Anwar Maqsood, in a Q&A session hosted by his son Bilal Maqsood, got emotional while discussing the late Moin Akhtar. The renowned writer remarked that the two were inseparable, adding that people like him tend to live in the hearts forever.
“Moin is like a vine wrapped around my heart,” said Maqsood when asked if he misses Moin. “32 years I wrote for Moin.”
He went onto say, “Big people [like him] they might leave [our] sight but are here… Moin is here. He’s in every house, he’s in every heart.”
“Often times when I’m writing something like Loose Talk, I write my name and instinctively start writing Moin’s,” he sighed.
In the Q&A session, Bilal asked his father ten questions sent in to him by his fans.
Apart from his thoughts on Moin, Maqsood was also asked what advice he would give to young people to which the writer said, “Don’t chase money but goals.”
He also didn’t leave a chance to criticise morning shows, which he has often spoken up against. When asked when Pakistan as a nation will ‘wake up’, Maqsood replied: “When all these morning shows will end, the nation will wake up from its sleep.”
