Lahore: The 36th death anniversary of Munawar Zarif, renowned actor and one of the finest comedians of the subcontinent ever produced, is being observed today.

Zarif was a famous icon of Pakistani cinema in the seventies. He worked in over 300 films and is regarded as an outstanding actor for many things, one being his out-of-script dialogue delivery.

Born in Gujranwala (a city in Punjab province of Pakistan) on February 2, 1940, the legend started his career in 1961 from a Punjabi film ‘Dandian’, but achieved a breakthrough in 1964 from the movie ‘Hath Jori’.

Having enjoyed 16-year awe-inspiring career, Zarif died on April 29, 1976 of a heart attack in Lahore.
