The final farewell

The thick crowd at FDC and Shaheed Minar were impenetrable as everyone flooded in to catch a last glimpse of the beloved actor Nayak Raj Razzak. The proceedings began at FDC at 11am as his body was carried in through the gates. Minister of Information Hasanul Haq Inu was among the key members present at the premises.

Actors and admirers arrived on the scene with flowers and bouquets to pay their respects. The atmosphere was heavy with grief as noted actors spanning several generations, such as Bobita, Champa, Shuchanda and Bubly, broke down near his coffin.

The grieving crowd was joined by Kobori Sarwar, a noted actress known for pairing up with the late actor in most film ventures. Actor Hasan Imam appeared thereafter to express his condolences.

The crowd grew massively as the day wore on. “This is a great sign of the lasting impact he has made on everybody, and the great love we all possess for him,” said Debashish Biswas.

“When actor Manna left all of us, we thought FDC had seen the biggest crowd in its history. Countless have poured in again at Nayak Raj Razzak's final farewell,” said several actors on the scene.

A janaza prayer followed, involving only the members of the film industry and other close acquaintances. The late actor's son Bapparaj opened the ceremony with a speech about his father.

The event was followed by a final viewing of Razzak at Shaheed Minar for all admirers and followers of the late great actor. The initiative was arranged by Sammilita Sanskritik Jote.
