His most memorable drama is Guest House which is considered as one of PTV Classics even today. He made two serials on Kashmir Independent Movement namely Angaar Wadi & Laag. He also acted in both these serials. He also a made a feature movie ‘Laaj’.
This is such a heart breaking news, can’t believe it so I googled and it is indeed true that the legend is no more with us
Angaar wadi and Laag are his masterpieces for which Rauf Khalid will always remain in our hearts and memories. Allah Rauf sb ki maghfirat farmaye aur inn kay darjaat buland farmaye, aamin. This is such a sad news :(((
