Singer Mustafa Zahid has urged fans to quit smoking and never let their parents smoke following the death of his father.
Taking to Twitter, the 34-year-old music composer shared that his father passed away a month ago due to excessive smoking.
He urged fans to stop their smoking parents even if they have to fight with them.
“It’s been a month I’ve lost my father. The doctor’s voice still echos in my ears, “His lungs have been compromised because of excessive smoking” If you have a smoking parent go to them right now, fight with them, argue with them, do whatever it takes but never ever let them smoke,” he tweeted.
