Razzak said about his birthday, As time passes by, I have completed 75 years of my life and stepping into 76 today. By the grace of Allah and with everyones blessings, I am still physically sound. It always reminds me about my family members, including my parents, when my birthday arrives; especially, I feel for my father and mother so much on the day of my birthday. I always pray that may Allah grant them Jannah. I believe that as I was born to the parents like them, I enjoyed the much colourful life of a hero.
My wife Lakkhi with immense love and affection has been taking care of our family after our marriage. Truly, I am intensely indebted to her. Its a matter of my satisfaction and great pride as a father that my children have grown up in an appropriate manner as good human beings. Besides, the people of Bangladesh have honoured me by giving a prestigious place of Nayak Raj, and every single moment, I can feel their unconditional love.
Though Razzak did not act in any film during last one year due to illness, he worked in a few productions for the small screen under the direction of his son Shamrat. A special telefilm titled Daybhar, starring Razzak in a lead role, was aired on Channel i on his birthday last year.
