I cannot believe that we lost such great human being who perpetually had a smile on his face and who worked hard to put the same smile on everyone's face with his iconic characters such as Terbal in ‘Swalef Tafash’.
The duo of Terbal and his friend Gherbal, portrayed by Khalil Al Rumaithy, is like the Bahraini version of 'Laurel and Hardy'. A performance that is etched in the hearts of children who grew up watching them.
I was lucky to be invited for the premiere of his last film 'Terbal Rayeh Gai'. A story about a Bahraini man who wants to be a wizard to save his sick mother and he goes to Egypt to learn to be one where he faces a lot of incidents, a comedy movie that I enjoyed a lot.
My friend, who I went with to watch the premiere, told me lets go catch up with them in their celebration at a diner in Adliya. His father is a movie producer from Egypt and I got the chance to meet the whole crew at the premiere in City Centre Bahrain. It was an unforgettable night!
Ali Al Ghurair was defiantly one of the most recognisable actors of all time... we will never forget him.
