Ever since the reversal of the lockdown, coronavirus cases have been on the rise in Pakistan. Especially due to the carelessness of the general public and the lack of SoPs. In an attempt to get daily lives to go back to normal by reopening workplaces to educational institutes, the people, however, have forgotten that the virus ever existed. They were soon delivered a sharp reminder as Mirza Shahi passed away after being tested positive for coronavirus.
Mirza Shahi was diagnosed as positive a week back and lost his battle against the virus on Tuesday, September 29, 2020. His condition worsened substantially once he contracted the virus and soon after was shifted onto a ventilator at the Civil Hospital.
Mirza Shahi began his acting career in the 1960s with the film “Kaisay Kahun” in 1965 and is also known to have starred in film star Nadeem’s first movie “Chakori” in 1967. He began by starring in movies in East Pakistan, but with the fall of Dhaka he chose to move to Karachi due to personal reasons, and soon after his move; he resumed his acting career, he is known for many of PTV’s drama serials such as the famous comedy series, “Fifty Fifty.”
As TV progressed, Mirza Shahi moved on to working with several private production houses. More of his recent work can be seen in “Nadaniyan” in the 2000s, which also starred Nida Yasir, Yasir Nawaz, and Danish Nawaz.
The team of Nadaniyan was quick to take to social media and request their fans to pray for the recovery of Mirza Shahi’s health. “Please pray for Mirza Shahi sahib. He is in critical condition and needs all your prayers,” the three actors wrote as they posted an old photo from their show on their respective social media platforms.
