Agha belonged to the generation of performers who entered Hindi cinema during the studio system of the 1930s and 1940s, when Bombay (now Mumbai) had emerged as the principal centre of film production in India. His career spanned the transition from black-and-white to colour films and overlapped with the work of leading comedians and character actors of the period.
Agha worked in Hindi-language films as a supporting performer and comic actor. His screen presence saw him cast in light-hearted roles alongside leading men and women of his time, and he featured in productions across multiple decades, contributing to the ensemble nature of mainstream Hindi cinema.
As a long-serving character actor, Agha was part of the supporting cast tradition that shaped popular Hindi films of the mid-twentieth century. Comic actors of his generation provided narrative relief in melodramas and musicals, and contributed to the standard format of commercial Indian cinema.
