Syed Atif Hussain’s successful dramas include Maamta, Waada, Zindaan, and the ongoing Babban Khala Ki Betiyan.
I just read this sad news that he died. My name is Atif Hussain. Around 15 years ago, I met him as he was searching someone with the same name. He called me at my cell number and said that he wanted to meet me. I went to Shahrae Faisal near PSO pump and he came in his Toyota Vitz car. He was really very kind hearted and great person. Still I have his cell number.
May Allah grant his soul in Jannah. Ameen
