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