Danish Nawaz Baloch (Urdu: دانش نواز بلوچ; born 4 August 1987) is a Pakistani actor, director and comedian.

The son of the late senior actor Fareed Nawaz Baloch and brother to fellow actor-director Yasir Nawaz, Danish Nawaz has established a career in Pakistani television where he is mostly famous as a comedian.[2]

As an actor, Danish is best known for his lead comedy roles in television serials such as Nadaniyan (2009), Extras: The Mango People (2011), Larka Karachi Ka Kuri Lahore Di (2012) and Hum Sab Ajeeb Se Hain (2016).[3]

As a director, he is famous for his light rom-com television serials such as Chupke Chupke (2021) and Hum Tum (2022).

Career

He began his career in 2001 with a cameo in the Indus Vision serial Sab Set Hai, while he was studying engineering at university.[4] Later, he completed his Mechanical Engineering degree from the Mehran University of Engineering & Technology, Hyderabad, Pakistan.[citation needed]

In an interview with The Express Tribune, when asked how it feels to bound yourself with one genre, Nawaz said ''I present myself as a comedy actor and I have no issues with doing comedy roles only. I'd rather do something that I'm really good at than do something so many other people are doing.''[2]
