Portrait of Murad
Behind the Set and Beyond the ScreenThe Murad family had roots in the Bahmani Kingdom of South India from where they migrated to Kashmir and eventually to Sialkot in the 18th century. In Sialkot Murad’s grandfather Zahoor Ilahi adopted the surname ‘Murad’ in 1887. Zahoor Murad was an advovate, among the very few Muslim ones in Sialkot at the time. He was also a social activist. His brother Ferozuddin Murad was an academic who served as the head of the Department of Physics at Aligarh Univeristy in India. A gold medal is awarded in his honour by the university every year.
