The Appearance
The appearance of Misir Ali may be a mystery in itself. His physical description is not fully given anywhere in the books. It is said that he is a middle-aged man. It is also often stated that he is tall, thin, and wears thick powerful glasses. It has been stated multiple times in the stories that he has strangely intelligent eyes.
In some Bangladeshi teleplays, Misir Ali is portrayed as bearded or with a moustache. Whether he really has a beard or a moustache may be questioned. It has been confirmed by the author himself in one of his autobiographies that Misir Ali has a headful of hair, thick-framed glasses, and unshaven stubble. These are the only constant aspects of his appearance.
