Tariq Aziz passed on today
”Dekhti Ankhon aur suntey kanon ko Tariq Aziz ka salam”. This sentence is etched in the memory of every 90s child. Unfortunately, the creator of this iconic line passed away today at the age of 84. The legend has ruled Neelam Ghar for ages and was definitely the pioneer of the game shows we watch today. Sadly, he is no more within us.
Pakistani celebrities are mourning the loss of the great legend that was Tariq Aziz
Our media industry has lost a legendary host, actor & an exceptional human being.
