हबीब जैसे कलाकार समाज को एक आइना दिखाते है; ये मेरा सौभाग्य है की मैंने उन्हें काम और स्वयं उन्हें दिल्ली के रंग मंच पर करीब से देखा। हबीब उनके चहेतों की आंखों मैं सदा अमर हैं.

Hey....That was an amazing video. Can very understand the time and energy that has been spent on making this. I especially loved the Introduction to the play by the elderly person. Very different and sets expectations right --- Vai
I'm glad you honored this man. You have to have real passion to dedicate yourself to theatre when it doesn't pay your bills in India. And I really loved the part in the end where the German theatre worker allowed him to smoke!
