Rehman (23 June 1921 – 1979)[citation needed] was an Indian film actor whose career spanned from late 1940s through to late 1970s. He was an integral part of the Guru Dutt team, and most known for his roles in films, like Pyaasa (1957), Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960), Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) and Waqt (1965).
Rehman was an actor in Hindi and Indian films. He was born on 23 June 1921 at Lahore. He graduated from Robertson college Jabalpur. Amongst his nephews, are prominent Pakistani film and TV actor Faisal Rehman and Fasih-ur-Rehman, Indian classical dancer and sons of his younger brother Massud-ur-Rehman famous cinematographer in Pakistan.
After college (1942) he joined the Royal Indian Air Force and trained at Pune as a pilot. Air Force didn't appeal to him and soon left for a career in films at Bombay. He is best known for his suave sophisticated roles, which suited his personality. His movie career started with a job as third assistant director to Vishram Bedekar at the studios in Pune. Vishram needed an Afghan who could tie a Pushtun turban on one of his characters. Rehman could do that being a Pushtun by race, and that brought him to the screen for some lead roles.
