Behroze Sabzwari (Urdu: بہروز سبزواری; born 1957) is an actor from Pakistan, appearing in films, on television, and in voice acting roles alike.[2]
Behroze began his career in Radio Pakistan as a radio presenter.[citation needed] In the late 1970s, he started his acting career by starring in a "live" television children's play Dadajan Nanajan. Behroze has appeared in a number of television commercials. He has also done many stage plays, including Mirza Ghalib Bandar Road Par.[citation needed] Mirza Ghalib Bandar Road Par was the famous play of Khawaja Moinuddin. This play was the earliest of Behroze's plays and introduced him to the TV viewers throughout Pakistan in the early seventies. However, he achieved fame through the PTV play Khuda Ki Basti in 1974 where he played the role of Nausha.[citation needed]
Behroze Sabzwari received the Pride of Performance on 23 March 2009, for his services to the Pakistani television industry for more than 40 years.[3]
During the PTV serial era, he became known for his role of playing Qabacha in the drama series Tanhaiyaan, with Bollywood actor Raj Kapoor also having acknowledged him.
When someone like Raj Kapoor messages you from India saying: 'Qabacha when you are in Bombay, you will stay with me,’ you know you are popular and loved.[4]
