Nabeel Baral, son of the late stage legend Babu Baral, has released an emotional video message pleading for help from the public and authorities, highlighting his struggles as a disabled person with no source of income or shelter.

 

The video message,  recorded on June 28, shows Nabeel saying he has no house of his own and cannot afford rent. "I am making this video because I am in great need of help. I don’t have my own house and I can’t even afford rent. I swear to Allah, I am the only breadwinner for my family but my condition is such that I cannot manage anymore," he said.

 

 

 

Showing his broken prosthetic leg, he explained, “You can see for yourself, even this prosthetic I had is now broken. Let me show you the condition of my leg. Please tell me, people say ‘go and work’, does anyone think I enjoy asking for help? Tell me, with this leg, how can I work? I can’t even stand properly.”

 

Nabeel urged people to share his video so his voice reaches the authorities. “My voice should reach the people. Please help me and follow me too, so that I can become an influencer. I hope to generate some income from here because my situation is getting worse, both financially and physically.”

 

He continued saying, “What should I do? I swear to Allah I am alone. I have no one else to earn for my family. I am the only man. Please take this seriously. Reach out to the government, I should get a house, that’s all I ask. Please, I can’t do any work, my condition is not good. Whatever savings I had are gone, there is very little left. It’s becoming very difficult to survive. Please help me.”

 

In the end, he made a humble request, “Thank you and please don’t mock me. It’s very rude. Please look at my condition and then if you still call me a scammer or make fun of me, then please fear Allah. Thank you.”

 

Nabeel’s father, Babu Baral, was one of Pakistan’s most beloved theatre comedians. He began his career in 1982 as a stage performer in Gujranwala and quickly rose to fame for his remarkable mimicry and improvisational comedy. He became a prominent figure in Lahore’s theatre scene, performing in over a thousand plays including hits like Shartiya Mithay, Bhukay Haatha Bataira, and Kuch Na Kaho. 

 

Babu Baral was also known for his writing and direction, and his contributions to Pakistani theatre earned him the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz and Sitara-e-Imtiaz. He passed away in Lahore in 2011 at the age of 47 after battling cancer, hepatitis, and kidney disease.
