Zahid Ahmed’s acting career started almost two years back. In a short span of time, he has proved that he is a versatile actor. Zahid made his debut through a theatre play ‘It runs in the family’. The success of the play brought him a number of distinguished projects like ‘Bombay Dreams’ and ‘Run For Your Wife’. This was followed by Anwar Maqsood’s ‘Sawa 14’ and ‘Pawnay 14 August’, where he played the challenging role of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The actor further surprised everyone with his talent when he played the fat and bald Butt Sahab, in ‘Half Plate’.
In 2014, he finally made a smooth transition to television with ‘Mehram’, drawing critical acclaim from all corners. In just two years, this talented actor has managed to deliver power packed performances in projects like ‘Alvida’, ‘Jugnoo’, ‘Tum Mere Paas Raho’, ‘Sangat, ‘Zara Yaad Kar’, ‘Mor Mahal’ and ‘Besharam’.
