In February last year, Omar Sharif's only daughter, Hira Omar, who had been suffering from kidney disease for a long time, met her real creator. Like every father, Omar Sharif loved his daughter dearly. Truth be told, he had stopped living for the past year. After the death of his daughter, Omar Sharif kept telling people that he did not like the world anymore.
When the news of Omar Sharif's demise was heard, the memories of his childhood began to come to the fore. This nostalgia is also very strange. Man does not leave the chase until the man himself leaves. As soon as Omar Sharif's name comes to mind, many things come to mind which may exist today but they do not look like this, including tape recorders, cassettes, walkmen, comedy audio dramas and the genuine type that emanates from them. There were laughter that is disappearing today. People who spent their childhood listening to audio cassettes of Omar Sharif's plays know how annoyed they were when they got stuck in his reel tape while listening to cassettes of Omar Sharif's plays. Many times the cassette would stop when the joke was on its job, then immediately open the lid of the cassette player from the tape recorder and take the cassette out, then it would look badly sticky and tangled with the gills of the real recorder.
If it was pulled out like a kite string, a train several feet long would come in handy. Then I had to put the pan in the hole of the cassette, on which the cassette was played, and rotate it for a long time so that the reel could go back to the cassette. As soon as it came to its original state, everyone would shout for joy and put the cassette back in and carefully press the rewind button so that the part that was left unheard could be heard again. Today, we leave any video anywhere on our mobile, so even after a few days, if we open that video, it gets played again from there. Today there are hundreds of comedy videos on mobile and TV, thousands of 30-second comedy clips are uploaded on Tik Tak from above, but it is true that with such advanced technology, facilities and the millions that come daily Humorous videos can't even compete with Omar Sharif's play "On Goat Installments" which has been the theme of the concert for decades.
Omar Sharif died in Germany on Saturday after a long illness. He was 66 years old. The family and some doctors thought he could be treated in the United States. An appeal was also made to the government in this regard and finally Rs. 40 million and other permits were issued for his treatment. The government took timely action, otherwise it would have been a pity that they were not taken seriously. A few days ago, Omar Sharif was being transferred from Pakistan to the United States for treatment. Due to the long journey and fatigue, his health deteriorated on the way and he had to stop and be admitted to a hospital in Germany. However, his condition worsened and he could not recover.
Born in Liaquatabad area of Karachi, Omar Sharif started his career in 1974 at the age of 14. He was not only a shining star in the showbiz industry, but also a member of every household where comedy was seen and liked. He was called the king of laughter. When his name was mentioned for coming on stage, the lips of the audience would start tickling even before he came. He was sure that Omar Sharif would take away his grief once again today through his jokes. His acting would have caused a storm of unintentional laughter. He was a TV, film actor, director, composer, poet and writer and also a kind hearted man. Omar Sharif was one of the famous artists who made Pakistan famous not only at home but also all over the world including India. He was also named the King of Comedians of South Asia. Few people know that Omar Sharif was the first Pakistani actor to release a comedy drama on audio cassette for the first time in 1980. Omar Sharif's performance with well-known actor Moin Akhtar took four months. He also started a film in India as a writer and director in which Rajesh Khanna was cast but the film was stopped after a few days of filming. In Pakistan, he has hosted several TV shows.
Omar Sharif was only five years old when his father died. He was very interested in acting and drama since childhood. Once he saw the film of Egyptian-born Hollywood film actor Omar Sharif and was very impressed by it, after which he changed his name from Muhammad Omar to Omar Sharif. The song "Mani Bad Naam Hoi" from the Indian film Dabangg was a replica of a song from one of his unpublished films. Omar Sharif formed the Omar Sharif Welfare Trust in 2006, under which in 2016 he also built a hospital in Orangi Town Karachi called "Mother" which is still serving the suffering humanity.
Since Omar Sharif himself had emerged from extreme poverty, he was aware of the plight of fellow actors in the world of TV and film. That is why he made special arrangements for the treatment of poor artists in this hospital so that they do not have to wander. He always tried to improve the society through his work. Well known Indian comedians Kapil Sharma and Govinda Ali Ali Adnan say that we used to copy Omar Sharif. Sometimes Omar Sharif would say something very calmly and the other would start laughing instead of getting angry. Many years ago, Bollywood stars were present at an event in Dubai. Omar Sharif came on stage and addressing Amitabh Bachchan said, "Today is the first time I have seen Amitabh Bachchan alive." Hearing this, the Senate was overwhelmed for a moment and then the whole hall resounded with laughter and tears came to Amitabh Bachchan's eyes as he laughed. Our present Prime Minister Imran Khan was also present at the table with Amitabh Bachchan.
Omar Sharif has been gaining fame and achievements all his life through his humor and his personality but then an accident happened in his life which became a disease for him. In February last year, Omar Sharif's only daughter, Hira Omar, who had been suffering from kidney disease for a long time, met her real creator. Like every father, Omar Sharif loved his daughter dearly. Truth be told, he had stopped living for the past year. After the death of his daughter, Omar Sharif kept telling people that he did not like the world anymore. Perhaps he had given up all hope of life after his daughter's death. Medical science says that when you give up hope, the days of life are numbered and you fall into the arms of death very fast.
I pray that God does not show anyone the grief of the illness of children and parents and their sudden separation, that this grief is no less than a resurrection in itself and that only those who go through this resurrection, this suffering can realize it. Those who live every moment, die every moment.
