Hüma Hatun
Hatice Âlime Hüma Hatun (), Valide Sultan wife of Murad II and mother of Mehmed II, the Ottoman Sultan, also known as Fatih Sultan Mehmed (Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror), was born in the Devrekani county of Kastamonu Province in modern day Turkey. Every year, people in Devrekani commemorate her birth as part of the "Celebrations for the Conquest of Istanbul." Little is known of her family background, apart from the fact that an Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hatun binti Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah); which implied that her father had converted to Islam (Abdullah, meaning Servant of God, was the anonym that was used to describe the male citizens who converted to Islam in the classical Ottoman period.) and thus a native Greek.

John Anagnostes
John, called Anagnostes (i.e lector, reader; ) was a Greek historian of the fifteenth century. He was an eyewitness to the Ottoman sack of Thessalonica on March 29, 1430; an event he described in detail in his "Account of the Last Capture of Thessalonica" (), which he wrote with an accompanying monodia lamenting the city's fall.

John Cananus
John Cananus or John Kananos () was a Byzantine Greek historian who lived during the first half of the fifteenth century. He wrote an account of the failed siege of Constantinople by the Ottomans under the sultan Murad II in 1422. Cananus attributes the survival of the Byzantine capital to the miraculous intervention of Theotokos. The account differs from the contemporary history of John Anagnostes, who described Murad's sack of Thessalonica in 1430, chiefly in Cananus' frequent religious polemic, and in his willingness to write in the vernacular Greek, as opposed to the Atticism of Anagnostes and Critobulus. Their use of Greek, while "artificial in the extreme," is intended as an "imitation of the classics;" an ideal which had been "the governing principle for all writers who aimed at a good style not merely under the Roman empire but right to the end of the Byzantine period."

Re: Georgios Kastriotis "The Manipulators"(First Part)
This is the answer to the video "Georgios Kastriotis" and "Georgios Kastriotis 2, Greek Medieval Hero" of CaossHellas YouTube user and for all those anti-albanian who dislike our Existence. A son of John (Gjon) Kastrioti, prince of Emathia (Mat), George was early given as hostage to the Turkish sultan. Converted to Islām and educated at Edirne, Turkey, he was given the name Iskander—after Alexander the Great—and the rank of bey (hence Skanderbeg) by Sultan Murad II. During the defeat of the Turks at Niš (1443), Skanderbeg abandoned the Turkish service and joined his Albanian countrymen against the forces of Islām. He embraced Christianity, reclaimed his family possessions, and in 1444 organized a league of Albanian princes, over which he was appointed commander in chief. In the period 1444--66 he effectively repulsed 13 Turkish invasions, his successful resistance to the armies of Murad II in 1450 making him a hero throughout the Western world. Through the years he elicited some support from Naples, Venice, and the papacy and was named by Pope Calixtus III captain general of the Holy See. In 1463 he secured an alliance with Venice that helped launch a new offensive against the Turks. Until the end of his life he continued to resist successfully all Turkish invasions. Within a few years of his death, however, his citadel at Krujë had fallen (1478), and Albania passed into several centuries of obscurity under Turkish rule.

The Conquest Of Constantinople Part 1
For eight centuries, the conquest of Constantinople, now Istanbul, Turkey, was a dream for the Muslim commanders. Ever since the era of the revered companion, Mu`aawiyah Ibn Abu Sufyaan, there had been many attempts to conquer it, but none had succeeded. Every Muslim commander wanted to be the conqueror praised in the narration in which the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "You will conquer Constantinople. Its commander is the best and its army (that will conquer it) is the best." Who was then the person about whom the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) gave glad tidings? It was Muhammad Al-Faatih may Allaah have mercy upon him son of the Ottoman Sultan Murad II. Muhammad Al-Faatih may Allaah have mercy upon him as a child and his excellent preparation: Muhammad Al-Fatih was born on 27th Rajab, 835 AH, 30th March, 1432. He was brought up under the supervision of his father, Sultan Murad II, the seventh Ottoman Sultan. His father prepared and trained him to shoulder the responsibilities of the position of a Sultan. Muhammad Al-Fatih memorized all the Quran, learnt the Prophetic narrations, Islamic jurisprudence, mathematics, astronomy and the skills required for war.

