Life introduction
Om Prakash was born on December 19, 1919 in Jammu. His full name was ‘Om Prakash Bakshi’. He was educated in Lahore. He was interested in art from the beginning. At the age of about 12, he started studying classical music. In 1937, Omprakash worked for Rs 25 in ‘All India Radio Ceylon’. His ‘Fatehdin’ program on radio was very much liked.
Start of acting
In those days, Om Prakash was working as a permanent artist at the ‘Lahore Radio Station’ of ‘undivided India’, and was familiar with the magic of his voice. It is a matter of the time of the Second World War. Omprakash was to travel from Rawalpindi to Lahore. Stuffed trains from military soldiers, and the imperative of the journey despite that crowd. The third-class rail-ticket was near Omprakash, and only in the first place to enter-and that too between three-four English soldiers. Omji, who was forced to enter the same box and make a place, got some success in those efforts. The military officers were being guided in their unknown, unintentional tones at that time, and Omprakash could not understand how he should take a share in the conversation of those people.
Then came to his mind – why not act in front of those people? The honor will at least be saved by doing this. And Kisa -Kotah is that after catering, Surasevan, etc., the military officers asked Omprakash if he was dumb from birth, Omji shook his head with this glory, which could not know that he was dumb nor the same That he is not dumb. The military officers have sympathy for them. He also handed over an entire berth to lying down to Omji, not to lie down. In the morning, he also got the English manner breakfast and his journey was completed with great fun.
But when reached Lahore, when this acting was intervened, the military officers also got drenched with laughter, who had done so much for Omprakash and did so much for Omprakash. It happened that the person who had come to the station to pick up Omji, asked – ‘Say how the sacking, how the journey was chopped?’
The military officers were staring at Omji, and Om was that his tongue was being shrinked. Just then, Omprakash said while storing his confidence – ‘Forgive,’ Biradran, this lame English of you could not enter inside my sending, that is why I had to act as dumb. By the way, do not understand that I do not know the English tongue, I have also studied at Lahore University and the time of laughter between the people present on hearing this, the period of laughter started between the people present should end only after Omji left the station.

Film journey
In the Hindi film world, Omprakash entered the film style. He went to a wedding with a friend, where ‘Dalsukh Pancholi’ saw him and sent him to Lahore. Dalsukh Pancholi contracted Om Prakash at a salary of Rs 80 for the film ‘Dasi’ (1950). It was Omprakash’s first speaking film. Omprakash had a good friendship with composer C. Ramachandra.

Comedian actor
Take the scene of the classic film ‘Pyaar Kiya Ja’ when the story of a horror film is told between Mahmood and Om Prakash. Om Prakash is definitely playing the role of a ‘foil’ here and it is only by his brilliant performance to tell the story of Mahmud. Om Prakash’s role here (without any dialogues) is absolutely passive but due to his reactions, the scene reaches the peak when the voice of a third party intervenes beyond the camera frame and both a casual blue light They get scared to be filled with There is a great transaction between these two which gives their roles and edge to their roles. The more Omprakash is afraid, the more they act as the beaten man, the more it is fun in the scene. It is also prevalent in this connection that when Mahmood was given the award for his performance in this film, not only he gave full credit to his ‘foil’ Om Prakash, but also touched his feet among the audience from the stage. A comedian always understands the importance of a partner in acting and accepts it politely.
