His contributions to stage plays, television and dramas is immense. Dr Enamul was also successful as a playwright, who was also popular among his peers for being a wonderful teacher. I have always been very proud of him.
He was an extremely humble and down to earth person, who knew very well how to respect people.
We couldn't see each other during the whole period of COVID-19 lockdowns, and this fact always upsets me. He was an extremely talented person and I feel his absence every second of my life.

He had an incredible depth of knowledge about everything: Suborna Mustafa
I used to call Dr Enamul Haque my teacher, as he had an incredible depth of knowledge about everything. My father was his colleague and together they worked in the industry for many decades.
He was a truly enlightened person. On the one hand, he spread the light amongst his students through teaching, while on the other, he spread light on the theatre workers through his stage plays.
Dr Enamul was a gentleman and avoided anything negative. He was an ardent supporter of the Liberation War and he passed down his ideologies to the future generations.
