Shamim Ara Biography

A decade before partition, a popular dancer in Aligarh, Uttar Pardesh, India, gave birth to a girl and named her Putli.
At a very tender age, the daughter started receiving dancing lessons from her talented mother and subsequently became a skillful dancer herself.
The mother aspired to be an actress. However, her hopes could not be materialized. Presumably that inspired cute little Putli, in her later life, to fulfill her mother's unrealized dreams.
In 1956 putli alongwith her family came to Karachi to visit her relatives. Around that time, a reputed film director, Najam Naqui, who had migrated to Pakistan from India, happened to be in Karachi, as well.
He was in search of a young actress for his next movie.
By chance, Najam met this girl and he was stunned by her sheer beauty, facial expression and sweet smile smeared all over her innocent face.
To cut this long story short, Najam eventually found the ideal face which was perfect for his upcoming movie Additionally, he had a strong hunch that she was eminently suited for the role.
Thus Putli changed her name to Shamim Ara and became the lead actress of the film 'Kunwari Baywa' (1956, director: Najam Naqui, starring: Shamim Ara, Ayaz senior, Babbu Begum, Ishrat Sultana)
Bad luck, 'Kunwari Baywa' could not succeed at the box office. Still Shamim Ara became the heartthrob of innumerable moviegoers due to her electrifying performance in her debut film.
In the same year, director Roop k. Shori, who was also an immigrant from India, worked along with filmmaker J.C. Anand.
Both of them signed in Shamim Ara as a side heroine opposite Aslam Pervez, for the film 'Miss '56'
Shamim Ara who was in her twenties then, was on her way to fame. Moreover, on Elias Rashdi's advice she left Karachi and settled in Lahore.
Further, Rashdi also urged his colleagues to cooperate with Shamim Ara in her movie career.
Director Anwar Kamal Pasha, convinced of Shamim Ara's dedication, offered her a role in his historical movie, 'Anarkali.'
Shamim Ara smartly dubbed as 'Anarkali's youner sister, did full justice to her role. Her initial success, bolstered by later movies like 'Aalam Ara', 'Roop mati', 'Baaz Bahadur' and 'Raaz' gave her a boost.
Soon thereafter her identity began to emerge. Side by side, she continued to appear in the films which were produced in Karachi.
By the early 1960s, she had established herself as the foremost actress of the Pakistani cinema.
In Karachi she worked in director Jafar Bukhari's film 'Faisala', director Rafiq Rizvi's film 'Apna paraya', director Munawwar Rasheed's film 'Insaan badalta hai,' to name a few.
Shamim Ara, the great communicator, is an unobtrusively brilliant lady.
Speaking of acting, her performance kept getting better. She gained renown as the lead lady in numerous movies. As an actress, she worked altogether in ninety films.
Some of her films are mentioned here below:
'Wah ray zamanay', 'Do ustaad', 'Jaa'edad', (Shamim Ara's first Punjabi film), 'Bhabi', 'Izzat', 'Zameen ka chand', 'Qaidi', 'Zamana kya kahay ga', 'Mehboob', 'Inqilaab', 'Mera Qusoor kya', 'Shikari', 'Seema', 'Dulhan', 'Taangey wala', 'Baap ka baap', 'Tanha', 'Shabab', 'Maikhana', 'Pyar ki saza', 'Chingari', 'Haveli', 'Faishan', 'Dil kay tukray' 'Hamraz', 'Khilona', 'Aaliya', 'Paraye Aag', 'Wehshi' 'Ungaray', 'Suhaag' and 'Night club'.
Her quiet yet perfectly distinct voice is a tape recorder's dream. Her movies followed one another like so many withered leaves blown across the small lawn of time.
Pondering over her movie career as an actress, she characteristically emphasized, how much of a learning experience it was.
Shamim Ara is a diligent artist and has assiduously been honing her craft over the decades.
Further, Shamim Ara owes her rocket-like rise in the films to the highly competent film crew of the 1950s and '60s.
Furthermore, Shamim Ara's unforgettable role in the films 'Doraha', 'Saheli', 'Dil mera dharkan teri, 'Aanchal', 'Ik tera sahara', 'Meray mehboob', 'Jaan-e-Aarzoo', 'Parda', 'Majboor', 'Zaib-un-nisa' and 'Khawab aur zindigi', were positive, uplifting and truthful, when Pakistani cinema was at the height of its splendor.
Movies like 'Saiqa', 'Hill station', 'Zindigi aik safar hai', 'Waqt', 'Dil-e-bay taab', 'Aansoo bun gaye moti' and 'Khaak aur khoon' were not only monumental dramatic landmarks, but they were brought to life by an award-winning cast, as well.
Shamim Ara's commitment in the films like 'Naila', 'Aag ka darya', 'Saalgira' and 'Lakhoan mein aik' found their way to our brains by way of our hearts.
'Parooti' or 'Paaro', played by Shamim Ara in the film 'Deodas' was, indeed, the height of her caliber.
Over and above, Shamim Ara's distinction hinges on her being the first woman director of the Pakistan film industry.
However, her contributions extend beyond the direction.
Besides, her mastery of the brilliant direction always brightens the film and carries the day.
Hence there is no question about her understanding of the possibilities of the film direction.
Her first film as director was 'Jeeyo aur jeenay do', which was followed by high quality movies like 'Playboy', 'Meray apnay', 'Miss Hong Kong ', Miss Singapore', 'Miss Colombo', 'Lady smuggler' and 'Lady commando'.
Majority of the above-mentioned films were a success partly due to her exemplary direction, personal observation and prolong experience as an actress.
Also, luck has been on her side most of the time.
Years ago, news had been circulating about her chances of getting married to actor Mohammad Ali. But that did not workout for both of them.
Shamim Ara's first husband, Sardar Rind, died in a traffic accident. Later, she got married to Majeed Karim (Shamim Ara's second husband) which ended up in a separation.
After a while, she wedded film director Fareed Ahmed (Shamim Ara's third husband) which, too, ended in a divorce.
She married for the fourth time to filmmaker-writer, Dabeer-ul-Hasan. The screenplay of most of the films directed by Shamim Ara were written by Dabeer-ul-Hasan.

