January 11, 2023 11:04 PM


The body of famous comedian Majid Jahangir has been shifted through a PIA flight from Lahore to Karachi, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

His body was received from the cargo terminal by his son Fahad and left for home, where the famous comedian’s funeral procession will be taken out. Reportedly, he will be buried in the famous Mewa Shah Graveyard.  He died after a prolonged illness in Lahore on Wednesday morning.    

Majid Jahangir, who rose to fame for his work in the comedy series Fifty-Fifty, was suffering from a respiratory illness that worsened recently.

The actor, who lost partial function of his body to paralysis almost five years ago, was moved to a private hospital in Lahore.

Jahangir was honoured with the Pride of Performance Award — the highest accolade in Pakistan — for his memorable performance in Fifty Fifty. He worked for Pakistan Television Network (PTV) for 22 years and starred in four films.
