His family left behind and he was the stand out of his kin who settled on that specialty the Muslims of the subcontinent had cut for themselves.
In 1965 he has written Alif Noon for Pakistan Television (PTV) and went about as one of the leads in the series.
Alif Noon was most likely the first prominent and critical comedy success of television in Pakistan.
Done first amid the days when even plays were broadcast live, it was resuscitated a few times later; once recorded in black-and-white and later again in colour.
Every time Rizvi brought a percentage of the prior scenes back and after that included a couple of new ones also.
