KARACHI: The National Academy of Performing Arts-NAPA has presented its former faculty member and renowned thespian Talat Hussain with a memento in recognition of his services to the Academy in particular and the performing arts in general.
The Chairman of NAPA’s Board of Directors, Syed Jawaid Iqbal, and CEO Junaid Zuberi paid a visit to Talat Hussain’s residence where the memento was presented to him.
Speaking informally on the occasion, the Chairman paid glowing tributes to Talat Hussain for his contribution in the field of Radio, TV, Film, and most notably Theater, saying he remains one of the few people from a generation that had mesmerized the stage in all fields with the nuance that is hard to find in most of the performers. Talat Hussain, he said, would remain a beacon of perfection for those who would follow him in the field of teaching acting as well as the practitioners of the art itself.
Talat Hussain was a member of NAPA’s theater faculty from the inception of the academy till his failing health forced him to retire two years ago. Though he is not accepting guests these days, his family made a special exception to meet with the NAPA delegation.
