The comedian’s funds have run dry, having been spent on medical bills, after he lost partial function of his body to paralysis almost three years ago. Some state officials had then stepped up to help him in his treatment.

Pakistani actors and actresses have time and again been ignored by the government despite providing decades-long entertainment.

Only recently we have lost actor Matloob-ur-Rehman and actress Nusrat Ara Begum to prolonged ailments. They have essayed roles of Zakoota and Bill Balotri respectively in Ainak Wala Jinn.
