Ah Moin Akhtar, the greatest actor of the subcontinent is no more...Different people may have different views but for me he was the best actor in the sub-continent beating all else hollow. You give him any role he will excel in it. He studied the characters so well and then will live the role. I only wish more people follow his commitment to excellence. I can only say Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Rajioon. Not only Pakistan but the world has lost one of the greatest entertainer of all time. But he went too early. So sad.
Remember what great dramas he has given us which will continue to entertain for generations to come.
