With the artist's birthday drawing closer, media correspondent spoke with Masud Ali Khan to see how the artiste has been doing.

Do you have any regrets in life?

No, I don't have any regrets. I don't really worry about what I could not achieve. Rather, I am happy with what I have got. I believe that God has showered me with the love of the masses. How many people get this sort of love in their life? This is probably the greatest achievement of an actor's life. I am grateful to the Almighty for still keeping me alive and to the people for giving me so much love and respect.

How long has it been since you were last able to work as an actor?

I haven't been able to act for four years now. The last thing I was able to be a part of, was an episode of Ityadi, one year ago. But I have not worked in a drama or series for four years. I really want to act; however I am no longer able to. Having spent my entire life acting, it is difficult to stay away from it, particularly because so many people I know are involved in this profession. It does sadden me quite a lot that I am no longer able to act.
