Remembering Kader Khan on his birthday: Here are some memorable contributions of the late actor

MUMBAI: One of the most loved actors in Bollywood was the late Kader Khan. He was seen in over 300 movies and loved by fans all over. His amazing acting skills and fabulous comic timing were his strengths, and he always made us laugh with his wit in comic films.

Kader Khan was not only a wonderful actor but also a fabulous writer. It was Rajesh Khanna who gave him a break as a dialogue writer in his film Roti. Thereafter, he wrote dialogues for films with Rajesh Khanna in the lead like Maha Chor, Chhailla Babu, Dharam Kanta, Fiffty Fiffty, Naya Kadam, Masterji, and Nasihat, all of which were hits at the box office. Other successful films for which he has written or assisted in dialogues include Himmatwala, Jaani Dost, Sarfarosh, Justice Chaudhury, Farz Aur Kanoon, Jeeo Aur Jeene Do, Tohfa, Qaidi, and Haisiyat.

There is no doubt that the actor defined versatility over the years and had set a benchmark with his acting and superb comedy.

The actor was hospitalized in December 2018 complaining of "breathlessness." He was suffering from supranuclear palsy. On 31 December 2018, Khan's son, Sarfaraz Khan, confirmed that the actor is no more.

However, the legend lives on through his work. His films keep us entertained even today.
