Dr KS Nisar Ahmed

Nityotsava

Ramesh Aravind
He was a force in Kannada

literature

. His Kurigalu sir kurigalu refering to herd mentality of public became first title of our superhit sir comedy series. He was very cordial and warm to me whenever I met him in filmi functions. I will always remember him in suit and tie.


Upendra
Senior literary figure and the creator of Nityotsava, KS Nisar Ahmed is no more. This is a big loss to the literary world.


Puneeth Rajkumar
Nisar Ahmed, the man who gave us Nityotsava, is no more. His contribution to literature remains immortal.

We Kannadigas, who learned to love our language immensely from you, are blessed. Every day will be a festival with your works.

Every artist starts his journey with inspirations but in this process he should explore himself. Only when he understands himself, he can come up with an art which is truly his... I can never forget these words from you. Thank you for inspiring many of us.
