People across the kingdom are mourning the sad passing of renowned Bahraini artist Ali Al Ghurair who brought laughter and joy to television watchers in Bahrain. The 51-year-old, who acted primarily in television series since 1990 playing iconic roles such as Tafash in Sawalif Tafash and Mahdi in Sadoun, had a heart attack on January 12. In his 30 year career, he worked in 50 shows, five movies and 13 plays in Bahrain and the GCC. He was beloved by young and old. His fans took to social media to voice their sadness and how much they will all miss him.
Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, His Majesty King Hamad’s representative for charity work and youth affairs and the Royal Charity Organisation (RCO) board of trustees chairman, stated that the RCO will take care of the late actors’ children.
