Subject: Nasser Khan the hero of the film 'Shadow'
Dear Friends,
The National Association for the Blind, (India) had organized a Dance
Competition for the Visually Challenged Persons in Mumbai today at its Worli
Seaface Complex. Shri Naseer Khan who played a lead role in the film 'Shadow'
was the Chief Guest for the occasion. I had an opportunity to interact with
him, and I found him very jovial, vibrant and full of life.
In conversation with him I gathered following information:
He was born with congenital cataract and became totally blind at the age of 16.
At the age of 8, a house tutor was arranged for his basic education where he
was taught Mathematics, Urdu and Arabic. 5 years later he sought admission in
STD V in a small school at Kanpur. He used magnifying glasses to read the
books, that also became difficult with gradual detoriation of his sight.
Although he was a topper in the Class he left the school in STD VII. He
learned typing then completed his Diploma Course in Electronics wherein he
learnt to repair electronic goods. Later on he switched over to tanning of
leather which was his traditional business. With the help of his elder brother
who read books on tanning he learned about the trade. Soon, he mastered the
art of leather tanning. Finally in the year 1995 he formed his first self
owned Leather tanning business, and became a renowned tannery owner in Kanpur.
Repairing electronics and tanning leather was not enough so he enrolled himself
in Computer Education, and learnt programming and got himself into the IT field
wherein he set up many Computer Training Centres in U.P. in the year 2000. He
also became the first blind person to pass all 4 Certification of Microsoft.
Post setting up of his above two businessess, he further went into learning
about detergents and cosmetic products and developed his own unique formulas in
detergent. He also venturmed in real estate and insurance sector.
Inspite of having less education he appears to be a very accomplished and
learned individual. He is well read and avid chess player. Besides his
business abilities he is also a good swimmer, rides a bike, drives a car and
plays the Harmonium. He forms a company 'Great Entertainments' and produce the
film 'Shadow' in which he performed thrilling stunts like any other able bodied
actor.
Naseer delivered a very motivating speech at the Prize Distribution function
for the Dance Competition and generously announced a 5 days free tour to
Thailand for two persons for the 1st winner and 3 days free tour at any
destination in India for the runners up. He also informed that he was
unnecessarily dragged in a controversy and was charged as an ISI agent for
which he had filed a Defamation Suit in the court.
With regards,
SUHAS V. KARNIK
