A life of endless sufferings.
Her life was a tableau of endless suffering. Her art an incandescent testament to her talent. The gift of genius came with an exacting price – she fell deeper into a crevasses of her unquiet mind. May she truly, finally, be in peace now #RoohiBano pic.twitter.com/4J54YLxR3Q

That is Now Our Culture, to express our expression via social network but never went to her/his home or to recite fatiha.
ALLAHA Maghfirat Kare Aaameen
i guess her family is responsible for her illness..she was highly educated and see she was still helpless…difficult to believe a renowned n highly famous actress will go through all this…shocking for me
