Nayyar Ali Dada was born on 11 November 1943 in Delhi, British India, to a Sayyid family.[2] His family migrated to Lahore, Pakistan, in the 1950s. After finishing his basic education at the University of Punjab, Lahore in 1957, he enrolled in the National College of Arts (NCA), Lahore, as a student. In 1964, he graduated from NCA but chose to remain attached to it by working there as a teacher. The principal of NCA Shakir Ali and Dada became friends. According to Overseas Pakistanis Foundation website, "The relationship with Shakir Ali (the principal of NCA) grew, and the two became close friends. As a token of friendship, Nayyar designed Shakir Ali's house in Garden Town, Lahore (now the Shakir Ali Museum)."[2][1]
