Nadeem
Known for: Acting
Nadeem Baig (born Mirza Nazeer Baig; July 19, 1941), best known by his screen name Nadeem (Urdu: ندیم ), is a legendary Pakistani actor, singer, and producer whose career spans over five decades. Widely regarded as one of the most iconic figures in South Asian cinema, he dominated Pakistani Urdu cinema during the 1970s and 1980s as its leading box-office hero. After starting as a playback singer, Baig made a star-making acting debut in the 1967 blockbuster Chakori. He went on to star in over 200 films, forming an iconic on-screen pairing with actress Shabnam in classic hits like Pehchan (1975) and the record-breaking romance Aina (1977). As cinema evolved, he transitioned smoothly into respected character roles, featuring in modern hits like Superstar (2019), Parey Hut Love (2019), and television dramas such as Ishq e Laa. A decorated veteran, Baig holds a record 16 Nigar Awards for Best Actor and was honored with the prestigious Pride of Performance award by the Government of Pakistan in 1997.
