Stage and screen actor Oliul Haque Rumi passed away early yesterday morning. He was suffering from cancer and was undergoing treatment in the hospital. He was a member of Natyadal Theatre. In a post on the Facebook group of Abhinaya Shilpi Sangh yesterday, it is said that ‘Honorable member of Abhiniya Shili Sangh Bangladesh and our dear colleague Oliul Haque Rumi Bhai has left us today to the land of no return. We are deeply moved by the passing of a dear colleague.
We all yearn to say goodbye to a dear colleague or catch a glimpse of him for the last time. But his family said the doctor advised to complete the burial as soon as possible. The family members therefore quickly left for Rumi Bhai’s beloved birthplace Barisal. We respect the family’s decision and pray for the repose of the beloved colleague and offer our condolences to the bereaved family.’
After being diagnosed with cancer, he went to India for treatment a month ago. He also received treatment in a hospital in Dhaka. All efforts failed. Rumi has been acting for more than three decades. He acted in many dramas and movies during this long journey. The news of his death cast a shadow of grief among his colleagues. Many mourned the actor on Facebook.
Rumi started acting in 1988 with the play ‘Ekhno Kritdas’ at Theater Bailey Road.
In the same year, he made his debut on the small screen with the play ‘Kon Kanan Phool’ and has acted in television as well as in movies. In 2009, Rumi acted for the first time in the film ‘Dariapar Daulati’.
