Al Nasir was born into a royal family in Bhopal and had been married thrice, first to actress Meena Shorey, then to Manorama. He finally married the famous actress Veena in 1947 with whom he had two children Huma and Altamash. He was a popular supporting actor and worked opposite his wife Veena in quite a few films, the most memorable roles such as Amar Singh Rathod (1957) where Veena played the role of Mumtaz Mahal to Al Nasir Shah Jehan.
