Tariq Teddy (12 August 1976 – 19 November 2022) was a Pakistani theatre comedian in Punjabi,[1] known for his quick, sharp replies.

Personal life

[edit]

Teddy was born in Faisalabad, Punjab, in 1976, into a family involved in furniture business.[2]

He had three children, a son and two daughters.[2]

In 2015, his wife Asma filed a case in court because Teddy didn't pay for the children's domestic expenses, leading to his arrest warrants.[3][4][5]

Career

[edit]

Teddy performed in Punjabi stage dramas, beginning in 1990,[6] and also acted in films such as Salakhein.

His comedic persona was a fierce rival of the late fellow comedian Mastana, though the two were close friends off the stage.

Death

[edit]

Teddy died in Lahore on 19 November 2022, at the age of 46. According to Teddy's son, his father had respiratory and hepatic issues, had been ill for a while, and had spent his last ten days receiving treatment at PKLI Hospital.[7][8][9][10]
