In the mid-1970s author, satirist and poet, Athar Shah Khan, - TopicsExpress



          

In the mid-1970s author, satirist and poet, Athar Shah Khan, created a uniquely funny and at the same time tragic character called Jaydee. He first introduced him in a 1975 PTV serial, Intezaar Farmaiyey. The series turned Jaydee into a popular character. Played by Shah himself, Jaydee was a homeless vagabond who ended up staying in middle-class homes torn by domestic strife. Jaydee was always in a crumpled raincoat, a torn tie and circular glasses; and he claimed to be a double PhD in English. Very little is known about his past. He is extremely clumsy and is always trying to prove that he is highly educated by speaking a rather hilarious version of English concocted from using immediate English translations of Urdu words and terms. Heres a scene from that classic play.
