Kader Khan was one of the most talented professionals Indian cinema had ever seen. Most of the dialogues of Amitabh Bachchan which are clapworthy are thanks to Kader Khan. Many remember him from his comedy films but our memories go back to the times when we watched him on Do Aur Do Paanch, Qurbani, Yaarana and more. In the 90s, he was one of the quintessential faces in every other comedy movie be it a Govinda starrer or anybody else. Kader Khan Birth Anniversary: 5 Times The Legendary Actor Epitomised The Adage 'Abba Nahi Manenge' in Movies Much Before 3 Idiots Happened.

And the one fine day, Kader Khan quit everything!

When asked about his absence from the industry, Kader Khan revealed to Rediff, "I went away from the industry because all the people I enjoyed working with, like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra, are no more. They were institutions; they were my teachers and my students. They taught me a few things and learned a few things from me. They left this world and went away, so I lost interest in my work."

Kader Khan also added that he did work for a few more years with David Dhawan and Govinda, "but I loved writing and slowly, it was taken away from me. Till the time I worked, I was writing my own dialogues. I would even correct Govinda's dialogue. But writing the whole script gives you more satisfaction. That's why I left the industry." Kader Khan Birth Anniversary: Did You Know The Legendary Actor Had Directed Two Iconic Scenes of Amitabh Bachchan?.

Guess this is what happens when you are a supremely talented person. Kader Khan is missed every day because we don't have whistle-worthy dialogues anymore or a funny man like him in movies.
