The sudden loss of a loved one is a profoundly distressing event that shakes the very foundation of our existence.

Fahima Awan Talks About Her Husband’s Kidnapping
During the interview the shaken Fahima spoke about the time when her husband has been kidnapped in the year 2012. Awan spoke about how she had to negotiate with the kidnappers to ensure her husbands’ safe return which he fortunately did at the time. She spoke about how that ordeal changed her into becoming a much more confident and stronger person. It was after his safe return that she believed she should return to showbiz and she re-joined after a long hiatus.
Sadly, her spouse eventually developed Rheumatoid Arthritis, and the lingering effects of the kidnapping trauma led him to have two heart attacks. The combination of these distressing events, along with depression, gave rise to multiple health complications at a remarkably young age.
The actress spoke about her husband’s death incident. “He got dizzy and leaned for support on a wall, a very heavy piece of it fell off which weighed about 40 to 50 kgs. The tile fell on Faisal’s stomach and hurt his intestines.”
She added that he believed it was a simple stomach ache and did not go to the hospital for any treatment, days later she received a call while she was in Makkah, performing her Umrah pilgrimage.
“I felt like my world had shattered and that my soul had left my body.” Awan said.
