Naila Jaffery about her Illness:
She was vocal about her illness and in her last few months before moving on to her heavenly abode; she was admitted to the hospital where she recorded a video message for the entertainment industry and the Government of Pakistan. In the video, she requested the government to support senior actors and those who have worked in the entertainment industry for the country. She lamented that dramas are re-run on air, however; actors do not receive any royalties and added that in the early day’s actors used to receive royalties, however, that culture does not exist anymore. After her video message, many actors such as Mikaal Zulfiqar, Mansha Pasha, and Ushna Shah shared her video in support.
