Behzad Farahani Attends Enayat Bakhshi’s Funeral: Honoring the Life of an Actor
Transition from Military Service to Artistic Pursuits
Following initial success in theater, Bakhshi served in the military, enlisting in the Air Force, where he pursued electronics and English courses, demonstrating his broad intellectual interests. After completing his military service, which lasted approximately a decade, he made a decisive shift towards full-time acting and theatrical production. He was employed by the Department of Theatre, where he further refined his craft and became one of the most prominent figures in theater circles.
His dedication to the arts was complemented by his personal life. In 1970, he married Simin Bazarjani, a distinguished screenwriter known for her work on various acclaimed projects. The couple had a son named Arash, and they lived in the city, balancing personal commitments with their shared passion for storytelling and artistic expression.
