Waheed Murad, a handsome man, was not known to us – a shame!

The other interesting thing of course, watching the You tube videos, was the affinity of the Indian and Pakistani movies in that epoch, including the hip swinging dance around the debonair man.

Waheed Murad was my favorite hero at my teen age. I always went to see his movie whenever it released in cinemas. He was the best in picturing the romantic songs.

Although his emotional dialogue delivery was never at his best but other kind of scenes he picturized in the best possible ways. May Allah grant him Jannah.
Amen

I remember how hard I tried to ape Wahid Murad’s hairstyle when I was a teenager. He was an icon, an epitome of a romantic hero.

Correct me if I am wrong, Heera and Patthar was his first movie as a hero. Zeba played the leading female role in the movie. I still remember a romantic song Waheed Murad gave lip to in that movie – mujhe ek ladki se piyar ho gaya. It became very popular among the young folks.

As far as I recall, Waheed Murad went into deep depression as his popularity plummeted. He started using drugs to ride it out. Drug and depression led to various health complications, which eventually caused his early demise.

Wahid Murad will stay alive in the heart of the people who were young during the peak of his career. This unforgettable star infused romanticism in our mind in a way only one or two others did. I wish him well in his life hereafter.

Indeed Wahid Murad was an excellent Actor and almost every one loved him.
I was a Teenager and I had my hair style and dress just like Wahid Murad and people use to say I resemble him, look just like him.

May God bless you all and bring PEACE and LOVE in Pakistan.
Ameen

This guy is not handsome. He was an average actor that is all.

If he would have been alive he would have enjoyed fame like Amitabh bachan is enjoying in this old age. And if he was in his younger years in this era he would have been greater than Shahrukh Khan! Pakistani industry has sunk many of the talent in the gutters! There is no level of appreciation here. We have exported permanently many of the greatest talents to Indian industry just because of not giving them an opportunity. For example, Mohammad Rafi, Yousaf Khan aka Dulip Kumar, Adnan Sami Khan and many more!!!
