Is it possible to get in touch with the photographer? I am available @GibranAshraf on twitter
Om Prakash was one of the Best performers ever produced from Lahore. I would never forget his performance in ”Boot Polish” A contemporary of singer/actor G. M. Durrani from Lahore.
Reading about the house of Om Parkash in Pakistan reminded me of my house in the Lawarance Garden Road till 1947. During my visit to Lahore in 2004, I attempted to locate the house but could not find the house. If I visit Lahore again , I will again try to find it. Memories of Lahore and other towns where i spent my childhood are still fresh in my mind.

Can anyone provide more information about late Om Prakash’s life in Lahore?
