The demise of actor
Rizabawa has left the entertainment industry shocked. The actor, who has been undergoing treatment for his kidney-related ailment, breathed his last on Monday (September 13) in Kochi.
Paying a tribute to the actor, Kavitha Nair has penned a heartwarming note on her social media account.
"Riza Bavkka, as you continue the journey ahead, I pray for your soul.
Honoured to have worked with him. He was one of those very few actors who treated cinema and television equally. I played his daughter in my last work and I can never forget how he worked on that project even though he was unwell.. in a wheelchair.. he told me acting keeps him in full spirits.. and family :) how fondly he talked about his daughter and grandchild," she wrote.
Further, in the note, Kavitha shared fond memories of meeting the actor for the first time.
"The first time I met him, he made me sit near.. there he was standing and talking about a project of mine he had watched.. when I wanted to talk about him he made me stop and continued discussing the scenes he watched.. apparently that was aired years back and I felt so heart full that day. I was wondering how can anyone with that amount of experience talk about the other person’s little good things. Maybe that’s something I find common in all the wonderful ppl I have met. They celebrate others..May Allah gives you eternal peace," she added.
