It was indeed very shocking to learn shafi Mohammed is no more with us . I remember one of his hit dramaz Chand grahan he appeared so nice , roadz seemed deserted while his play was on air . One day I was watching Mr Amir Liaquats Aaya hai bulawa mujhay at that time some one told me abt Shaf iMohammed I couldnt control my tearz . He was so humble, so gentle, he had such an impressive voice . May Allah Almighty place him in jannat Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen ,And give the courage to his family to bear this LOSS
