She was a mother figure on and off-air, with her grace and strength making her popular among veterans and youngsters of the entertainment industry. Aside from seizing numerous television gigs, Jaffri also shared the stage with veteran actor Rahat Kazmi under the direction of Zia Moheyyedin back in 2012. After a video of Jaffri from a hospital bed went viral in April, social media was abuzz with the hashtag #payartistsroyalties. Now, because of the magnitude of her work, resilience and her contributions to television, Jaffri is being missed and mourned across Pakistan by public figures and fans. — Osman Khalid Butt (@aClockworkObi) July 17, 2021Rest in peace Nayla Jaffri.