The Conquest Of Constantinople Part 5
For eight centuries, the conquest of Constantinople, now Istanbul, Turkey, was a dream for the Muslim commanders. Ever since the era of the revered companion, Mu`aawiyah Ibn Abu Sufyaan, there had been many attempts to conquer it, but none had succeeded. Every Muslim commander wanted to be the conqueror praised in the narration in which the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "You will conquer Constantinople. Its commander is the best and its army (that will conquer it) is the best." Who was then the person about whom the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) gave glad tidings? It was Muhammad Al-Faatih may Allaah have mercy upon him son of the Ottoman Sultan Murad II. Muhammad Al-Faatih may Allaah have mercy upon him as a child and his excellent preparation: Muhammad Al-Fatih was born on 27th Rajab, 835 AH, 30th March, 1432. He was brought up under the supervision of his father, Sultan Murad II, the seventh Ottoman Sultan. His father prepared and trained him to shoulder the responsibilities of the position of a Sultan. Muhammad Al-Fatih memorized all the Quran, learnt the Prophetic narrations, Islamic jurisprudence, mathematics, astronomy and the skills required for war. He also learnt Arabic, Persian, Latin and Greek languages. He joined his father in his battles and conquests.

Murad II's reign was marked by the long war he fought against the Christian feudal lords of the Balkans and the Turkish emirates in Anatolia, a conflict that lasted 25 years. He was brought up in Amasya, and ascended the throne on the death of his father Mehmed I. His mother was Valide Sultan Emine Hatun, daughter of Suleyman Bey, ruler of Dulkadiroglu state, his father's third consort. Their marriage served as an alliance between the Ottomans and this buffer state.
Biography
Murad II (Murat), when called from his vice-royalty in Asia Minor to become the sovereign of the Ottoman Empire, was only eighteen years of age. He was solemnly recognized as sultan, girded with the sabre of Osman at Bursa and the troops and officers of the state willing paid homage to him as their sovereign.But his reign was soon troubled by insurrection. The Byzantine emperor, released the 'pretender' Mustafa Çelebi (known as Düzmece Mustafa) from confinement and acknowledged him as the legitimate heir to the throne of Bayezid I (1389–1402). The Byzantine Emperor, Manuel II, had first secured a stipulation, that Mustafa should, if successful, repay him for his liberation by giving up a large number of important cities. The pretender was landed by the Byzantine galleys in the European dominion of the sultan and for a time made rapid progress. Many Turkish soldiers joined him, he defeated and killed the veteran general Beyazid Pasha whom Murad had sent to fight him. Mustafa defeated Murad's army and declared himself Sultan of Adrianople (modern Edirne). He then crossed the Dardanelles to Asia with a large army; but the young Sultan showed in this emergency that he possessed military and political abilities worthy of his best ancestors. Mustafa was out-manoeuvered in the middle of the field and his troops, whose confidence in his person and cause he had lost by his violence and incapacity, passed over in large numbers to Murad II. Mustafa took refuge in the city of Gallipoli but the sultan, who was greatly aided by a Genoese commander named Adorno, besieged him there and stormed the place. Mustafa was taken and put to death by the sultan who then turned his arms against the Roman emperor and declared his resolution to punish the Palaiologos for their unprovoked enmity by the capture of Constantinople.
Murad II then formed a new army called Azeb in 1421 and marched through the Byzantine Empire and laid siege to its capital Constantinople. While Murad was besieging the city, the Byzantines, in league with some independent Turkish Anatolian states, sent the sultan's younger brother Mustafa (who was only 13 years old) to rebel against the sultan and besiege Bursa. Murad had to abandon the siege of Constantinople in order to deal with his rebellious brother. He caught Prince Mustafa and executed him. The Anatolian states that had been constantly plotting against him — Aydinids, Germiyanids, Menteshe and Teke — were annexed and henceforth became part of the Ottoman Empire.
