Teary bye to silver screen legend Kabori

Sunday, 18 April 2021



Bangladesh cinema legend Sarah Begum Kabori, who passed away in the early hours of Saturday, has been laid to rest with full state honours at Dhaka's Banani graveyard, reports bdnews24.com.
People from disparate walks of life said their goodbyes to the beloved actress with flowers, heartfelt messages and a funeral prayer. Social media came alight with the long-treasured pictures of Kabori, rekindling her legacy in Bangladesh's filmdom and social life.
A legion of her fans that she left behind at home and abroad posted teary messages on social media, recollecting their precious moments with the actress in the film industry and beyond.
Kabori was accorded a guard of honour by the Dhaka district administration, ahead of her burial, for her contribution to the 1971 Liberation War. The event was relatively low-key due to the pandemic lockdown.
The mortal remains of Kabori were taken to the graveyard premises around 1 pm Saturday. Several organisations, including Sammilita Sangskritik Jote and Bangladesh Cholochitro Shilpi Samiti, and Dhaka North Mayor Atiqul Islam paid tribute to her at the graveyard premises.
