Today marks the fourth death anniversary of one of Pakistan's most celebrated comic actors, Moin Akhtar, who left a lasting legacy with his memorable impersonations and unparalleled comic timing. While Akhtar's TV shows had a following few others could match, the actor's stage routines and mimicry set him apart from a generation of comics. His most popular acts include Studio 2.5, Studio 2.75, Aangan Terha, Fifty-Fifty, Such Much and the remarkable portrayal of Rozy, a character inspired by the Hollywood film Tootsie. The Pakistan icon also dabbled in poetry and music, and has a number of music albums to his credit.
