Senior lifestyle reporter and Geo Entertainment Editor Nadia Faisal passed away after a long battle with cancer.
Nadia was popularly known as Neini amongst friends and had been an important part of the entertainment industry for years.
Faisal was associated with the industry for 20, and with Geo for 13 years as she overlooked the television channel’s entertainment coverage as head of the Entertainment Desk, and covered music, film, art, theatre, and fashion in her news reports.
Renowned film and music producer Faisal Rafi confirmed the death reports of his beloved wife. He took to social media to break the news. His tweet reads:
Dear friends and colleagues, my wife Nadia Faisal who most of you knew as Nieni passed away today after a long struggle with cancer, will share funeral details soon, please remember her in your thoughts and prayers.
Her funeral will be carried out during Zuhr at Mubarak Masjid, Seaview today.
Shocked to hear about death of a wonderful colleague and one of the senior most entertainment journalists, Nadia Faisal (Neini). She was the editor of the entertainment desk at Geo.
