In an Instagram post on Monday morning, child star Ahmad Shah shared the heartbreaking news of his younger brother’s passing at a young age.
With pictures of his late brother, he penned, “This is to inform the little shining star of our family, Umer Shah, has returned to Allah Almighty. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.”
