Veteran actor Asim Bukhari has died at the age of 76 after facing health complications. The senior performer passed away on Wednesday, March 11, after remaining under treatment for several days.

Reports have said that the actor had been dealing with kidney and heart-related health issues. He had been admitted to hospital for around two weeks before his condition worsened.

The actor had also been hospitalised in 2025 after suffering a heart attack, which had affected his health.

Bukhari remained associated with Pakistan’s entertainment industry for many years and appeared in television dramas, stage productions and films. Alongside his acting career, he also worked with emerging performers and spent time teaching acting to new artists.

He received recognition from television audiences for his role in the drama Sona Chandi, which remains among the projects linked with his career.

In 2014, Bukhari was awarded the Pride of Performance for his contribution to the country’s entertainment sector.

Bukhari is survived by his family, including his son Ajlal Bukhari, who is currently undergoing treatment for gallstones at a hospital in London.
