Renowned Actor Qazi Wajid Being Remembered

Veteran Actor Qazi Wajid is being remembered today on his seven death anniversary.

Qazi Wajid was one of the pioneers of Pakistan's Radio Industry. After remaining associated with the industry for 25 years, Wajid decided to switch careers and joined television in 1966.

The veteran actor was honoured with a Pride Of Performance Award in 1988 by the Government of Pakistan.

He was part of a number of Pakistan Television classics, including Dhoop Kinaray, Khuda Ki Basti and Tanhaiyan.

The role of Raja that Wajid played in Khuda Ki Basti became the reason for his fame on Television.
