Star of PTV's golden era Ayesha Khan was discovered dead in a Karachi apartment at the age of 76 last week, but what shocked the public most was the silence and isolation the actress lived in during her final days.

 

Her last rites were performed quietly, with neither the media informed about the time and place, nor any celebrity in attendance. 

 

In fact, nobody knows exactly when the star slipped away from the world, with her body being discovered only after the smell of decomposition emanating from her apartment prompted her neighbours to complain. 

 

The police then shifted her body to Edhi morgue.

 

YouTuber Farah Iqrar released a video in which she shared emotional details about the burial of the iconic actress. Showing a picture of her unmarked grave, she said, "Goodbye Ayesha Khan, goodbye."

 

She explained that Ayesha Khan was buried near her father's grave in Sakhi Hassan graveyard, and that the burial rites were carried out in complete silence.

 

According to Farah Iqrar, Ayesha Khan’s sons refused to authorise an autopsy, telling police that, “It was a natural death, and only the final rites should be performed.”

 

After that, the body was taken from the Edhi morgue to Sakhi Hassan, where the funeral prayers were quietly offered in the graveyard mosque and the burial took place shortly after.

 

Farah added, “The media could get very little information about the funeral. Only a few media representatives came to know about it.”

 

She also revealed, “No showbiz personality attended Ayesha Khan’s funeral because no one was informed. Everything was done very quietly and privately.”

 

Sharing more about the actress’s final days, Farah said, “Ayesha Khan was a well-mannered and sociable woman, but towards the end of her life, she became isolated. She had a fractured foot and was deeply depressed.”
