Veteran film actor, talk show host and YouTuber, Tabassum died on Friday night after suffering a cardiac arrest. She hosted the popular Doordarshan talk show `Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan.` Veteran actress Sharmila Tagore paid tribute to her colleague in a conversation with mid-day.com.
Sharmila said, “Even though I hadn`t worked with her in films, she had interviewed me for her show a few times. I remember her as always being happy, cheerful and well dressed. She knew how to hold an audience. Those days a lot of emphasis was paid on how one speaks and her command on Urdu was commendable. I`m sad to know of her passing and my condolences to the family. At the same time I`m glad she was active till her last days and did not suffer from major health issues. All of us wish that when the time comes it`s a quick passing and not one where the suffering is endless.”
