The fact that Pakistanis from every generation feel bereaved following Qazi Wajid’s demise speaks volumes about the number of lives he touched with his unmatched talent during his lifetime.
With Qazi Wajid no more with us, a glorious era of Pakistani television has come to an end. While the nation remains indebted to the great actor for his remarkable contributions, we all know that Qazi Sahab shall live through his work and continue to spread smiles even beyond his existence.
REST IN PEACE SIR!
