Pakistani actress Meera’s younger sister Shaista Abbas passed away in London after battling cancer for a long time. Speaking to the media, Meera confirmed that Shaista had been battling cancer for several years and passed away in a London hospital.
The actress expressed regret that despite several appeals, including humanitarian requests, in view of her sister’s deteriorating health, the British High Commission did not issue her a visa.
Another sister of Meera and Shaista, Aqsa Abbas, who lives in Europe, told that Shaista had been undergoing treatment in the hospital for the past two months.
She said that even before that, for about a year, Shaista’s health had deteriorated and she was repeatedly admitted to the hospital and sent home when her health improved.
Shaista Abbas was the mother of a young daughter. After his death, Meera has decided to adopt her niece.
Shaista Abbas will be buried in London.
