Thread: Unforgettable Habib Tanvir

(01/09/1923---08/06/2009)

Ajnabee Raste, Ajnabee Hai Jahan
Main Kahan Se Kahan Aa Gaya Hun Yehan
Saath Rango Ki Hai Teri Duniya Haseen
Hai Ujala Kahin Tho Andhera Kahin
Hai Kahin Shayam Tho Kyun Kahin Hai Sehar
Main Chala Main Chala

-------------------lyrics by Ibrahim Ashq
in Habib Tanvir last movie

One of the legend of Indian theatre Habib Tanvir died yesterday in Bhopal at the age of 85.He was not only an actor, playwriter and poet but also a social fighter. He did some outstanding stage drama in several sensitive issues like ‘Zahreeli Hawa’ about Bhopal gas incident etc. He also achieved ‘Padmashree’ and ‘Padmabhushan’ award. He also acted few movies last time we saw him in Subhash Ghai’s movie ‘Black & White’. He was also a great teacher for all new actors in India Theatre, so Indian theatre will miss this great person for ever.

That's a very sad news
I don't know much about him, but it seems that India lost something too precious

Oh that's bad news, My dad is big-big fan of him.. Indeed a great loss..