Murad II then declared war against Venice, the Karamanid Emirate, Serbia and Hungary. The Karamanids were defeated in 1428 and Venice withdrew in 1432 following the defeat at the second Siege of Thessalonica in 1430. In the 1430s Murad captured vast territories in the Balkans and succeeded in annexing Serbia in 1439. In 1441 the Holy Roman Empire, Poland and Albania joined the Serbian-Hungarian coalition. He relinquished his throne in 1444 to his son Mehmed II but a Janissary revolt in the Empire forced him to return. Murad II won the Battle of Varna in 1444 against János Hunyadi.
In 1448 he defeated the Christian coalition at the Second Battle of Kosovo (the first one took place in 1389). When the Balkan front was secured, Murad II turned east to defeat Timur's son, Shah Rokh, and the emirates of Karamanid and Çorum-Amasya. In 1450 Murad II led his army into Albania and unsuccessfully besieged the Castle of Kruje in an effort to defeat the resistance led by Skanderbeg. In the winter of 1450–1451, Murad II fell ill, and died in Edirne. He was succeeded by his son Mehmed II (1451–81).
Murad II had seven wives: #Alima Khanum, of the Dulkadiroğlu Beylik; #A daughter of Damad Karaja Pasha #Yeni Hatun, daughter of Mahmud Bey from Amasya; #Valide Sultan Hüma Hatun, born in Devrekani county of Kastamonu Kiran province, daughter of Abd'Allah of Hum, Huma meaning a girl/woman from Hum, mother of Mehmed the Conqueror; #Tacünnisa Hatice Halime Hatun, daughter of Isfendiyar, the ruler of the Isfendiyarids; #Mara Hatun (Mara Branković) the daughter of Đurađ Branković of Serbia . #Halima Hatun, daughter of Ibrahim II ruler of the Çandaroğlu Türkmen tribe in Anatolia

Born in Karachi, Pakistan, he was the only child of well-off film distributor Mr. Nisar Murad. He got early education from Karachi Grammar School, Karachi, did graduation from S.M. Arts College Karachi, and then masters in English literature from University of Karachi.
He is well-known for his charming expressions, attractive personality, tender voice and unusual talent for acting in films. His romantic style of acting made him popular amongst the young cinema viewers of Pakistan. One of his blockbuster films is ''Armaan'', which was produced by him, made a pivotal impact on the sub-continental film industry such that the Pakistani film industry was considered as the rising sun. ''Armaan'' made him a superstar overnight and as equal to the Indian film titans such as Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Ashok Kumar and Prithviraj Kapoor. Once, in an interview in 1967, he said that Dilip Kumar, too, is not an immortal actor. In November 2010, 27 years after his death, Pakistani president Asif Zardari awarded him the Sitara-e-Imtiaz, the "star of excellence," an honour given for distinguished merit in the fields of literature, arts, sports, medicine, or science.
Film career
Waheed Murad started his film career by joining his father's established 'Film Art' in 1961 as producer of the film ''Insaan badalta hai''. In his second film as producer ''Jab se dakha hai tumhein'' he casted Darpan with Zeba as heroine. Afterwards, Darpan most of the time started coming late at studio. Zeba suggested Waheed to cast himself as hero in his next film. Waheed was not ready to sign himself in his own movies. But when the same suggestion came from his old good friend Pervaiz Malik, he accepted it on the condition that if Zeba would be his co-star, Zeba accepted in return (according to Zeba). As a result he firstly appeared in a supporting role in 1962's ''Aulad''. The film was directed by his friend S.M. Yousuf. ''Aulad'' got much more acclaims from critics, and it also got the Nigar award in the best film's category for the year. ''Heera aur pathar'' was his first movie as a leading actor and considered to be his major breakthrough. He got the Nigar award in the best actor category for the same film.In 1966, he acted in ''Armaan'' under his production which was directed by Pervaiz Malik. ''Armaan'' broke all the box office records at that time and completed 75 weeks in theatres, gave him the status of superstar or perhaps the first superstar of Pakistani films. The film is a romantic and melodious love story. The songs like ''Koko korina...'', ''Akele na jana...'', ''Betaab ho udhar tum...'' and ''Zindagi apni thi ab tak...'' sung by legendary singer Ahmed Rushdi became extremely popular among the youth especially among the college girls. He received two Nigar awards for the categories best producer and best actor for the film ''Armaan''. During the same year, he starred in another superhit film ''Jaag utha insaan'' with co-star Zeba. This fact is on record that in Zeba's success, Waheed had a very important contribution as he casted her in his films and brought country wide fame for her.
