Biografia

Kader Khan is 88 years old, an actor, from India.

Kader Khan was an Indian actor, screenwriter and film producer. As an actor, he appeared in over 300 Bollywood films after his acting debut in the film Daag in 1973, starring Rajesh Khanna, as a prosecuting attorney. He was a prolific actor and screenwriter in Hindi cinema, from the late 1970s to 1990s and wrote dialogues for 200 films. Born in Afghanistan, Khan graduated from Ismail Yusuf College affiliated to Mumbai University.

Before entering the film industry in 1971, he was a professor of civil engineering in M. H. Saboo Siddik College of Engineering, Mumbai. Kader Khan was born in Kabul , Afghanistan , on 22 October 1937 into a Sunni Muslim family. Khan was an ethnic Pashtun of the Kakar tribe. His father was Maulvi Abdul Rahman Khan from Kandahar , Afghanistan while his mother was Iqbal Begum from Pishin in the Baluchistan Province of British India (now in Balochistan, Pakistan ).

Khan's father was a scholar of Islam , a postgraduate in Arabic and Urdu , who opened an Islamic institute in the Netherlands to teach Islam to the local Dutch , and he often tasked Khan to translate books into Arabic . Khan had three brothers, Shams ur Rehman, Fazal Rehman and Habib ur Rehman. His cousin Akbar Khan Kakar hosted a popular show on Radio Pakistan 's Quetta branch. Khan was raised in the Kamathipura neighbourhood of Mumbai after his family moved there from Kabul .

Khan had described the locality as being known for drug-peddlers, bootleggers and prostitution. He enrolled in a local municipal school and later in the Ismail Yusuf College after which he graduated in engineering, specialising in civil engineering . Between 1970 and 1975, he taught at M. H. Saboo Siddik College of Engineering in Byculla as a professor of civil engineering . Subjects he taught included applied mathematics and mechanics .

As a teacher, he was known for making these subjects more accessible to the weaker students. Mainly inspired by Russian literature and culture, with figures such as Stanislavsky , Chekhov and Dostoevsky , Khan used to write plays for colleges, also acting in them, while he was still a teacher. While performing in a play named Taash Ke Patey , he was noted by comedian Agha who then suggested actor Dilip Kumar to see the play.

Dilip Kumar was impressed and signed him up for his next films, Sagina and Bairaag . During an interview with Rediff , Khan recalled this as the incident that started his film career. He used to write plays for theatres and was subsequently offered to write the script of Jawani Diwani , which started his career as a scriptwriter and for which Khan received 1500 rupees.
