I just read on Faysal Qureshi’s twit that legendary actor Rizwan Wasti passed away over the weekend. is it true??
I am shocked that there is NO news updates about this tragedy. the whole media is crying over veena malik… but no news of this great loss!!!
Inna lillahi wa inna illaihi raji’un
May Allah Bless His soul rest in peace!!! Ameen!

ya I know... but Faisal Qureshi is associated with the whole industry... his news is always correct
true... Rizwan wasti was one of the most decent and knowledgeable actors we had. it is still highly disappointing to see our so called patriotic media not flashing this news. not even news papers. :(:(

Re: Rizwan Wasti Sahib..... passed away?? :O
He had a beautiful, booming voice and his Urdu and English diction was very elegant.
Sorry to hear about his demise. This is a talented family. Also sorry to hear about his daughter's ( Laila Waasti ) illness.
Re: Rizwan Wasti Sahib..... passed away?? :O
Any picture that can be put to his name? Was he related to Laila and MAria Wasti?
Re: Rizwan Wasti Sahib… passed away??
Laila Waasti is Rizwaan and Tahira’s daughter. Maria Waasti is Laila’s khaala ki beti.

khalil he never played any main roles. he was more of a side actor. i'll see if i can find any clip of his acting.
Re: Rizwan Wasti Sahib… passed away??
and the khala is najma wasti (maria’s mother) who appeared in dramas like ashiyana as that rich mother (qavi’s wife-seemi zaidi’s mom)
