The world of comedy lost the legend. Umer Sharif was famous for his comedies not just in Pakistan but in the sub-continent. Unfortunately, his life journey ended in Germany. The legend was not in health and was going for treatment. On 28 September Sharif had boarded an air ambulance for treatment at a hospital in the US. However, his condition deteriorated on the way, and was admitted to a hospital during a stopover in Germany. The sharpest wit left the world at the age of 66.
Dr. Mohammad Faisal, Pakistan’s ambassador to Germany confirmed the news of Sharif’s demise. He tweeted that: “With deep sorrow, it is announced that Mr. Umer Sharif has passed away in Germany.” He expressed his condolence and said that: “Our deepest condolences to his family and friends. Our CG is present at the hospital to assist the family in every way.”
Indeed each comedy lover would miss the prominent figure. May Allah Almighty grant him the Highest rank in Al-Jannah and bless his soul with eternal peace.
