==Early life==
Tariq Aziz was born in 1936 to [[Punjab|Punjabi]] [[Arain]] family, in [[Jalandhar]], [[Punjab, India]]. His father's name was Mian Abdul Aziz. He received his early education in Jalandhar and in 1947 migrated to the then Montgomery city now [[Sahiwal, Pakistan]]. He graduated from the [[Government College Sahiwal]].<ref name=APP/>

==Career==
Aziz moved to [[Lahore]] to start his career at [[Radio Pakistan]] in 1961.<ref name=APP/> Later when [[Pakistan Television]] (PTV) started its initial broadcast in November 1964 from Lahore, Aziz was the first person to be seen on it and went on to become first male PTV announcer.<ref name=Dawn/><ref name=":0" />

===Television===
He was one of the first TV hosts to gain commercial success by using the platform of his quiz show ''[[Neelam Ghar]]''/''[[Tariq Aziz Show]]''/''[[Bazm E Tariq Aziz]]''. He interviewed many notable intellectuals, sports persons and celebrities on his shows.<ref name=DailyPakistan/><blockquote>"Game shows are all the rage on television these days and their highly-paid hosts have their dedicated fans. But what about Tariq Aziz, the pioneer of Pakistani game shows?"<ref name=Dawn/></blockquote>
He appeared, as a guest, and answered all the questions on the game show ''[[Inam Ghar]]'' in Pakistan, becoming the first man to do this. He did this without using any help provided to the participants. He then donated all the prizes that he received to an organisation which works for the welfare of people.<ref name=DailyPakistan />

===Film===
Tariq Aziz, along with the film actor [[Waheed Murad]] and film actress [[Zeba]], starred in Pakistani film ''Insaniyat'' (1967).<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1538309/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_3 Pakistani film Insaniyat (1967) starring Tariq Aziz on IMDb website] Retrieved 27 January 2019</ref> Aziz also starred in other Pakistani films "Haar Gaya Insaan" and then later in ''Qasam us Waqt Ki'' (1969). Aziz appeared on several local television programs and morning shows. He also organised telethons for charity purposes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://global.ptv.com.pk/TariqAziz.asp |title=Profile of Tariq Aziz on Archived PTV Global website |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714161139/http://global.ptv.com.pk/TariqAziz.asp |archive-date=14 July 2014 |access-date=28 January 2019}}</ref> Aziz also acted in a number of Pakistani films in the late 1960s and 1970s in side-roles. One of his movies was ''[[Salgira]]'' (1969) which was a highly successful musical movie and won two [[Nigar Awards]] for that year.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://dailytimes.com.pk/481169/waheed-murad-remembering-the-chocolate-hero-of-pakistani-cinema-part-ii/|title=Waheed Murad: remembering the Chocolate Hero of Pakistani cinema — Part II|work=Daily Times|date=10 October 2019|access-date=18 June 2020|first=Amjad|last=Parvez|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200414081232/https://dailytimes.com.pk/481169/waheed-murad-remembering-the-chocolate-hero-of-pakistani-cinema-part-ii/|archive-date=14 April 2020|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Rehmat">{{cite news|url=https://www.gulf-times.com/story/665949/His-age-his-stage|title=His age, his stage|work=Gulf Times|access-date=20 June 2020|date=18 June 2020|first=Kamran|last=Rehmat}}</ref>

=== Politics ===
Aziz was active in student politics during his college-era and had joined [[Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto]]'s [[Pakistan Peoples Party]] in 1970. Atthetime, Aziz was called a "firebrand socialist" known for charging up the crowds with revolutionary slogans at Bhutto's rallies.<ref name=Dawn/> However, later he parted his ways with that party and went back to the entertainment world. In 1996, Aziz joined [[Pakistan Muslim League (N)]] and was elected member of [[Pakistan National Assembly]] from Lahore. He was one of the political activists who were charged with attacking the [[Supreme Court of Pakistan]] building in 1997.<ref name="TNI">{{cite news|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/619617-bitter-memories-of-1997-contempt-case-against-sharif |title=Bitter memories of 1997 contempt case against Sharif| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170711220803/https://www.thenews.com.pk/archive/print/619617-bitter-memories-of-1997-contempt-case-against-sharif |date=19 January 2012|archive-date=11 July 2017 |newspaper= The News International (newspaper)|access-date=15 August 2021}}</ref><ref name=Dawn/>

During [[Pervez Musharraf]]'s presidency, he joined his political party [[Pakistan Muslim League (Q)]].<ref name=Dawn/> However, he could not attain any status of note in that party and was sidelined.<ref name=Dawn/> Again, he returned to the entertainment industry. But this time his career in entertainment industry could not reach the highs of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s due to plenty of competition by many TV channels in Pakistan after 2002.<ref name=Dawn/>

Aziz was a [[philanthropist]], book-lover and recited poetry. In 2018, a major English-language Pakistani newspaper reported about him, "He (Tariq Aziz) shared that having children or no children is the will of Allah and since he has no kids of his own, he would like to give all his earnings for the welfare of his country. Aziz has won the hearts of many by announcing his will and he surely is a role model for all of us."<ref name=DailyPakistan/>