Shakeel (Yousuf Kamal)

Shakeel (Yousuf Kamal) Biography

Yusuf Kamal was born in 1938, in Bhopal, India, to a highly enlightened family. He shared the big world with his two younger brothers and a sister. Yusuf received his primary education in an English medium school, in the pre-partitioned India. Additionally, he also acquired education in a French missionary school in India.
Yusuf migrated to Karachi, Pakistan, along with his family in 1952. Young Yusuf had a flair for acting since his childhood. During his school days in Karachi, Yusuf regularly participated in the extra curricular activities. Soon after graduation, Yusuf made his presence felt in stage plays as well.
Yusuf Kamal changed his name to Shakeel and debuted in the 1966 film, ‘Honehar.’ Cast included Shakeel- Waheed Murad- Rukhsana- Tarannum- Kamal Irani. For Shakeel, the film ‘Honehar,’ was a challenge he met with ferocious gusto.
Shakeel’s first television play was ‘Naya Raasta,’ which was penned by Hasina Moin and telecast from Karachi television in 1971.
Essentially, Shakeel is a natural actor, who applies himself earnestly as a professional duty. Karachi television presented special Eid-ul-fitr play ‘Happy Eid,’ in the 1970s. Shakeel and Neelofar Abbasi, formerly known as Neelofar Aleem, came up with resplendent artistry and made ‘Happy Eid,’ a memorable play. In the final moments of the play, Shakeel wishes ‘Happy Eid,’ to Neelofar and she greets him with ‘Eid Mubarak.’ They looked right at each other and smiled. It was quite a smile.
The will to succeed is part of the Pakistani culture. Shakeel and Neelofar Abbasi teamed up again in Haseena Moin’s highly successful Karachi television drama serial, ‘Shehzori.’
The above statement rings too true to Shakeel. Dwelling on Shakeel’s immense artistic prowess, ‘Uncle urfi,’ could be ranked among the three greatest drama serials in Shakeel’s forty-year eventful career. Cast included Shakeel in the title role of ‘Uncle urfi,’ Shehla Ahmed as Beena, Qurban Jeelani as Shaheed bhai, Azra Sherwani as Ghazi, Jamshed Ansari as Hasnat bhai.
As the story goes, Shakeel, who is super-smartly dubbed as ‘Uncle urfi,’ takes interest in Beena. In reality, uncle urfi was desirous to make Beena happy. Logically, urfi should have taken Beena into confidence before doing her a favor. Instead, he kept her in the dark. The final moments of the last episode are fraught with pain and pathos.
Urfi tells Beena with certitude, ‘hamari shadi hogi to sara zamana deikhey ga.’ to which poor Beena replies, ‘kuchh shadiyaan dil kay weerano mein bhi to ho jaati hain, sirif khuda gawah hota hai.’
The emotionally charged conclusion of ‘Uncle urfi,’ was so unexpected that literally nobody was prepared for it. Indeed, Haseena Moin had instilled so much despair in its dialogues that thirty-two years later, it still stands as a classic in its bittersweet illustration of the unbreakable bond of family.
Further, Shakeel achieved enduring fame in Haseena Moin’s mega hit drama serial, ‘Un kahi.’ Cast included Shakeel as Taimur, Shehnaz Sheikh as Sana Murad, Javed Sheikh as Faraz, Saleem Nasir as Sheheryar, Jamshed Ansari as Timmi.
