# Mohib Mirza

Mohib Mirza (Urdu: محیب مرزا) (born 18 August 1979) is a Pakistani actor, director, playwright, television host and comedian.
He is known for his work in the film and television industry of Pakistan for which he has been nominated for various awards.

## Career

Mirza started off as a theatre actor in 1999. He was doing Bachelors in Commerce and ran out of funds for the next semester which made him and his friends start a theatre company of their own called Dramaybaaz. They wrote and directed an Urdu play, One Way Ticket, which ran in PACC for 7 days receiving an overwhelming response. Mirza managed to raise more than thrice the amount of money.
Mirza made his debut on television in Sahira Kazmi's popular PTV drama serial Zebunnisa, about a girl who becomes the victim of domestic violence. Since then Mirza has acted in numerous television serials, telefilms, sitcoms and TV commercials.
He earned international recognition with his film Insha Allah (2009), winning the award in Best Supporting Actor category at the International Filmmaker Film Festival held in Kent, England. Mirza is the first Pakistani actor to be awarded at the festival.
In 2018, he returned to TV serials after four years with the drama Deedan.
He turned to direction with the movie Ishrat Made in China, an action comedy released in 2022.

## Personal life

Mirza married actress Aamina Sheikh, at Karachi. Their wedding was a three-day event taking place from 30 April to 2 May 2005. He met Sheikh on the sets of a show which he was hosting and Sheikh was directing. In an interview given to Jang, Mohib revealed that he had the hardest time convincing Aamina's father and that each meeting with him involved "extensive grilling". Aimed to rumors of their divorce, Mirza himself confirmed it in October 2019.
In 2021, Mirza married actress Sanam Saeed in a private ceremony. They announced their wedding in 2023.
His father Mohsin Mirza, who studied law, worked as a corporate employee, was an Urdu poet as well as painter, and who inspired Mohib to become an artist, passed away in 2022.
