Actor Sumbul Shahid dies from coronavirus
Veteran actor Sumbul Shahid passed away on Thursday after a long battle with the novel coronavirus.
Shahid's sisters and actors Bushra Ansari and Asma Abbas confirmed she was diagnosed with the deadly virus last month. The actor was put on ventilator on April 22.
On April 30, Ansari revealed that her mother has contracted the Covid-19 as well. In a video message later, she urged people follow coronavirus SOPs and refrain from going to shopping malls and markets.
"If you don't take precautionary measure you will regret it," she said. "What is the point in buying these clothes if you won't be healthy to wear them."
Sumbul was last seen in drama serial Nand, which aired on ARY. She starred with Sumbul in GT Road in 2019 as well.
