His name is Jamil. He lives in India (Hyderabad Deccan). He is first cousin to our TV artiste Rizwana Khan (kookoo) and Akhtar Aapa…mom to Huma the sis in law of Zeba Bakhtiar… based in Milwaukee now.
Jamil visited Karachi sometime during 1970. I met him at PTV-K when myself, Kookoo and Talat Hussain were recording PHATTA HUA COAT under Amir imam’s directions…Jamil was visiting KTV with Kookoo and his two cute daughters; Tabassum and Farah…around 4 & 5 of age. I remember meeting them..taking them in my lap and going around the station with biscuits etc from that fairly well maintained canteen. At one point Shahbaz Chaudhry and Qaiser Abbas at Design section…also joined to play with these two cute girls… and at that time no one could have ever thought that Tabassum would be TABU we see in Indian movies today..while her sis FARAH too fairly well into Indian_Showbiz…for years now.
Jamil…hmmmm, how did he look like?
Well..see for yourself…in this clip with our Saima Qureshi’s mom… ROZINA… in the movie SAZA where Jamil was betted as hero…much to the disdain of producer having lost the bet;

AND
Real name ISHRAT he was the most handsome, macho
blue eyed hero of Pak-movies of early 60’s…
His filmy name was DARPAN the younger brother
of Santosh Kumar (real name Moosa Reza).
They both married their colleagues;
Santosh to Sabiha Khanum
Darpan to Nayyar Sultana…
Quite a few movies went on box office…
including SAHELI which was the touch base
for Darpan-Nayyar marraige.
Here youn see one of the most enchanting song
picturized on DARPAN and DEEBA
beautifully sung by Mehdi Hasan
(I love it…)
