Comedian Majid Jahangir passed away on Tuesday in Lahore. He had been under treatment at a hospital in the city.

Jahangir was best known for his work on Fifty-Fifty, alongside fellow comedian, the late Ismail Tara. Fifty-Fifty was loosely based on Saturday Night Live and featured sketches, satire and parodies.

He worked for the PTV for 22 years and acted in four films during his career.

His son Fahad Majid Jahangir told The Express Tribune that he will be laid to rest in Karachi.

In recognition of his achievements throughout his career, he was awarded Pride of Performance and Sitara-e-Imtiaz by the Government of Pakistan.

Condolences poured in on social media after news of his demise broke.

Really sad news. Majid and Tara duo was always eagerly awaited all week long and provided much entertainment and comedy in the 80’s. Long before internet or satellite TV channels appeared on the scene.

Unfortunately, his last few years were full of struggles thanks to the lack of support. Keeping the government aside, our media industry is also ruthless and insensitive. Pakistan is not a land to be a legend!

Such a marvelous comedian! I remember that when he visited Kuwait in 1985 (almost) with Sabiha Khanum, Moin Akhter for a show at Garnata cinema. There was huge applause at his entry . He was par excellence in Fifty Fifty the most popular PTV show. May his soul rest in peace! Amin

@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad , He passed away peacefully! There is nothing to suggest that it was gruesome, ghastly or gross. Please use appropriate language . You seem to use the same phrase for everyone who passes away.
