Actor Mohammad Yusuf Khan was born on December 11, 1922, in the Pakistani city of Peshawar. His screen name was suggested by Devika Rani, who in 1944 cast Jwar Bhata in his first film.

The nickname “King of Tragedy” with his good looks, tangled hair and deep voice, had a career spanning more than 50 years and nearly 60 films.
