Ajab Gul (Pashto: عجب گل) is a Pakistani actor, film director, producer and music director who predominantly works in Pashto-language cinema. He has also worked in Urdu-language as well Punjabi-language cinema.[1][2]
Early life and education
Ajab Gul was born on April 15, 1964, in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. He completed his primary and secondary education at Army Public School (APS) Peshawar. During his student years, he trained in martial arts. After earning a Master’s degree in Pashto from the University of Peshawar, he began his acting career at the Pakistan Television (PTV) Peshawar Center, making his television debut in the Urdu-language drama serial Mausam (1984).[2]
Career
Acting
Ajab Gul has starred in commercial films such as Yaar Baash, Sharabi, and Kyun Tum Say Itna Pyar Hai, as well as critically acclaimed films like Dukhtar.[3] He has also appeared in a number of successful television serials including Fareb, Girift, Pyas, Sooraj Kay Sath Sath, Musefatein, Pathar, Ghulam Gardish, Tawan, Chashman, Dastar, and Sheharzaad.
Theatre
His theatrical play Janam Janam ki Maile Chadar set a record in South East Asia with 1,680 consecutive performances.
Directing
Gul made his directorial debut with the film Khoey Ho Tum Kahan (KHTK), which had a modest but successful theatrical run upon its release in 2001. The film was praised for its soundtrack, composed by Zain, and for its cinematography. Its success reportedly inspired a similar Indian production, Humraaz, released in 2002.
