Renowned playwright Asma Nabeel passes away in Karachi

Writer, poet, and producer Asma Nabeel has just lost her battle with cancer late on Thursday.

The playwright had been diagnosed with cancer in 2013 and she was fighting fearlessly ever since. The Damsa writer took to Instagram a few months ago to post a Quranic verse with the hashtags #cancerjourney and #chapter02, and wrote, “Only prayers can heal.”

Her friends had also extended prayers for her swift recovery.

Last night, as soon as the news of the demise of Surkh Chandni, and Khuda Mera Bhi Hai writer emerged, her co-workers and friends in the fraternity took to social media to pay their heartfelt condolences.
