Ali Gul Mallah: Fahad Mustafa’s Father Was My Marriage Guarantor

Renowned comedian Ali Gul Mallah, famous for his iconic “Bhale” dialogue in Ishq Murshid, recently shared his struggles in both his career and personal life. He revealed how girls’ families rejected his marriage proposals because of his acting career. However, he finally got married after Fahad Mustafa’s father vouched for him.

Ali Gul Mallah appeared on Mathira’s show, where he discussed his journey from hardship to success.

During the conversation, he shared, “I was born in Jacobabad, Sindh. I lost my mother when I was a child.” He explained that he had a sister, and after their mother’s passing, their father remarried and had more children.

Recalling his tough childhood, he said, “I was very close to my mother. After her death, my life changed. People started hitting, taunting, and ignoring me. That’s when I learned to bear my sorrows through comedy.”

Ali Gul Mallah admired film star Nadeem and decided to pursue acting after watching Dil Lagi. While working in a garage, he began imitating actors.

However, his challenges did not end there. He shared, “I performed in theatre plays in Jacobabad to earn money for tea and food. But poverty and people’s hatred pushed me to the point where I once tried to commit suicide.” Fortunately, theatre writer Hameed Bhutto saved his life and guided him.

In 1996, he moved to Karachi to pursue acting but faced extreme financial difficulties. “I couldn’t even afford 500 rupees per month to pay my flat rent,” he recalled.

Discussing his marriage struggles, he said, “My maternal uncles, who were also the girl’s parents, refused my marriage proposal because I was an actor.”

Determined to convince them, he said, “Since my maternal uncle admired Salahuddin Tunio, I took him along to propose.” Fahad Mustafa’s father then vouched for him, leading to his successful marriage. “Now, I have three children,” he added.

Talking about his family, he said, “My eldest son is studying cybersecurity at university, while my other son and daughter are in college. My youngest son has an interest in acting.”

Explaining his viral Bhale dialogue, he said, “I used to say ‘Bhale’ in my Sindhi comedy YouTube videos, and Ishq Murshid director Farooq Rind had seen those videos.”

He further shared how his role in the drama was unexpected: “Farooq Rind called me for a scene and told me my role wasn’t originally in the script. The script only mentioned a vegetable seller, and he wanted me to play the part using my Bhale dialogue.”

Ali Gul Mallah’s powerful delivery made the dialogue an instant hit. “People loved my dialogue, and from there, I reached new heights of fame and became loved all over the world,” he concluded.
