PTV era is considered to be the golden era of Pakistani dramas. We have seen many hit dramas and stars that were made in those times. All the veteran talent of our dramas was discovered through PTV and there were stories and scripts that may not be made or air today. One such hit drama of the era is Nijaaat which brought stars like Nauman Ijaz and Atiqa Odho together on screen. People loved the 18 episode drama and it has millions of fans even today.
One young actor of the drama who won hearts with his good performance and cuteness was Sajjad Hassan who played the innocent Kashi on screen. Like all the other actors of the drama and what PTV standards were at the time, Sajjad aka Kashi stood out in Nijaat.
Fans of the drama wanted to know what actually happened to the young actor as he completely disappeared from the screen. A Facebook page titled Alpha Bravo Charlie Drama got on the mission and found Sajjad’s cousin online. They were also able to get a new picture of the young star.
Turns out Sajjad was studying medicine in Houston, Texas in the USA in 2007. He was in third year when he was diagnosed with Lymphoma, a type of cancer. He died the same year and the picture provided was from a year before. Fans were devastated to know about this detail and shared their condolences:
