Asma Nabeel, who wrote TV serials such as Baandi and Khuda Mera Bhi Hai, recently passed away in Karachi. As the news broke out, many people took to social media to mourn the loss and remember her.
Celebrities in particular have posted about the impact Nabeel and her writing had on those who had the opportunity to work with her.
Actor Adnan Siddiqui called Nabeel a "warrior" whose dramas were exceptionally well written.
Asma was such a fighter, a survivor, but at the end of the day its Allah Ta'ala's will that prevails. May He grant her maghfirat & give her a beautiful place in jannat ul firdaus and give strength and solace to her bereaved family. Aameen
Celebrity stylist and costume designer Rao Ali Khan recalled that Nabeel was the first one to believe in his talent and support his career. "I owe her big time," he said.
Designer Ali Xeeshan also took to Twitter to mourn the loss. Nabeel had recently starred in his campaign to highlight the prevalence of breast cancer in Pakistan. The screenwriter was a vocal breast cancer advocate after her own fight and recovery from the disease.
Actor Bilal Abbas Khan said that Nabeel was one of the strongest women he had the honour of meeting. "Her conviction and passion when I met her showed that she is indeed a real fighter," he said.
