"I admire writers, and in my profession also I THINK that a writer's contribution is most vital. Whichever performance by any actor was admired, it's been because those roles or scenes were well-written, " the 62-year-old said here Tuesday on the launch of doctor-author Satyen Nabar's debut novel "A Bolt Of Lightning".
"That's why only actors don't deserve all of the credit. Writing is a difficult job. To jot down comprehensively and entertainingly is a large task, " he added.
Naseer also recalled a time when famous writer Gulzar was dealing with a tricky phase but his writing helped him sail through troubled waters.
"Gulzar bhai told me once that after he was facing a difficult time, when his films were failing, he had no reason to visit his office. But he said, 'I went there every morning, industriously, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and he sat and wrote.
'I don't know what I wrote, most of that I'VE tossed away but that writing regularly kept him sane.' These are Gulzar bhai's own words, " said Naseeruddin.
Some of Naseer's epic roles were in films "Nishant", "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron", "Masoom", "Ijaazat" and "Bazaar", Ishqiya" and lots of more.
He was recently seen within the role of a police officer in "Maximum."
