The 8th death anniversary of legendary television actor and playwright Kamal Ahmed Rizvi was observed on Sunday. The ‘Alif Noon’ star was dearly missed on his death anniversary by many, including friends, family and colleagues alike.
Kamal Ahmad Rizvi was a teacher; a master of humour and satire. He was a great theatre actor and writer. He also trained a lot of senior actors such as Samina Ahmad, Salman Shahid and Rafi Khawar. Rizvi was born in Bihar, India, and later migrated to Karachi before moving to Lahore.
He spent quality time with famed writer Saadat Hassan Manto as he was impressed with the Progressive Writers Movement of that era. He spent time with other great writers associated with the movement too and gained interest in reading and editing during that time.
