Distinguished playwright and a television icon Hasina Moin’s younger brother Saeed Ahmed Khan passed away on July 17 in Karachi. He was an engineer by profession.

A little more than two months back his health began to deteriorate and it was found out at a later stage that he was suffering from cancer. According to the doctor who treated him, the cancer spread at such a fast pace that it was difficult for him to recover from it.

May he rest in peace!
