‘He was an exceptionally humorous man’

Abdul Kader was a gifted actor. We need more talents like him in the industry. He could easily blend into any role, be it comedic or dramatic. His expertise on screen fascinated me.

As an artiste, we shared several memories together. He was involved with theatre as well. As we were in same team, I got to know him better than anyone else which made me understand that he was not only a good actor but also a good human being.

While at an outdoor shoot for the drama "Ekhono Dusshomoy," a guard was not letting me enter the shooting spot. Abdul Kader was right behind me. He laughed at him saying, "Let her in or you'll face severe consequences," which surprised the guard. The man was left astonished even after Abdul Kader introduced me.

Abdul Kader and Khairul Alam Sabuj used to visit my house every Friday.  We spent a lot of time together. One Friday morning, the two of them suddenly arrived at home. I immediately asked if they had breakfast. Abdul Kader pulled the dialogue of a play and said, "Why are you always hungry?" He was an exceptionally humorous man.

"Meraj Fokirer Ma", "Ekhono Dusshomoy", "Payer Awaj Pawa Jay" are some of the plays that we did together. I hope my prayers reach him, wherever he is.
