Career

Mirza started off as a theatre actor in 1999. He was doing Bachelors in Commerce and ran out of funds for the next semester which made him and his friends start a theatre company of their own called Dramaybaaz. They wrote and directed an Urdu play, One Way Ticket, which ran in PACC for 7 days receiving an overwhelming response. Mirza managed to raise more than thrice the amount of money he needed for the next semester.
Mirza made his debut on television in Sahira Kazmi's popular PTV drama serial Zebunnisa, about a girl who becomes the victim of domestic violence. Since then Mirza has acted in numerous television serials, telefilms, sitcoms and TV commercials.
He earned international recognition with his film Insha Allah, winning the award in Best Supporting Actor category at the International Filmmaker Film Festival held in Kent, England. Mirza is the first Pakistani actor to be awarded at the festival.
In 2018, he returned to TV serials after four years with the drama Deedan.
He turned to direction with the movie Ishrat Made in China, an action comedy released in 2022.

Personal life

Mirza married actress Aamina Sheikh, at Karachi, in 2005. Their wedding was a three-day event taking place from 30 April to 2 May 2005. He had met Sheikh on the sets of a show which he was hosting and Sheikh was directing. In an interview given to Jang, Mohib revealed that he had the hardest time convincing Aamina's father and that each meeting with him involved "extensive grilling". Amid rumors of their divorce, Mirza himself confirmed in October 2019 that they had parted ways.
In 2021, Mirza married actress Sanam Saeed in a private ceremony. They announced their wedding in 2023.
