However, he was married twice, to Saeeda Khatoon and Zohra Begum. He was not married to the Pakistani television actress Arsh Muneer, contrary to popular belief. In 1957, Shaukat Thanvi joined the Daily Jang newspaper and started writing a humor column in it called "Vaghaira Vaghaira", which later became very popular among the Pakistani public. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, Pancholi Art Pictures closed down and Shaukat Thanvi joined Radio Pakistan in Lahore.
Īt the suggestion of Syed Imtiyaz Ali Taj, Thanvi joined Lahore's Pancholi Art Pictures as a story and songwriter in 1943. He was doing mainly humorous talk shows at the radio station. Then he joined the radio station in Lucknow as a writer and a broadcaster after it was first established in 1938. Starting in 1928, he started working for an Urdu-language newspaper Hamdam from Lucknow, British India and continued working for several other Urdu newspapers. Shaukat Thanvi had little formal schooling. Thana Bhawan, a small town in Muzaffarnagar district (now in Shamli district) of Uttar Pradesh, was Thanvi's ancestral hometown and possibly the source of his last name, though Professor Mushtaq Azmi suggests that he adopted the name Thanvi because of his affection for the Islamic scholar Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi. Shaukat Thanvi was born in Bandraban, Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, British India, on 2 February 1904.
