He was the father of leading television artists Bushra Ansari, Asma Abbas, Sumbul Shahid and poet & author Neelam Ahmad Bashir and son Humayun Sheikh.

Begum Parveen Atif, also an Urdu short story writer, columnist, travelogue writer in Urdu and Punjabi, was his sister.

Ahmad Bashir was born in Eminabad near Gujranwala, (Punjab, British India) on 24 March 1923.