In 1967, he appeared as leading actor in masterpieces like ''Devar bhabi'', ''Doraha, 'Insaaniyat' and 'Maan baap'. ''Devar bhabi'' is considered as one of his best movies and completed 50 weeks in the cinemas. The story of ''Devar bhabi'' is based on Indo-Pak's unjust social thoughts and norms. ''Insaaniyat'' is also considered as one of his best movies in which he played a role of a dedicated doctor.
From 1964 to 1968, Waheed Murad and Pervaiz Malik made blockbusters like ''Heera aur pathar'', ''Armaan'', ''Ehsaan'', ''Doraha'' and ''Jahan tum wahan hum''. The successful combination of Waheed Murad, Pervaiz Malik, Masroor Anwar, Sohail Rana, Ahmed Rushdi and Zeba created a number of successful films. Waheed Murad brought Malik, Anwar and Rana under the umbrella of 'Film Arts'. But in late 1960s, dissension grew between Waheed Murad and other three team members of 'Film Art'. Pervaiz Malik was not happy with Waheed's taking away the credit for all the success of movies and giving little recognition to others. So the Film Arts broke up and Pervaiz Malik started creating his own projects with new actors. A total of seven films, including two films, i.e., ''Usey dekha usey chaha'' and ''Dushman'' released after a long gap of 6 years in 1974, were produced with the combination of Waheed and Pervaiz (but not under 'Film Art' Production).
In 1969, Waheed produced, wrote and directed his own movie ''Ishaara'' but the movie flopped at box office. ''Andaleeb'' was released in 1969, which was directed by Fareed Ahmed. Other co-stars included Shabnam, Aliya, Talish and Mustafa Qureshi. Andaleeb proved to be one of the greatest films of the year. Moviegoers loved his acting esp. in the song ''Kuch log rooth kar bhi...'' sung by Ahmed Rushdi in which Waheed is trying to flirt Shabnam in his red sports car. Waheed Murad received Nigar award in the best actor category for that film. Critics are unanimous that singer Ahmed Rushdi had a significant role in the success of Waheed Murad, and that Rushdi's voice was tailor made for him.
From 1970 to 1979, many of his films were superhit like ''Naseeb apna apna'' and ''Anjuman'' in 1970; ''Neend hamare khuwab tumhare'' and ''Mastana mahi'' (Waheed's first Punjabi film) in 1971; ''Baharo phool barsao'' in 1972; ''Ishq mera naa'' (Punjabi film) and ''Shama'' in 1974; ''Jab jab phool khiley'' in 1975; ''Shabana'' in 1976; ''Saheli'', ''Parakh'' and ''Khuda aur muhabbat'' in 1978; and ''Awaz'' and ''Bahan bhai'' in 1979. ''Mastana mahi'' was Waheed's first Punjabi film, which was also produced by him and directed by Iftikhar Khan. ''Mastana mahi'' was purely a romantic musical film. Waheed received Nigar award for the best actor for ''Mastana mahi''.
