Biography
Ali Saleem is a Pakistani television host, actor, and scriptwriter who built a career on character performance and satirical impressions. His breakthrough came through impersonations of late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, followed by his signature role as Begum Nawazish Ali, a cross-dressing character he developed across multiple channels including Aaj TV, Dawn News, and Geo TV. The Begum Nawazish Ali persona became so dominant that Saleem rarely appears publicly as his male self anymore. He competed as a contestant on Bigg Boss Season 4 in 2010. Born in Pakistan to a retired colonel father in the Pakistan Army and a former government official mother, Saleem has publicly identified as bisexual, gay, khusra (a traditional South Asian gender-nonconforming identity), and transgender at different points. As a screenwriter and actor, Saleem works in television production, a medium that shaped Pakistani entertainment through the 2000s and 2010s. His Life Path Number is 2, associated with balance and partnership—fitting for an artist who navigates multiple personas and identities.