Initially, Taimur did not tolerated Sana Murad’s demeanor. But Taimur’s father-in-law, played by Qazi Wajid, suggests, ‘Taimur, logoan kay chehray parha karo, ye duniya ki sub say dil chasp kitaab hotay hain.’ That changed Taimur’s perception of Sana Murad and he managed to see the sincere girl behind the confused Sana Murad.
Most importantly, Shakeel’s numerous roles always heighten the sweetness of living. ‘Uroosa,’ is another popular television drama serial of Shakeel. Cast includes Shakeel- Ghazala Kaifi- Adnan Siddiqui- Mishi Khan.
As the story unfolds, Shakeel divorced his first wife, Ghazala Kaifi. Mishi Khan, who plays the title role of ‘Uroosa,’ happens to be the daughter of Shakeel from his first wife, Ghazala Kaifi. ‘Uroosa,’ wins everyone’s heart through her etiquettes. She weds Adnan Siddiqui, who lives next door.
All the Pakistani television drama serials deal very well with Shakeel, who plays them splendidly. Shakeel is also famous for his social services. He was proactive during the recent earthquake in Pakistan. Likewise, he takes active participation in anti smoking campaign. Furthermore, Shakeel conferred awards to the winners in the most recent Pakistani television award ceremony held in Karachi.
In recognition of his enormous contribution to the show business, Shakeel won the pride of performance award in 1992. Shakeel’s is a long, healthy, prosperous life, and a life really well lived.
The other day, Shakeel attended a function. Tens of hundreds of devoted admirers gathered around Shakeel and said, ‘hum Aap ka yaad gaar tareen kirdaar, ‘uncle urfi,’ kabhi na bhool payein gey.’

Shahid Biography

Pakistani film industry actor Shahid Hameed was the smiling heart throb whose entrance into Pakistani films was so earth-shaking, it literally casted a shadow on the trilogy of famous Pakistani actors Mohammad Ali, Waheed Murad and Nadeem in the late 1970’s. He is seen wearing a hippy-chic, mirror work embroidered Kurti paired with flat front flared pants; two and half inch heels and amber shades that were a style obsession with Shahid’s western peer, Ryan O’Neal.
Lollywood’s Shahid Hameed was the Don Juan of the Pakistani film industry during the 1970s. Although, his career span was for only a decade, from 1973-1983, but female hearts flickered copiously during those ten exciting years! Shahid Hamid made just over 200 films, most of them in Urdu. Shahid’s first film as a hero in Lollywood was 1973’s “Ek Raat” opposite famous Pakistani actress Deeba, who starred with him numerous times. But his career making role in Lollywood was as a villain, opposite Nadeem and Deeba in Pakistani movie “Aansoo”. 
After Pakistani film industry’s chocolate hero Waheed Murad lost favor with vacillating audiences, Shahid became the most romantic actor of Lollywood during his decade in film years. Like the archetypal star of that era, Shahid’s off camera frolics were almost as interesting as his real life. Shahid was married four times. Three of his marriages were to Pakistani film actresses, namely Zamarrud, Ishrat Chaudhry and Babra Sharif. His 1977 marriage to Babs (Babra Sharif) lasted only a few years.
