How a bottle of whisky inspired the stage name of a THIS Bollywood comedian, who was a bus conductor

Johnny Walker, whose real name was Badruddin Qazi, was born in the 1920s to a theatrical family. Before he got into films, he was a bus conductor and lived a modest life. However, his comic talent was spotted by Baldev Raj Chopra, and upon seeing Walker portray a drunk man that reminded him of a famous whisky brand, he came up with the stage name "Johnny Walker".
