Waqar Nawaz, the brother of popular actors and directors Yasir Nawaz and Danish Nawaz, has passed away.
Yasir Nawaz, who is married to well-known television host Nida Yasir, shared the heartbreaking news through his Instagram story early Tuesday morning. Though he did not go into detail about the cause of death, Yasir did confirm the funeral arrangements and asked everyone to pray for his brother.
“Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. With deep sorrow, we share that our beloved and caring brother Waqar Nawaz has passed away,” he wrote. “May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, grant him the highest place in Jannat-ul-Firdous, and give patience and strength to his family – Ameen.”
He also shared the funeral details: “The Janazah (funeral) prayer will be held today, 24th June, after Zuhr prayers (1:30 PM sharp) at Rehmania Masjid, Tariq Road, Karachi.”
“We kindly request you to remember him in your duas. Ameen,” he concluded.
Waqar Nawaz was one of the four Nawaz brothers, alongside Yasir, Danish, and Dr. Faraz. They also have a sister named Anzalna.
The Nawaz siblings are children of the late Fareed Nawaz Baloch, a legendary figure in Pakistan’s television industry known for his remarkable contributions.
May Allah grant the departed soul peace and give strength to the grieving family.
