Saadat Hasan Manto's life was not only interesting but also short.

His father "Maulvi Ghulam Hussain" was a judge by profession to whose second wife Manto was born. He had a harsh temper, so Saadat Hasan Manto did not get his love. That is why he failed his matriculation twice and passed the examination in the third division for the third time. He had failed in Urdu. After matriculation, he was sent to Aligarh for higher education but was expelled from there on the grounds that he had tuberculosis. Later he enrolled in Intermediate. He was a very erratic student. A rich friend introduced him to alcohol and gambling. One day he met "Alig Bari", the editor of "Masawat" magazine. He earnestly persuaded Manto to read books by Oscar Wilde and Victor Hugo. At the request of Mr. Bari, Manto translated Victor Hugo's book "The Last Days of a Condemned" as "Sargasht-e-Asir" which Bari liked very much, later he edited the book and Minto became a writer for the first time. Later, he separated from "Masawat" and became associated with "Khalq". Manto's first story "Tamasha" was published in "Khalq".Manto entered Bombay literary circles in 1935 as a novelist. His first job was in the weekly "Paras" and his salary was forty rupees. Manto became the editor of Nazir Ludhianvi's weekly "Masavir". A few days later, after working for a few days in film companies, Imperial and Suroj, he got a job at Cine Toon for Rs 100 per month. He married a Kashmiri girl named Safia. This marriage took place on the wish of his mother. Due to Manto's misdeeds, his relatives severed ties with him. His real sister, though present in Bombay, did not attend the wedding.
