No new stories of your acting adventures or trips, no more playing cards or fighting over the fact that someone cheated in ludo (because nana tou nai haar sakte ludo mein). We’ll miss meeting you before every exam where ‘nana mere liye bohat dua karni hai’ took us a long way and how good a result we had to bring because we used to get money from Nana. We want to tell you that all your grandchildren will make sure to carry your legacy forward, the way you were kind to everyone and had the biggest heart a person could have. We love you and we always will. – apke pyare bache. Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.” Read here:
Talking to the media, his younger daughter said, “How can a daughter feel after her father’s death? It seems that I have lost my shelter; it’s a painful time for us. I came home from the hospital last night and just got the news that he passed away. He was a loving husband, loving father, and a caring friend. Everyone praises him. He was so kind with his daughters. Till the time he was conscious, he was replying to all the questions. Ultimately, we all have to die, so we should remember our final destination. He used to get sick more often but would recover. This time, he has a severe cardiac arrest along with renal failure at an older age, so he couldn’t recover. It became the reason for his death.” Watch here:
Talking about his death, his brother said, “We had a close relationship. I can’t express our relationship in words. He was like a saint, a loving person who used to shower love on everyone. He was a caring person. I have no words to express my grief. Asim was deeply in love with his mother. He was a learned man, who loved to discuss Bullah Shah, and the last thing we discussed was Bullah Shah. When I was leaving him, he just stopped me and said, ‘Let me share another verse of Bhullah Shah with you.’ Asim had no negativity; he was a positive and constructive person. His wife is a great woman who took care of him through thick and thin. She is an ideal lady.”
