Abdul Kader was one of my favourite co-artistes. He was very friendly. He could lift up the moods of everyone around him.

We did several projects together. Amongst them, "Kothao Keu Nei" was the most popular. People still remember our performances as Baker Bhai and Bodi. Baker Bhai was hanged because of Bodi's confession in court. This character will always keep him alive in the hearts of the audience.

Abdul Kader played Bodi in Kothao Keu Nei.

Abdul Kader was a very talented man who loved the stage immensely. I got to watch him on stage.

He was a very good human being, and a family-oriented man. Despite having a busy schedule, he always managed to give proper attention and time to his family. Not everyone can manage to do everything together. But this is what made him unique. Today, I am sending all my love to him.
