veteran actor Masud Ali Khan now spends time at home due to old age. He does not leave the house unless necessary. He uses a wheel chair when he goes out of the house. He has not been acting for a long time. Although the 94-year-old actor’s mind is later on acting, he wants to act in a character that goes with him. Sitting at home, he inquired about fellow artistes.
On the afternoon of January 29, Masud Ali Khan was surprised by five living legendary artistes at his Green
Road residence.
Noted actor and Member of the Parliament Asaduzzaman Noor, noted actor and director Abul Hayat, veteran actors Amirul Haque Chowdhury, Khairul Alam Sabuj and veteran actress Dilara Zaman gathered to see him, share some time, stories and chat with him.
This get-together was organised at the invitation of Asaduzzaman Noor and the initiative of journalist Ovi Moinuddin.
This lively chat lasted from 3:00pm to 6:00pm. After a long time, the artistes met each other. They spent the whole time in great joy. Especially when Masud Ali Khan got close,
everyone was overwhelmed with emotion. They enjoyed the stories of the old days.
During the chat, artiste Raisa and her younger sister Protiva rendered songs at the call of Asaduzzaman Noor.
While sharing his feelings regarding the get-together party, veteran actor Masud Ali Khan told this correspondent,
“I am grateful to all of you that you all came to see me. At the age of 94,
I got the courage to live for many more days.
I became indebted
to everyone.”
At the end of the discussion, veteran actress Dilara Zaman said,
“I went through some unique and ordinary moments of life. We have left an example for future generations that we are not isolated even in this age. I want to pray to everyone.”
Noted actor Abul Hayat shared his feelings by this way, “I thought it was a big festival. Such festivals are greatly needed at
this stage of life. Special thanks to Noor and Ovi.”
Another veteran actor Amirul Haque Chowdhury said,
“I really wanted to see Masud Bhai. My wish was fulfilled.”
“The desire to be together is long. So after hearing about Ovi’s initiative, I went ahead with interest. I hope that this kind of nice conversation can be organised from time to time,” said Asaduzzaman Noor.
Noted actor Khairul Alam Sabuj expressed his feelings, “After a long time, we got together and also had a good time together. At this age, such a pure conversation makes the mind happy.
I want such arrangements to be regular.”
