He entered the entertainment industry in 2009 and has since become a prominent name in Pakistani television.
Raza began his acting journey with the hit drama Mehmoodabad Ki Malkayein.

In an interview, when asked about how he transitioned into showbiz, Raza explained that he initially started his professional life in 2008 as a Grade 17 officer in the health sector, working for the Sindh AIDS Control Program.
However, in 2009, he began modeling for various magazines and auditioned for the TV show Hero Ban’ne Ki Tarang, which marked a turning point in his life. This led to more acting opportunities in commercials and dramas.
For two years, he continued both his job and acting, but as his passion for acting grew, he decided to leave the security of his government position, even though his friends advised against it.

Discussing his personal life, Raza mentioned that he was born and raised in Karachi, where he completed his schooling and higher education.
He initially pursued a BBA and later enrolled in an MBA program, but due to his growing career commitments, he was unable to continue. Raza also highlighted that his parents placed great emphasis on his and his sibling’s education and upbringing.
Raza credited Humayun Saeed for introducing him to Mehmoodabad Ki Malkayein, which aired in 2011.
He later made his film debut in 2015 with Jawani Phir Nahi Ani, where he played the role of a lawyer.
