Child star Ahmed Shah's adorable brother, Umer Shah, passed away, a grim update confirmed by the family.
"This is to inform the little shining star of our family, Umer Shah has returned to Allah Almighty. I request everyone to remember him and our family in your prayers," the family stated through Ahmed Shah Facebook account.
Waseem Badami also confirmed the death of Umer Shah and revealed that the cause of his passing was "Vomitus Aspiration" which led to breathing compromised and cardic arrest.
Actor Fahad Mustafa also expressed sorrow over the same. "Hmara Omer Chaha Gaya," he wrote with a broken heart.
ARY TV's CEO Jerjees Seeja also shared his grief over the sudden passing of Umer, sharing his photo with the late child star and wrote: " Still in shock, Ya Allah."
Since the news broke, fans and celebrities have flooded social media with messages of condolences, mourning the loss of the little boy who had become part of the nation’s collective affection through his on-screen appearances.
Umer was known to the Pakistani audience for his appearances alongside his elder brother in Ramazan transmissions and popular game shows, where the duo won hearts with their innocent charm.
The Shah family first captured public attention when Ahmad’s iconic Peechay Tou Dekho video went viral in 2018, instantly making him one of Pakistan’s most beloved child stars.
His rising popularity soon brought his siblings, including Umer, into the spotlight, turning them into familiar faces for the television audience.
The family described Umer’s death as their second heartbreaking tragedy, recalling the earlier passing of their young daughter Ayesha.
