“Every eye will be teary[…..] people will mourn for 10-15-20 years,” said Saleem Afridi.

Apart from being a great teacher for comedy students, Umer was also a good family man. He always took care of his mother and sisters, always abiding by the commands of his mother. “Umer Sharif gave atleast 1 kilogram of gold to his mother, he gave dowry to his sisters a second time,” Saleem Afridi revealed.

Rauf Lala, another famous name of comedy has worked a lot with Umer Sharif. Rauf expressed “I have spent half of my life with Umer Sharif. He was like a teacher and father figure for me […..] he was so good in nature and helped a lot of the comedians.”

People say that whenever comedy will be discussed, Umer Sharif’s name will always be mentioned.

The Funeral prayers of legendary comedian and artist Umer Sharif will be offered on Monday (today), in Nuremberg, Germany. However, Umer Sharif’s dead body will be brought to Pakistan and the actor’s widow Zareen Ghazal will arrive in Karachi with the body.

The Sindh government has granted the family of legendary comedian Umer Sharif permission to bury him at the Abdullah Shah Ghazi cemetery, fulfilling the comedian’s lifelong wish.
