He was known for his iconic line " Dekhti Aankho, Sunte Kaano aapko Tariq Aziz ka Salam pohnchay".

He received his early education in Jalandhar and in 1947 migrated to the then Montgomery District city now Sahiwal, Pakistan.

[3] 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.

[7] Aziz also starred in other Pakistani films "Haar Gaya Insaan" and then later in Qasam us Waqt Ki (1969).

[9][10] Aziz was active in student politics during his college era and joined Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party in 1970.

At that time, Aziz was called a "Firebrand Socialist" known for charging up the crowds with revolutionary slogans at Bhutto's rallies.

But this time his career in the entertainment industry could not reach the highs of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s due to plenty of competition by newly launched private TV channels in Pakistan after 2002.
