THATTA  –  Mansoor Baloch, a renowned actor and chieftain from Sindh, may have left us 30 years ago, but his legacy lives on through his incredible contributions to Pakistan’s entertainment industry. Born in 1944 in Buchri village, Shaheed Benazir Abad district, Mansoor Baloch hailed from a feudal lord’s family and went on to become one of the most versatile actors of his time.

His performances in “Deewaren” and “Jungle” are still remembered and cherished by fans of performing arts.

Mansoor Baloch’s journey to stardom was not without its challenges. Belonging to a die-hard feudal lord’s family, making a mark in the field of performing arts was always going to be a hard nut to crack. However, his ambition and passion for acting drove him to pursue his dreams, and he eventually succeeded his father as the chieftain of the Lund-Baloch tribe.

Throughout his 20-year career, Mansoor Baloch worked in over a dozen Urdu, Punjabi, and Pashto movies, besides several television plays. He received the Best Actor award from PTV for his role in “Deewaren” and was bestowed with the President’s Pride of Performance Award in 1984.

Despite his success, Mansoor Baloch’s life was cut short under mysterious circumstances on May 3, 1994, just eight days after his return to Lahore from Nawabshah.
