Umar Wahidi - A hard working director

I always say you can never race with a man who is raised and trained by the Nature. Umer Wahidi is that guy.
Umar Wahidi.
Umer Wahidi is a Producer/Director in a reputed TV channel. He has been into this profession for last 7 years. He has composed, edited, produced, supervised and directed numerous campaigns. The most arguably thing about his work is, he has a variety in his campaigns, which is indeed commendable. You name any type or category - Music shows, fashion shows, ghazal programs, programs based on Islamic dogmas, talent hunt, cooking shows or events, he has popped his nose 
everywhere and quite diligently. As i have mentioned earlier, the list of his executed jobs is Long. 
Now, interesting question is, where does he bring such innovative ideas from, which his counterparts fail to produce ?
This secret is yet to be disclosed.

Its pleasure to commebt on umar. He is soft spoken, talented and learned person. His knowledge and analyses on arts amazes me. He is very professional and hard working guy. His ambition to excel in life solely on account of outperforming others is enviable. I wish him best of luck.

met him long time ago in dubai. had no idea that a skinny young boy wearing shorts all the time working in a radio channel would reach this place in Pakistani Media Industry. Extremely Humble and friendly and confident in communication. cant forget the moments i had with him in discussion in a coffee shop at media city dubai.
