The king of comedy, Umer Sharif has been facing illness for a while now. He also requested Prime Minister Imran Khan to help him go abroad for treatment. His doctors revealed that the veteran comedian needs medical treatment that can only be availed in a few countries including USA and Saudi Arabia. Since then, prayers are pouring in from across the border.
Fans sent prayers as the video clip, shared by Waseem, asking the government for assistance went viral. Aside from fans even celebrities from across the border are praying for the Pakistani icon. They have also requested the government to pay heed to Umer’s request.
The King of Punjabi Pop and Bhangra, Daler Mehndi asked his followers to pray for the Bakra Qiston Pe actor. In a video message, the composer / singer asked the Pakistani PM to immediately address the matter and help save Umer Sharif.
Indian comedian and Bollywood star Johnny Lever also sent his prayers for the Dulhan Main Lekar Jaonga actor’s speedy recovery. The Dulhe Raja actor also posted a video paying tribute to the legendary Umer Sharif.
“Our beloved star Umar Sharif is unwell these days. I am so sad to hear this. Umer bhai May God bless you with good health.” He said.
Umer Sharif is considered as one of the most popular comedians in the sub-continent. Other comedians like Johnny Lever and Raju Srivastav hailed him as ‘The God Of Asian Comedy‘.
How did the Government Respond?
We expect our PM to respond to such requests as he did in the past. He did! After the video of the Umer Sharif seeking government assistance went viral, PM Imran Khan took a notice. Special Advisor to the Prime Minister (SAPM), Dr. Shhabaz Gill announced that the PM office is in touch with the Half Plate actor on the directives of Imran Khan.
