Comedian Razak Khan passed away this morning in Mumbai. He reportedly suffered a massive heart attack and was rushed to the Holy Family Hospital in Bandra where the doctors declared him dead on arrival.
He will be cremated tomorrow at the Narialwadi Kabristan at Byculla.
His name may not ring a bell immediately, but his face is sure to bring back a barrage of memories from the cinema of the 90’s.
Razak Khan was one of those actors in the industry who even in the smallest of small roles managed to bring a smile to your face. He always had the quirkiest names to himself such as Babu Bisleri, Ninja Chacha, Munna Mobile or Lucky Chikna to name a few.
Here a comic scene from the film ‘Ishq’ where he won our heart with his comic timing
His role of Manikchand in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Baadshah, and appearances in films such as Hello Brother, Joru Ka Ghulam and Kyaa Kool Hain Hum are some of his best works.
Khan made his Bollywood debut with Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja in 1993 and acted in around 90 movies.
In 2014, he appeared on Comedy Nights With Kapil as ‘Bua’s husband’
Unfortunately, he never rose to as much fame as his contemporaries like Johnny Lever, Kader Khan, and Satish Kaushik. He also reportedly never made much money out of his work, but won the hearts anyway.
RIP Razak Khan. Your quirky comedy will always be missed leaving a void in Bollywood.
