His first film was Aansoo, released in 1971. He worked in more than 150 films. Shahid quit working in films as a result of sub-standard film production in Pakistan film industry after he worked ZOR which was released in 1998. He made his comeback with film Wujood (2018) after a hiatus of 20 years.[1]
Personal life
Shahid's first wife, to whom he has been married for some 50 years, and to whom he remains married, is Begum Munaza Shahid. They were both very young when they were married, and the match was arranged by their families in the usual South Asian manner. They are blessed with three sons, Kamran, Imran and Zaheer. Their son Kamran Shahid is a noted TV anchor and hosts a show on the Duniya News (Pakistan) TV channel called On The Front with Kamran Shahid.
Islamic law permits a Muslim man to have up to four wives concurrently. In the early 1980s, while married to his first wife, Shahid also married and divorced three popular Pakistani actresses, Zumurrud, Ishrat Chaudhry and Babra Sharif. Begum Munaza Shahid accepted these marriages as par for the course, receiving and bidding goodbye to each of her co-wives with some grace.
