LAHORE: The 5th death anniversary of Pakistani singer-turned-religious scholar Junaid Jamshed is being observed today (Tuesday) as the nation remembers the immensely popular celebrity.
Junaid Jamshed – 52 – died on December 7, 2016 along with his wife and 45 others in a horrible crash of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight PK-661 near Havelian.
Junaid Jamshed was born on September 3, 1964 in Karachi. His father Jamshed Akber Khan was a retired Group Captain in Pakistan Air Force. After graduating from local boarding high school in Lahore, Jamshed proceeded to join the PAF, initially focusing to become professional F-16 fighter pilot. But due to weak eye-sight during the tough physical examination, his nomination papers were rejected by the PAF selection board.
