Veteran actor Qazi Wajid passed away on Sunday, DawnNews reported.

According to DawnNews the 87-year-old actor was admitted to the hospital late last night.

Speaking to DawnNews soon after the news of Wajid's death broke, Javed Sheikh said: "I just heard the news and I can barely believe it at the moment. This is a great loss for the industry as well as humanity."

"There are so many memories associated with Qazi bhai, but the one thing I always admired about him was his dedication with the profession. When he was on set for a recording, the only thing in front of him was his script and he would not participate in any other banter during that time," Sheikh said.

Wajid was one of one of the pioneers of Pakistan's radio industry. After remaining associated with the industry for 25 years, Wajid decided to switch careers and joined television.

The veteran actor was also honoured with a Pride of Performance Award in 1988 by the Government of Pakistan.

Wajid was part of a number of Pakistan Television (PTV) classics, including Dhoop Kinaray, Khuda Ki Basti and Tanhaiyan

Used to watch him in dramas quite a bit, those were much simpler times. He played the role of angry father quite well.

RIP. He was one of the very first actors on PTV, so his career spanned half a century.

The World really feels like a small village. I met him last week in Madina Shareef, in a restaurant next to the Prophet’s (pbuh) Mosque. He looked quite happy and in good shape.
