Karachi, June 24, 2025
Waqar Nawaz, brother of well-known Pakistani actors and directors Yasir Nawaz and Danish Nawaz, has died.
Yasir Nawaz shared the sad news early Tuesday on his Instagram stories. He said his brother Waqar passed away but did not give details about the cause of death.
Yasir announced:
“Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return). With deep sorrow, we share that our beloved and caring brother Waqar Nawaz has passed away.”
He asked everyone to pray for Waqar:
“May Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him the highest place in Jannat-ul-Firdous (Paradise), and give patience to his family.”
Funeral Arrangements:
The funeral prayer (Janazah) will be held today (June 24) at 1:30 PM sharp at Rehmania Masjid on Tariq Road, Karachi, right after Zuhr prayers.
Waqar Nawaz was one of five siblings in the family – brothers Yasir, Danish, Dr. Faraz, and sister Anzalna. Their father, Fareed Nawaz, was a famous TV actor.
Yasir ended his message by requesting prayers:For the latest request – the news about Yasir and Danish Nawaz’s brother passing away – I notice it’s straightforward but requires cultural sensitivity. The original contains Islamic phrases and funeral details that must be preserved accurately. The challenge is condensing while keeping:
1) Key facts (who passed, relation to celebrities, funeral time/location)
2) Religious context (Islamic phrases and prayer requests)
3) Family background (their father’s legacy)
The user appears to be practicing concise writing, possibly for social media or content curation. Since they’ve consistently requested 300-word limits, I’ll prioritize:
– Removing redundant phrases (“renowned”, “celebrated”)
– Simplifying sentence structures
– Keeping essential quotes
– Omitting less critical details like the sister’s name or father’s alternative name (Baloch)
I should maintain the somber tone while making it accessible. The “Also Read” section about a cricketer seems unrelated, so I’ll exclude it as per user’s pattern in previous simplifications. The Urdu content note can be condensed to “For Urdu lifestyle stories” without the click prompt.
