One of the famous villains of the Hindi cinema is Raza Murad who has done more than 250 Hindi films. He is the son of the late Murad, who was the first cousin of veteran actress, Zeenat Aman. Raza Murad is also the nephew of late, Amanullah Khan, the writer of Pakeezah and Mughal-e-azam. It was in the 1960s when the actor began his journey in Hindi cinema. From playing the role of a brother in films to essaying the role of a villain, it was in the 1980s that Raza proved his worth as an actor to the nation. Apart from doing movies that were critically acclaimed, Raza’s love story was no less than a movie.
Raza Murad’s love story with Shahruk Murad
The actor, once in an interview with the Quint, shared details of his love story. He revealed that he had not even seen the picture of Shahruk as he had full faith in the choice of his mom. He shared that he had an arranged marriage, and surprisingly, even after their wedding date got fixed, he did not see the picture of Shahruk as he had full hope that his mom would select the right girl for him. In Raza Murad’s words:
“Meri jo shadi hui hai vo, arrange marriage hui meri. Aur tajjub ki baat toh ye hain ki har cheez settle hone ke baad, shadi ki date settle hone ke baad bhi, maine apni biwi ko dekha nahi tha. Dekhne ki baat toh door hai, maine unki tasveer bhi nahi dekhi thi. Kyuki maine tasveer bhi nahi dekhi thi aur meri mata ji, meri waalida ne unhe pasand kiya tha.”
