LAHORE: Renowned radio, TV and film actor Ghayyur Akhtar passed away on Friday in Lahore, Geo News reported.
According to sources, he suffered paralysis three years ago and was shifted to hospital last night after his condition deteriorated where the actor could not survive.
Ghayyur Akhtar started acting in the late 1970s and became famous during 1980s. His performances in drama serials such as ‘Khawaja and Sons’ and ‘Sona Chandi’ were highly appreciated.
Ghayyur was particularly famous for his acting abilities in comedy roles.
For his startling performance throughout his career, he also received Pride of Performance Award.
He palyed so many roles perfectly.. From an obedient daamd of Khwaja & Sons to Samri Jadugar in Ainak Wala Jin, he played all roles with perfections. He was equally popular in positive and negative roles. He could play zalim chohdri (like in Patt jhaR and Rahen) and comic roles (like in Sona Chandi and Fareb) with excellence. People forget him, as he couldn't get good projects after introduction of private channels. This is tragedy with many of our legends including Qavi Khan.
