Pakistani dramatist-scriptwriter Haseena Moin breathed her last on Friday. She was 79 years old. Battling cancer for the past few years, her funeral will be held at her residence in North Nazimabad after Asr prayers.
Being one of the most celebrated scriptwriters of Pakistan, Moin has several accolades under her belt. Further, she holds the distinction of penning Pakistan’s first original script, Kiran Kahani, in the early 1970s.
Celebrities were quick to step forwards as they were saddened to lose the legend.
Sharing a throwback photo of Moin, superstar Humayun Saeed wrote, “Haseena apa’s invaluable contribution to our drama industry helped pave the way for many. Not only was she a great writer but a woman of great strength who continued to mentor us till her last breath. May she rest.”

We can’t thank enough you for taking Pakistani Drama to this height, for portraying the strength of women through your masterpieces, for stashing our memory with “ankahi” feelings of love and emotions.
