Controversies
- Jamal’s statement against popular Pakistani actress Mahira Khan in a morning show on ARY made him the subject of social media and T.V., news. Expressing his opinion, he said Mahira should be starred in a mother role instead of heroin or leading roles. His statement caused a stir in the Pakistani Showbiz industry. Mahira’s fans and many actors condemned his statement on their social media accounts. Following Jamal’s comment against forever young Mahira senior Director, producer and creative head of Hum TV Momina Duraid announced that Hum T.V., will not cast firdous in their projects.
- People had not yet forgotten his controversy that he again commented on the most liked performance of a very humble actor Imran Ashraf in ‘Ranjhaa Ranjhaa Kar Di’. Firdous claimed that roles like ‘Bhola’ had also been played in the past, but Imran has just acted, and his acting was not spontaneous. It was a simulation, not behaviour. Jamal further underestimated all the young actors by saying that they all are models and showpieces. However, Imran Ashraf responded in a very nice way through his social media account.
Showbiz Career
- Jamal began his showbiz journey in the middle of 1970 with a drama serial ‘Badnaami Day Toway’. It was a Hindko Drama. But very few people know that he actually started his career by assisting director Zahoor who was directing a Pashto Film in 1971. After his debut drama, he performed in 150 stage plays, 200 radio plays, 50 films and 300 television plays. Some of the notable acting projects of this veteran actor are ‘Deewar’, ‘Ruswaiyaan’, ‘Man Chalay Ka Saudaa’, ‘Pagal Ahmaq Bewaqoof’, ‘Sahil’, ‘Dhoop’, ‘Piyari’, ‘Waris’, ‘Sayebaan Sheeshay Ka’.
- Jamal’s work consists of all the Pakistani dialects. Rishta was his 1st commercial flick. ‘Anaarkali’ is his memorable theatre play, in which he played the role of Prince Saleem. Imtiaz Taj was the writer of this play. Now he has turned his attention to the direction and is running his own production company established in Lahore’s Central Plaza.