During early 1970s, he had no or very little choice in selecting his co-stars. Zeba, after her marriage with Mohammad Ali, was not allowed to work as heroine with Waheed Murad. Soon Shabnam's husband Robin Ghosh forced her to not work with Waheed. Even Nisho was not allowed to work with him. These were major setbacks for Waheed's career. Most of the top producers offered Waheed secondary roles in their films due to a monopoly against him. In addition, Nadeem was giving him a stiff competition in 1970s. So Waheed had been casted by less popular directors and producers and had been given the role of 'stereotypical romantic hero'. Films like ''Naag Mani'' (1972), ''Mastani Mehbooba'' (1974) , ''Laila Majnu'' (1974), ''Izzat'' (1975), ''Dilruba'' (1975), ''Raaste ka pathar'' (1976), ''Mehboob mera mastana'' (1976), and ''Naag aur nagan'' (1976) gave him major setbacks. By late 1970s and early 1980s, Waheed was being casted in supporting roles either with Nadeem or with Mohammad Ali in the films like ''Parastish'' (1977), ''Aadmi'' (1978), ''Khuda aur mohabbat'' (1978), ''Awaz'' (1978), ''Behan Bhai'' (1979), ''Wadey ki zanjeer'' (1979), ''Raja ki aaye gi barat'' (1979), ''Zameer'' (1980), ''Badnaam'' (1980), ''Gun man'' (1981), ''Kiran aur kali'' (1981), ''Gherao'' (1981), ''Ahat'' (1982) and ''Maang meri bhar do'' (1983). The films ''Hero'' (1985) and ''Zalzala'' (1987) were released after his death. Films ''Muqaddar'', ''Aankhon ke taare'', ''Aas paas'' and ''Andaaz'' were either incomplete films or not released by the producers. ''Hero'' was the last film of Waheed's life, directed by Iqbal Yousuf. The film was released after almost two years of Waheed's death in 1985. Another Waheed's delayed film ''Zalzala'' was released after 4 years of his death in 1987, which was also directed by Iqbal Yousuf. ''Zalzala'' did nothing on the box office, however, ''Hero'' completed its Silver Jubilee in Karachi. ''Muqaddar'', ''Aankhon Kay Taray'', ''Aas Paas'' and ''Andaaz'' were the films that were either left incomplete or remain unreleased till todate.
Waheed Murad, in his 25-year career, paired with several actresses like Zeba, Shamim Ara, Rani, Naghma, Aaliya, Sangeeta, Kaveeta, Aasia, Shabnam, Deeba, Babra Sharif, Rukhsana, Bahar and Neelo. He acted in a total of 124 films (2 films were released after his death) of which 38 were black and white and 86 were in colour. Besides this he also appeared in 6 films as a guest star including his ever first and shortest appearance on silver screen in 1959's ''Saathi''. He acted in 115 Urdu films, 8 Punjabi films and 1 Pushto film, and earned 32 prestigious film awards including ones for best producer and for best actor.
Film Art productions
Waheed Murad produced eleven films under his father's established 'Film Art'. He was the youngest film producer in the industry at that time. As producer, Waheed Murad was a successful producer. Most of his produced films were either Golden Jubilee or Silver Jubilee. During 1960s and early 1970s, he produced films like ''Insaan badalta hai'' (1961) (his first film as producer), ''Armaan'' (1966), ''Ehsaan'' (1967), ''Naseeb apna apna'' (1970) and ''Mastana mahi'' (Punjabi film of 1971). However, after ''Mastana Mahi'' he produced no film except ''Hero'' which was produced in 1980s and was released after his death.As director, he had directed as well as produced ''Ishaara'' (1969) with co-star Deeba. But the film failed to achieve the viewers' expectances.
Popularity
Waheed Murad is considered as one of the pioneering Rock n' Roll stars of Pakistan. Due to his romantic and subtle style of acting, he became famously known as the 'Chocolate Hero' and 'Lady Killer'. His hair cut, dressing style and even his conversation style were very popular among the youth. One can say that he was becoming the cultural icon of the Pakistani Film Industry. Once he went to Saddar area of Karachi in his white car. Realizing that it was his car, a group of 30 college girls covered the vehicle with lipstick kisses.He enlivened the silver screen with his extraordinary talent in acting and picturisation esp. in romantic songs. Some of the songs that still turn many nostalgic are ''Tumhain kaisay bata doon'', ''Kuch log rooth kar bhi'', ''Dil tumko dey diya'', ''Koko korina'', ''Jhoom aye dil wo dera jaan-e-bahar aye ga'', ''Beetay huway khuch din aisay hain tanhai jinhain duhrati hey'', ''Mujhe tum nazar say gira to rahay ho'', ''Yun kho gaiy teray pyar mein hum'', ''Socha tha piyar na karan gain'', ''Khamosh hein nazaray'' and ''Aye abre karam aaj itna baras''.
