People's Artist, State Laureate Nabi Rakhimov was born in Kokand in 1911. His father was a craftsman: he fixed locks, kerosene lamps, mended buckets, and Nabi helped his father from a young age. But he was drawn to the great theater. 15-year-old Nabi learnt to play the clarinet in a brass band, participates in a group of artistic amateurs.
Nabi Rakhimov was brought to the theater by Mirshahid Miroqilov (people's artist, comedian). If you ask the artist, "What is the most difficult job for you?", he would probably answer, "Audience is difficult to cry, but it is easier to laugh." Nabi Rakhimov was an actor who mastered both these tasks. Nabi Rakhimov brought joy and laughter with him wherever he was.
Nabi Rakhimov's first role on the professional stage was the role of Yegor in D. Furmanov's play "Rebellion". From his first role, he was recognized as a young talent. Later, he worked in theater productions named after Hamza: the role of Nodiriy in the stage play "Hamza", the role of Tikhon in "Thunderstorm", the role of Mamadali in " Risky joke", Trufaldino in "Princess Turandot", Laerta in "Hamlet", "Without a dowry" Karandish and played many other roles. In 1942, Nabi Rakhimov went to the front, he raised the spirits of his regimental comrades with his jokes between small breaks. He returns home in 1943 and immediately begins work on the role of Iago in Othello. This role was played by Olim Khojayev for two years before that. Nabi embodied this role in a completely different interpretation. Abror Khidoyatov, a tragic talent, started acting in Shakespeare's play - the role of Othello. The talented performance of the role of Yago (Nabi Rakhimov) also brought fame to the play.
The representatives of the English Parliament left the following note in the book of performances of the theater: "We considered the play "Othello" staged at the Hamza Theater to be the best. Nabi Rakhimov and Abror Khidoyatov gave special atmosphere to the performance. We express our respect and admiration to them." Nabi Rakhimov's experience is in playing both comedic and tragic roles at once. Every role played by Nabi Rakhimov seems to have been specially written for him, and that's why the actor completely got into the role.
The highest level of acting skills embodied the role of a father in the play "Colorful Silence". This is a stage play about two great legendary actors - Sora Eshontorayeva and Nabi Rakhimov, who have been living together for 50 years. There were comedy and tragedy in these two stars. In the last scene of the play, the old people meet again to say goodbye. Knowing that this is the last meeting, Nabi fully plays this picture. He laughs jokingly at his wife, and their dance... Now it's time to say goodbye, he wants something, he wants to give a flower, but we understand that he doesn't have it. Then, clutching in his pocket, he looks for a tablecloth and presents it to his lover, tying it in the shape of a flower. The audience gave them a standing ovation for a long time after the actors' excellent performance. His wife was by his side all his life. He died in 1993. N. Rakhimov had a hard time with this separation. At his wife's funeral, he said: "Lyuba, I will come forward soon." A year later, Nabi Rakhimov also died.
