Mashhoor abhinetri Nimmi ji ke nidhan ki baat sunke mujhe bahut dukh hua. Humne saath mein bahut kaam kiya. Maine unke liye pehli baar Raj Kapoor ji ki film “Barsat” mein 1949 mein gaya. Wo ek bahut acche swabhav ki mahila thi. Main unko vinamra shraddhanjali arpan karti hun.

#Nimmi ji spent good time with my mother #NaseemBanu and through my mother and my husband, I built a bond with her. Such stalwarts are rare. Nimmi ji will be missed. May Allah bless her with Jannat. I have tears in my eyes as I am dictating this to @faisalmouthshut
