Pakistani actress Durefishan Saleem, deeply shocked by the death of Humaira Asghar, has spoken about a new fear that has taken over her heart.
Durefishan is considered one of the top actresses in Pakistan, and she earned this position in a very short time.
Her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes are loved by fans, whether it’s on Instagram reels or fashion ramps. She is always seen smiling.
Now, the actress who rules over millions of hearts has shared a personal fear that has been keeping her awake at night. The reason behind this fear is the heartbreaking and shocking death of Humaira Asghar.
On 8th July, Humaira Asghar’s unrecognizable dead body was found in an apartment in DHA Phase 6, Karachi. Her postmortem report revealed that she had died not a week or two ago, but 10 months earlier.
After hearing this news, many people started asking the same questions – how was she missing for 10 months and no one noticed? No one went to look for her. Neither the showbiz industry nor even her own family seemed to care. She spent all those months in that one room through cold, heat, and rain – already dead.
This tragic story shocked everyone. Durefishan Saleem shared a note on Instagram, clearly admitting that this incident has left her deeply scared.
The actress shared a photo of herself where she is looking at the camera with a soft smile on her face.
With the picture, she wrote a heartfelt caption in the form of a poem. Here’s the English translation of the poem she shared:
These days, I have been thinking a lot about life…
Not about big dreams or big success,
But about the small, quiet moments
That make us feel truly alive.
We spend so much time waiting…
For big chances, the perfect moment, or something special.
But life doesn’t wait for anyone.
Life is not in the “when,”
It is in the “now.”
It is in the noise, the silence, the laughter between tears.
And death, as heavy a word as it is,
Never comes with a warning.
It can come while you’re sleeping,
While eating your favorite food,
While hugging someone you love,
Or just on a normal day—
When you’re playing a game you planned to finish.
And my deepest prayer is:
Whenever that moment comes—
For me or for anyone—
Let it not come in silence,
Not in loneliness,
Not in an empty room…
Let it come in a space full of love,
In the presence of people who truly know you—
Who laughed, cried, and grew with you.
People who made life feel like home.
And in the time between living and leaving,
May I always remember how important it is
To take care of my mind so it stays healthy,
To slow down enough to feel someone else’s pain,
To choose kindness in a world that rewards detachment.
Because we live in a time
Where people speak their opinions loudly
But forget to listen with their hearts.
Where empathy is rare,
And people are so lost
That they forget to ask—
Are you okay?
So end this silence,
Choose kindness, even in quiet,
Make space for yourself and others.
Ask people how they’re doing.
Look beyond filters and social media feeds.
Begin a life
That is not based on success,
Not for showing off,
But one that feels real,
In the quiet and hidden moments,
Not full of wants, but full of peace—
Not for the world, but for the soul.
People on social media read Durefishan’s caption with deep emotions. Many shared supportive and kind comments, and sent her prayers and love.
