Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

all weekend i have been watching clips of his various plays, shows, interviews and i am astounded with the wonder that was Moin Akhtar, to watch the body of his work back to back makes me realize the enormity of his talent. The depth and quality of his work just keeps getting better with time without ever compromising his distinct style and principles. He never poked fun at people for the sake of maskharapan, it was always intelligent well thought out humour that the guests and audience alike enjoyed, looking at life and people from a lighter note but never putting them or their accomplishments down, even in his parodies which were never crude, crass or disrespectful.

makes me realize how sadly hosting and comedy has deteriorated today, our tv hosts and comedians now really need to watch him and his work to learn how things are done right. that's what he has left behind, a treasure trove of an institute all by itself.

@DramayBazz he was very sophisticated and never crossed the line of decency

He was beloved for providing humor for people of all ages, and with an etiquette that remains unmatched. His attempts to avoid vulgarity in his humor rendered him a favorite amongst family audiences. Akhtar was fluent in several languages, including English, Bengali, Sindhi, Punjabi, Memon, Pushto, Gujarati and Urdu. He performed not only in Pakistan but played in several stage shows like Bakra Qiston Pe and Buddha Ghar Pe Hai with Umer Sharif in India too.[4]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moin_Akhtar#cite_note-3)


This great quality alone separates Moin from all other comedians incl. Umer Sharif (though Moin was also vastly more gifted and talented than Umer). There was never any vulgarity or obscenity in his humour

@Naabigh can you please take off this video?.... thora sa tau lihaz aur ehteraam karna chahiye it can be disturbing.

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

Exactly! People, please show some respect to the dead and refrain from posting such pictures.

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

and how was that exactly disrespectful ?

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

And how ? well if it could be then why do people watch dead people's faces before burying them ?

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

looking at them before burying is different from putting a picture of a person in kafan when he has been buried.

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

do you think ppl enjoy looking at dead ppl's faces? I don't see the point of taking pictures of a dead person floating it around the net as if its some piece of 'ajooba'. I also consider it an invasion of privacy because his family members might not like this.

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

Agreed. We always want to keep a live Moin Akhtar in our memories. I don't believe that stars are public property, there work might be.

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

well it is neither fun nor invasion of the privacy .... such clips of celebrities are always air'd / televised/printed upon their departure .. the clip /picture was on most of the national /domestic newspapers the very next day ....

stop living in your shells - people !

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

^ just because it was on every newspaper does not make it right! our print/electronic media will sell their own soul to make a quick buck, its distasteful, morbid and disrespectful. period!

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

i agree with the last comment.

i am feeling very sad over the last few days as people who i knew from childhood,who i have seen and admired are passing away way before their time.its heartbreaking.

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

our electronic media has no ethics whatsoever they would even show gross voilence to increase their TRP's..very strange you're quoting their example to support your case!

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

same here... those were the ppl I grew up watching!

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away

Re: Famous artist Moin Akhter passes away
