WASEEM
SIR.
He
held

and
took
me
to
the
skies.
He
had
given
me
so
much
love
and
affection
that
it
really
hard
to
believe
and
gulp
that
he
is
no
more
among
us.
Waseem
sir
you
will
be
always
missed
by
me

all

I
can't
stop
crying
by
thinking
whom

I
wish
'good

Please

I

Raqesh
and
Ridhi
who
were
close
to
Waseem
were
also
shattered
with
the
shocking
news.
Waseem
Sabir
was
a
part
of
the
popular
shows
like
Iss
Pyaar
Ko
Kya
Naam
Doon...Ek
Baar
Phir,
Gangaa,
Tamanna
and
Ek
Veer
Ki
Ardaas...Veera.
Last
year
(2016),
Waseem
had
hurt
himself
on
the
sets
of
Tamanna
while
overseeing
the
rehearsals.
A
source
was
quoted
by
a
leading
daily
as
saying,
"During
the
rehearsals,
the
leading
lady,
Anuja
was
teaching
her
neighbour's
children
to
play
cricket
in
the
sequence."
The
source
further
added,
"Our
director
was
busy
analysing
the
shot
when
Anuja
swung
the
bat
missing
the
ball
completely.
It
accidentally
landed
on
Waseem
sir's
elbow,
and
injured
it
badly.
He
had
to
be
rushed
to
a
doctor
instantly."
Waseem's
death
is
indeed
a
big
loss
for
television
industry.
May
his
soul
rest
in
peace.
