Qadri started his career in 1966 at Radio Pakistan, Rawalpindi. Later, he starred in numerous TV dramas, movies, and radio plays. In the TV play "Aik Haqeeqat Aik Afsana", his catchy phrase "Machis hogi aap ke paas?" (Would you happen to have a matchbox?) became viral.[1][2][3][4][5]
Qadri suffered from facial palsy during the mid-2010s and was absent from the screen during this time.[1] He died on 24 December 2023, at the age of 82. He was survived by his wife and their three children.[6]
