Veteran Actor Masood Akhtar passes away in Lahore aged 82
Veteran Actor Masood Akhtar passed away in Lahore aged 82 on Saturday.
His funeral prayers will be offered after Asar’s prayers at Usman Block, Gulshan-e-Ravi.
Masood Akhtar was admitted to the hospital almost a month ago after his health deteriorated as he suffered from lung cancer.
It was five months ago when his son passed away of a cancer diagnosis.
Recipient of the ‘Pride of Performance Award’ has played notable roles in various dramas, films, and theatre.
One of his early plays, Paisa Bolta Hai was staged at Alhamra in the 1970s and it earned him immense popularity.
Following the news of his demise tributes and condolences are pouring in on social media.
Late Mr Masood Akhtar played the main role of a labour leader in my ptv Lahore May Day play which ended with the singing of the "Internationale". His ideological commitment was so inspiring. One could write and act in such plays when Bibi Sahiba Shaheed was PM.
