Veteran actor and senior artist Suhail Asghar passed away on Saturday, November 13 after a prolonged bout of illness.

The actor's passing away has been confirmed by his family. Asghar's wife said he had been ill for the past year and a half. He underwent gastric surgery after which his health declined. His funeral prayers will be held on Sunday in Karachi's Bahria Town, she told new channels.

Carried himself with dignity, humbleness and class. Unlike today's actor's.
