Waheed Murad and Majid Khan: Separated via professions, conjoined by destiny 4

It was 34 years back on 23 November, when Waheed Murad, the most famous star of Pakistan industry, left us for the eminent habitation. An on-screen character, maker and executive, Murad worked in more than 120 motion pictures, delivering twelve of them himself. 

There were no questions about his exceptional method for acting, yet his effect went past the motion pictures. His hair style was trailed by young men, young ladies kept his photo in their course-books. His dressing sense and discussion style is as yet adjusted by numerous. Waheed Murad figured out how to change the substance of the business, however couldn't support the evolving times. 

Waheed was a multi-capable star, he was calm while doing activity arrangements, had no match as a sentimental lead, show was never an issue for him while his comic planning was unmatchable; he is the just a single to have been alright with all the first class humorists. 

Conceived on second October 1938, Waheed entered the film business as a maker in 1961, with Insaan badalta hai. He was one of the most youthful makers around at only 23. His dad, Nisar Murad, was in the film conveyance business before segment and was all around associated in the business. In the wake of functioning as a supporting performer in a few movies, it was in December 1964, when Waheed made his undeniable 'introduction' as an on-screen character/maker with Heera aur Pathar. 

Pakistan was, in those days, a quiet nation, pushing forward under President Ayub Khan. TV was presented soon thereafter, weeks before Presidential decisions of January 1965, which pitched Ayub Khan against Fatima Jinnah. The nation was advancing in different fields also with the amazing humorist and TV big name Anwar Maqsood influencing his artistic creation to make a big appearance in Karachi. Games were additionally getting acknowledgment for the youthful country. Pakistan won the silver decoration in hockey occasion at Tokyo Olympics, (they won the Gold at Rome 4 years sooner), Aftab Jawaid won the beginner British Open Squash title, while the cricket group had no under six players enlisted to confront Aussies at Karachi. 

There was someone else who quietly made his introduction in 1964, however changed the amusement in a matter of years. His pinnacle period was like Waheed Murad, making him an indistinguishable twin from multiple points of view. It was Majid Jehangir Khan. 

Both of Waheed and Majid had a similar birth star 'Libra', had compelling fathers, a productive ascent, an adoration for English writing, unbelievable sideburns, athletic edge, remained the dear of the group and had an unexpected and dismal end to their magnificent professions. 

Like the senior Libran, Majid Khan entered 'his field' in 1961, scoring a century on top of the line make a big appearance for Lahore and getting 6 wickets in an innings. He was only 15 years and 46 days around then. 

Conceived on 28th September 1946 in Jullundar to Dr Jehangir Khan, who had spoken to All-India Cricket group on its visits to England in 1932 and 1936, Majid had cricket in his veins. A quick bowler amid the early piece of a profession, he influenced his test to make a big appearance in Karachi, where Waheed was occupied with his introduction generation, featuring in the number one spot. Majid remained 'the child of the man whose conveyance had executed a sparrow' until August 1967, when he hit off-spinner Roger Davis for five sixes of every an over at Swansea.(Legendary Garry Sobers bettered the record by hitting six, the precise one year from now at a similar ground when Majid was a piece of Glamorgan by at that point). 

By at that point, Waheed Murad's third generation Ehsaan was rushing to pressed houses in Pakistan. Waheed had set up himself as a megastar with films like Kaneez, Dever Bhabi, Insaaniyat and Josh. 

Majid was compelling in helping Glamorgan lift the district title in 1969, following a hole of 20 years. A 23-year-old Majid intended to think about further at Cambridge and was wanting to leave Glamorgan. Serenades of his name at the festivals by the group influenced him to promise his arrival after his examinations. 

The mid 70s saw the best of the two stars. Waheed was one of the two on-screen characters who was viewed as 'a beyond any doubt shot to progress'; with Mastana Mahi (1971) he ventured in Punjabi film industry as a victor. Concerning Majid, he was named Wisden Cricketer of the year in 1970, after his prosperity with Glamorgan County. 

Majid was a sharp defender, an incidental off-break bowler and an up-to-date batsman, which settled on him a programmed decision for any fantasy group. 

Waheed had the credit of delivering Pakistan's first Platinum Jubilee film Armaan in 1966, (his second excursion as performer/maker), while Majid had the pleasure to score Pakistan's first century in restricted overs cricket, in just his second match. His initially test century was scored a year sooner in 1973. With Sadiq Muhammad, Majid shaped the best opening pair for a long time. 

In 1975, Waheed Murad worked in a few multi-star super hit films, while Majid was among the best scorers at the inaugural World Cup. The finish of 1976 ticked Waheed's profession with his first Diamond Jubilee film Shabana, while Majid Khan turned into the fourth player in the historical backdrop of the diversion to score a century prior to lunch on 30th October 1976. 

Their professions crashed with the begin of 1979 with particular upheavals. Waheed's last hit Awaaz was discharged in October 1978, with an outfit cast of Muhammad Ali, Shabnam, Naghma and Ghulam Mohiuddin. He was a casualty of the VCR intrusion, which destroyed the silver screen business by late 70s. Individuals used to get video tapes of Indian motion pictures for as low as 10/ - , and wanted to remain home and watch movies of better quality, as opposed to take their family to silver screens. The individuals who were not attached to Indian films leased the 'restricted' cricket matches played in Australia where the World XI would go up against the Australian XI or West Indies XI. The cricket upheaval by Kerry Packer had numerous cricketers from Pakistan, Majid among them. It is generally trusted that at a recently laid contribute Melbourne's VFL Park in January 1979, a bouncer from Andy Roberts hit Majid Khan so gravely that it cracked his cheekbone. He moved down the batting request soon thereafter, staying away forever to the 'best'. 

Majid was a tranquil player, who tended to his very own concerns. He needed to wind up plainly Pakistan's first batsman to score 4000 runs yet was dropped from the side by Imran Khan, his cousin, who was selected chief in mid-1982. Majid was only 69 runs shy of the objective. 

It was January 1983, when Majid, similar to his introduction test, was expelled without scoring in his last innings. 

Waheed was finishing Hero in Lahore when Syed Kirmani got Majid off Kapil Dev at the Gaddafi Stadium. The 'legend' had almost recouped from a few wounds got a year sooner in a fender bender and needed to arrange a rebound with this film. 

For the most recent few years, Waheed had seen enough of manipulating and false guarantees from dear companions, which inevitably constrained him to return as maker after a long hole. His demise on 23rd November 1983 in Karachi, left Hero fragmented, which was discharged 14 months after the fact. 

The ways of Waheed Murad and Majid Khan may have once in a while crossed, yet none of them knew that their story could be so comparative. Their children made a decent attempt to emulate their example yet did not succeed. Bazid Khan made his test make a big appearance however is presently a commended reporter (Majid had a short stretch as a specialist), correspondingly, Adil Murad ventured into acting, yet is doing admirably underway, what his dad would have done initially. 

Waheed Murad and Majid Khan were imperative. However, Waheed Murad is no more with us, Majid Khan is as yet perfectly healthy and we appeal to God for his great wellbeing. 

Them two engaged the individuals who adored them till their last 'trip' and resembled their names; 'interesting' and 'great'. Their mystique can never be reproduced nor imitated. History of the country would have been extraordinary, had they adhered to their 'unique' parts.
