Veteran actor-writer Kader Khan, who died on New Year’s eve was buried on 2 January at a cemetery in Canada, his son Sarfaraz said. Kader Khan died after a prolonged illness at a hospital in Canada. He was 81.
Khan acted in over 300 films since his success in the 1973 Rajesh Khanna-Sharmila Tagore-Rakhee-starrer Daag, in which he played a lawyer. So naturally, Amul paid a fitting tribute to the late actor and screenwriter. The poster with sketches of Kader Khan, read, “Sab Kader Karte Thhe Unki”.
In his long and illustrious career, Kader went on to act with reigning stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra, Feroz Khan, and later Govinda, in myriad capacities ranging from the bad guy to character roles. He was widely feted for his comic timing and won the Best Filmfare Comedian Award for Baap Numbri Beta Dus Numbri in 1991.
He was last seen in Tevar in 2015, before mobility issues hindered him from working more.
