He is known as India's national comedian.<ref name=BBC/><ref name=Dawn>[https://www.dawn.com/news/365327 Indian film comedian Mehmood dies at 72] Dawn (newspaper), Published 24 July 2004, Retrieved 7 November 2019</ref> Mehmood received '''25 Nominations''' for filmfare awards, 19 for 'Best Performance in a Comic Role', while the awards started in 1954, awards for the best comedian category started only in 1967.

==Early life==
Mehmood Ali was born on 29 September 1932. He was one of eight children born to Latifunnisa and film and stage actor/dancer [[Mumtaz Ali]], who was a huge star of the 1940s and 1950s cinema in [[Mumbai|Bombay]]. Mehmood had an elder sister and six younger siblings. His sister, [[Minoo Mumtaz]], was also a successful dancer and character actress in Bollywood movies. His youngest brother, [[Anwar Ali (actor)|Anwar Ali]], is also an actor as well as a producer of such movies as ''[[Khud-daar]]'' and ''[[Kaash]]''.<ref name=upperstall/><ref name=Dawn/>

==Career==

===Early career===
[[child actor|As a child]], he worked in Bombay films like ''[[Kismet (1943 film)|Kismet]]''. He later had a number of odd jobs, selling poultry products and working as a driver for director P. L. Santoshi. Santoshi's son, [[Rajkumar Santoshi]], would later cast him in the film ''[[Andaz Apna Apna]]'' (1994). Many of Mehmood's film songs were sung by [[Manna Dey]].<ref name=upperstall/>

Mehmood reportedly taught table tennis to actress Meena Kumari. After marrying legendary actress [[Meena Kumari]]'s younger sister Madhu in the early 1950s and becoming a father by having a son, Masood, he decided to act to earn a better living starting with a small break as a killer in the film ''[[C.I.D. (1956 film)]]''. He started off by doing small, unnoticed roles in films like the peanut seller in ''[[Do Bigha Zameen]]'' and ''[[Pyaasa]]''. He later went on to act in lead roles as well, but he was more appreciated for his comedy, some of which was in the [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] region's Urdu accent. Mehmood knew exactly how to tickle the film viewers' funny bone. He was really good at playing the film hero's friend, who would help him out of sticky situations with his street-smart ways.<ref name=upperstall/>

Besides actress [[Shubha Khote]], he also teamed up with fellow comedian, [[I. S. Johar]] and actress [[Aruna Irani]].<ref name=upperstall/>

===Later career===
In the late 1970s, Mehmood's popularity began to decline as other comedy actors like [[Jagdeep]], [[Asrani]], [[Paintal (comedian)|Paintal]], [[Deven Verma]] and [[Kader Khan]] shot to prominence. Between 1990 and 1999, he made a handful of movies, but most of them were either shelved or made no impression. He acted as Johnny in [[Rajkumar Santoshi]]'s ''[[Andaz Apna Apna]]'' (1994)– his last known film as an actor.

==Death==
On 23 July 2004, Mehmood died in his sleep in the American state of [[Pennsylvania]], where he had gone for treatment of cardiovascular [[heart disease]] after suffering from poor health over several years. His fans were able to pay homage to him at [[Mehboob Studio]] in [[Bandra]], Mumbai.<ref name=BBC/><ref name=upperstall/><ref name=Dawn/>

==Legacy==
One of his sons, [[Lucky Ali]] (Maqsood Ali), is a singer and composer who has also appeared in films. Mehmood was one of the most respected and loved entertainers in the Indian film fraternity. A performer of such caliber that leading men back in the day used to reject films because their presence used to diminish in films if they starred with Mehmood.<ref name=upperstall/>

He was the one who introduced [[Amitabh Bachchan]] into the commercial cinema space. Mehmood saw potential in Amitabh and put in him in films like [[Bombay To Goa]] (1972) which was a success. Mehmood later on in an interview said that he has forgiven Amitabh. He also gave a break to the music director [[R. D. Burman]] whose first independent film as music director was Chhote Nawab (1961) and to [[Rajesh Roshan]] with his own production [[Kunwara Baap (1974 film)]].<ref name=upperstall/>

Famous American actor, [[Gregory Peck]] said Mehmood was too handsome to be a comedian.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Gregory Peck about Mehmood {{!}} Filmfare|url=https://www.filmfare.com/features/gregory-peck-said-mehmood-bhai-was-too-handsome-to-be-a-comedian-anwar-ali-15859.html}}</ref>
