Kumar and Saira Bano" of Pakistan's film industry.
“Shararat” (1964) was another popular film by him. Muhammad Ali
performed an unforgettable role in “Aag Ka Darya.”

has urged the cafeteria's cashier to retain his name in their
records with the same amount, and that he is willing to pay as
much money as is demanded to keep up the old records, since it
reminds him of those bad times.One of his famous dialogues in
movies was, "Maa main nay B.A. pass kar liyaa hai maa" (Mom, I
