ina lila hai wa ina elehai rajeoon!

our whole family have been in shock ever since we heard the news on ary 1 world news on saturday night. Hassam Qazi was a gr8 actor and no doubt he'll be missed on the silver screen in pak as well as by his 3 kids and his wife.

i watched the super hit drama marvi as a kid and umar saumro stood out as one of the best actors in that drama alongside ghazal siddiqui and over the last 10 years he had excelled and really grown in stature as a actor and a person, every one in the industry spoke highly of him.

hassam qazi's body was taken to Quetta for burial at Old Railway Graveyard at 10am on Sunday morning.

one of hassam qazi's latest drama khaali ankhein directed by his best bud' zulfi aka zulfikar sheikh is being telecasted on ary digital.

but we r from allah and to whom we shall all return.

Isn't he the guy who played Umar Somro in the drama serial Marvi? Marvi's friend Leila's brother? That's so sad, R.I.P, may Allah forgive him his sins and grant him a home in Heaven, ameen.

Inna lillahee wa inna illahee rajioon.
I remember him in Marvi.

**hayaa** · Jul 18th, 2004, 09:54 PM

My mom was just watching some drama and I watched with her for a bit...and she commented on how he passed away last week. I still can't get over it.. he was so young. And I sat thinking about it for a long while; I couldn't recall which serial I saw him first in, and yes shinzi's right, it was marvi. It's so sad. He leaves behind a two month old baby. Life is so cruel.
