Karachi Arts Council President Ahmed Shah confirmed on Sunday the passing of veteran actor Talat Hussain in Karachi after a prolonged illness. The sad news was relayed to Shah by Hussain’s daughter, Tazeen Hussain. The funeral prayers will take place at Masjid-e-Ayesha in Defence Phase 7 following the Asr prayers.

Hussain, celebrated for his multifaceted contributions to radio, television, and cinema, had been battling illness while undergoing treatment in a private hospital. Born in September 1940 in Delhi, India, he leaves behind a legacy enriched by his talent and dedication to his craft. Hussain was married to professor Rakhshanda Hussain and was a father of two daughters and one son.

His artistic journey saw him studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, culminating in prestigious accolades such as the Sitara-e-Imtiaz (Star of Excellence) in 2021 and the Pride of Performance Award in 1982, bestowed upon him by the Government of Pakistan.

Internationally, Hussain’s talent was recognized with awards like the Amanda Award in 2006 for Best Supporting Actor in the Norwegian film “Import Eksport” and the Nigar Award in 1986 for Best Supporting Actor in the film “Miss Bangkok.”

Throughout his illustrious career, Hussain left an indelible mark on the Pakistani entertainment industry through his memorable performances in numerous dramas, including classics like “Arjumand” (1970), “Ansoo,” “Bandish,” “Des Pardes,” “Tariq Bin Ziad,” “Eid ka Jora,” “Fanooni Latifey,” and “Hawain.” His versatility extended beyond acting to encompass singing and arts, and he also contributed to the BBC in London for a period.

Ahmed Shah, expressing profound sadness over Hussain’s demise, highlighted his multifaceted persona, stating, “He was not only an actor but also an amazing human.” Shah emphasized Hussain’s significant role within the Arts Council, where he served as a member and vice-president, alongside his literary pursuits.

Condolences Pour in

Condolences poured in from fans, politicians, and fellow actors alike. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif lauded Hussain’s legendary status, praising his impeccable dialogue delivery and lasting contributions to television, theatre, and radio. Acting President Yousuf Raza Gilani acknowledged Hussain’s invaluable services to the arts, while actor Behroze Sabzwari fondly remembered him as a great personality and mentor.

Actor Bushra Ansari and Adnan Siddiqui also mourned the loss, with Ansari reminiscing about Hussain’s elegance and Siddiqui expressing a sense of personal loss, reflecting on Hussain’s guiding influence during his early career.

With Talat Hussain’s demise, the Pakistani entertainment industry bids farewell to a stalwart whose talent, grace, and humanity will be cherished and remembered for generations to come.
