Actor, talk show host and YouTuber, Tabassum who passed away on Friday night was mentored and encouraged by noted radio personality Ameen Sayani. Tabassum had started out with a show of jokes on Radio Ceylon, 'Tabassum Kay Lateefay' before the iconic 'Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan.'


Sharing memories of the late actress Sayani told mid-day.com, "Tabassum was the fantastic star of radio, TV, films and stage and her mother Asghari Begum, was a doyenne of Urdu literature. This wonderful family came into my world of influences when Tabassum was just a plump little kid and I started calling her my 'Chhoti Moti Bahen.' Her mother started presenting me copies of some of the magnificent books and magazines that she had been writing and/or editing. Many years later, when Tabassum grew up, she also became a fantastic teller of jokes and  I produced a series of highly humorous programmes featuring her jokes – called 'Tabassum Kay Lateefay.'