Personal life
Early life
Waheed Murad was born on October 2, 1938 in Karachi. He was the only son of the famous Pakistani film distributor Mr. Nisar Murad and Mrs. Shireen Murad. Since childhood he was being given an exposure to famous actors who used to visit his father regularly and inspired him to pursue an acting career. In his childhood, he used to wear a guitar around his neck and was famous as a good dancer among his friends. In his school life he played parts in several plays, which made him more popular. His best friends were Iqbal Yousuf and Pervaiz Malik who joined the same profession Waheed joined and thus remained associated with him for the rest of his life. Waheed passed matriculation in 1954 from the Marie Colaco School, Karachi. Waheed's parents persuaded him to complete his education prior to embarking on a film career. He graduated in arts from S.M. Arts College, Karachi and then completed masters in English literature from the University of Karachi. A strong educational background placed Waheed Murad at an advantage compared to other film producers and actors of his time.
Marriage
Waheed Murad had a sort of liking towards Salma, a daughter of Karachi based industrialist and a Memon Ibrahim Maker, when both were in grade nine in Karachi Grammar School. Their marriage took place on Thursday, September 17, 1964. The wedding ceremony was arranged at Nisar Murad's house at Tariq Road, Karachi. He addressed his wife as ''Bibi'' at home. They had two daughters (Aaliya and Sadia) and one son (Adil). Sadia died in infancy and both Waheed Murad and Salma became inconsolable. However, their two children, Aalia and Adil brought happiness and comfort to their lives.
Days of struggle
By late 1970s, Waheed was being casted in supporting roles either with Nadeem or with Mohammad Ali, or being offered by 'B class' film directors. Most of the leading heroines like Zeba, Shabnam and Nisho were not allowed to play lead roles with Waheed by their husbands. The heart-throbing actor Waheed Murad could not take such an ignominious treatment meted out to him by industry, but kept silent and did not seek help from his friends. Pervaiz Malik, who was became an established director and producer by late seventies, wrote in a local newspaper: "Not even once during that time Waheed come to me seeking work in my films." Waheed was becoming depressed. His close friends revealed that he was becoming addicted to alcohol, oral tobacco and sleeping pills. Even his domestic life suffered and his wife Salma left for the United States. A combination of bad habits and stress caused ulceration in Waheed's stomach in 1981. He suffered from bleeding and had to undergo stomach removal to save his life. His many fans came to the hospital to donate blood to save the life of their favorite hero. Although, he recovered, he lost a significant amount of weight. Even then, Iqbal Akhtar and Iqbal Yousuf, who proved to be real friends in difficult times, cast Waheed Murad in their movies. Waheed appeared pathetic in ''Dil ney phir yaad keya'' and ''Ghairao''. Even his loyal admirers felt that it was all over for him.
In 1983, Anwar Maqsood - a famous TV writer and anchor and a close friend , invited Waheed to his TV comedy show ''Silver Jubilee''. At only 90 pounds, Waheed appeared pencil-thin on the screen, but attempted to put up a brave front.
However, the keen observers could see that Waheed would be unable to spellbind the public as he did in the past. Only during the singing of ''Tumhe kaisey bata doun...'' by Aalamgir in the ''Silver Jubilee'' show, Waheed's smiles reflected a shadow of his former self-probably in his mind he was still the young hero 20 years earlier.
Babra Shareef, a top actress of the time, revealed that during filming of a scene of ''Hero'', Waheed lost his balance while walking briskly toward her and fell down. He took several minutes to catch his breath prior to standing up on his feet again.
