@madhusudan , she is one of the great actresses from late 70s and early 80s and even before her son's death, had abandoned her career due to mental health issues and was institutionalized many times.

Somebody must be eyeing her property on which she lives because she has no one who can inherit it otherwise why attack such a harmless person who is a recluse.

Now Lahore is going on same path like Karachi. Everyday now the news of murder, dacioty and snatching coming from Lahore. It looks that this is also a insecure place like other city of Pakistan

One of the iconic artist with unmatched acting skills. Find the motive and there should be no problem catching the scum bag who assaulted her.
The Chief Minister should take immediate notice of the incident and prod the police to earnestly trace the culprit.

Most pathetic!
She is a mentally compromised helpless lady in need of loving care. With no children, she must get best available care for elderly. There are several care-houses and one must come forward with appropriate care and security for her.

Roohi Bano lives alone, the government should provide her security and also medical treatment. Pakistan is the only country who never value its artists.

glory in defeat ... feel pity for her entire career and life, she did not compromise on her way of life ... she is a STAR alone. no one comes near to her credentials and caliber.
yet she is fighting despite losing her son... may God give her more comfort. thanks Roohi for letting us know how acting should be taken up.

Women can no longer hide. They must step up and fight terrorism and religious intolerance with more than just words. Middle class women must be at the service of their nation as millions of American and British women were at the service of their nations in WWII.
This was a copy cat crime and expect many more to come.
