Pakistan`s celebrated comedian Umer Sharif passed away on Saturday in Germany where he was admitted to a hospital after his condition deteriorated while being flown to the US on an air ambulance to undergo a life-saving heart procedure. He was 66. The veteran comedian, actor, producer and television personality had been battling for his life and was critically ill since last year.
Earlier this month, his family sought help from Prime Minister Imran Khan`s Office to arrange a health visit to the US. His departure through the air ambulance was delayed by a day or two as doctors at the private hospital where he was admitted in Karachi were reluctant to give him a clearance to undertake such a long journey.
