With deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Bashir Ahmad Bhat, famously known as Bashir Qutur — a legendary comedian and actor of Jammu and Kashmir. His unmatched contribution to Kashmiri folk theatre and comedy has enriched our cultural heritage in ways words cannot express. This is a tremendous loss to the artistic and cultural fabric of our land.
Shahejahan Ahmad bhagat Chairman All Kashmir Folk Artists Association Wathoora extends heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. May Allah grant the departed soul the highest place in Jannah and give strength to the family in this difficult time.

Condolence Message
Shah-e-Jahan Ahmad Bhagat
Chairman, All Kashmir Folk Artists Association

I am deeply pained by the passing of Pabung Ratan Thiyam, an iconic figure in Indian theatre — a legendary playwright, visionary director, cultural reformer, and former Chairperson of the National School of Drama.

His remarkable contributions to the world of art and theatre elevated Indian performing arts to global recognition. His creative genius and commitment to cultural expression will forever remain a source of inspiration.

On behalf of the All Kashmir Folk Artists Association, I offer my heartfelt condolences to his bereaved family, friends, admirers, and the entire artistic community.

The nation has lost a true cultural pillar.
May his noble soul rest in eternal peace. 🙏
