Akram Khorami, a famous Afghan actor, passed away on Tuesday.

Mr Khorami spent 30 years of his life in Afghan cinema and has acted in different roles in films.

After acting in different films including Meeting with Top Brasses, Slave of Love, Siege, Men of Word, he become much more famous among the Afghan people.

He has left five offspring behind, including two sons and three daughters.

He was born in 1931 in Kabul in Murad Khani.

Khorami had recently moved to a house living a lonely life where he died aged eighty.

He graduated from Estiqlal High School in Kabul and then started to work for a bank in Kabul.

He stepped into the cinema world when he was 32.

But during shooting a scene some three years ago, he got some injuries on his back which later sidelined him to continue acting.

Some Afghan actors said art and cinema have hugely been ignored by the government.

"Information and Culture Ministry visited him for many times and helped him," Abdul Latif, Head of Afghan Film, told TOLOnews.

Afghan cinema actors urged the government to step up some measures to improve Afghan cinema and make it global.