In July 1983, Waheed was driving his car too fast, one of his favorite hobbies, his car struck a big tree. Waheed had a narrow escape, but was left with a large scar on his face. A few days after the accident, Waheed asked his friend Pervaiz Malik for a role. Malik knowing that Waheed was not ready for an acting assignment said, "Veedu you get better and you will be the lead in my next film." With his still razor-sharp mind , he replied, "You give me the role and I will get better." He was going to Karachi to get the scar fixed in order to complete the last few scenes of ''Hero'' when he met the chief editor, Ilyas Rasheedi, of the film magazine 'Nigar' at the airport. Rasheedi wrote in his magazine:
"By chance a famous film producer was also present in the waiting area and Waheed put him on the spot by asking if he had a role for him for Javed Sheikh's father in his movie. The producer had a difficult time dodging Waheed."
During the flight Waheed was very bitter. He told Rasheedi that he was reduced to working in a Pushto film produced by Badar Muneer, who used to be his car driver and help him with his household work in the late sixties, and subsequently became a successful movie star.
Last days and Death
Waheed's son Aadil was in Karachi staying with his grand mother. A day before his face surgery, Waheed celebrated his birthday. He bought several gifts for Aadil and wished him a happy year. He returned late to spend the night at Anita Ayub's mother Mumtaz Ayub's house. When Waheed did not wake up until late, the door had to be forced open and Waheed was found lying on the floor, dead for several hours. A paan leaf with 'something' in it was found in his mouth. Nobody knows for sure if it was a heart attack or suicide. Waheed was buried near his father's grave in Gulberg Graveyard, Ali Zeb Road, Lahore.
Legacy
The rise and fall of Waheed is quite similar to that of Elvis Presley and analogies have been drawn between these two icons. According to a film critic, Waheed Murad was like Elvis Presley who enjoyed early success, the status of being the most mesmerising personality of his country. He earned great fame and then faced a sudden fall and had an untimely death. Despite hardship later in Waheed's life and suffering such a tragic death, he is born again. His movies are repeatedly shown on film festivals, cinemas and TV and are well received.
Ilyas Rashidi, the founder of Nigar Awards, wrote in his magazine:
"Waheed Murad was a born hero."
Rajesh Khanna, an Indian actor, said in his interview with Shama Delhi magazine:
"After seeing a lot of movies of Waheed Murad, I admit he was a really great actor and I admire his matchless acting performance."
Ghulam Mohiuddin, a Pakistani film actor, said:
"Waheed Murad was not an individual but he was an era in his own right which ended when he was sidelined by those who took over the industry in the early 1980s, ... he was a great artiste, who recreated the image of a romantic hero. His acting was natural; he had a great deal of musical sense and was matchless when it came to picturising a song."Lehri, a Pakistani film comedian, said:
"He was a great companion, an unforgettable friend and a humble man so rich in terms of money and fortunes."Sangeeta, a Pakistani film director and actress, said:
"For me, it was a great time when I had been working with him."In the recent Hollywood film Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London, actress Leilah Isaac’s character Sabeen remembers Waheed Murad. Frankie Muniz, reprising his role as Agent Cody Banks, discloses to his cosmopolitan band members that he is a secret agent. To this, a Nigerian boy claims to be Spider-Man while another girl calls herself Lara Croft. As the actors associate themselves with their favourite comic book characters, Sabeen says: "And I’m Waheed Murad." This entices all to ask "what?" to which she replies, "Famous Indian actor."
"Waheed Murad was a superb actor and probably one of the best who ever graced Lollywood. His failure in movies was not owing to lack of talent. In fact, he was the most stylish and original actor in Pakistan. He improved the image of industry by shining through their mediocre scripts; they repaid him by contributing to his downfall. Bad luck, his own strong personality and rendezvous with several actresses also ruined him. He, however, still lives on in the hearts of millions of fans. As his daughter Aaliya said, "If Dad knew that he had such a following, he would not have died.""
