Veteran actor Safirullah Lehri dies after prolonged illness


KARACHI: Ace film actor and comedian Safirullah Lehri passed away after a prolonged illness on Thursday, DawnNews reported.Lehri, who had won the Nigar Award for around a dozen films, had been suffering from ill health for about 25 years.The wheel-chair-ridden elderly artist suffered from diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems. He was told by doctors that three of his valves had been closed, while one of his feet had been amputated due to gangrene.


Lehri’s first film was 1956’s Anokhi, while his last production was 1986’s Dhanak.

The vast majority of his films had been in Urdu, though he did perform in a few Punjabi productions.

Also, even though he tried his hand at a few serious roles, it was Lehri’s comic roles that brought him the highest acclaim.

Central to his success had been his deadpan delivery, which would elicit peels of laughter from the audience, without the comedian having to resort to crude or sleazy humour.
