Actor Wasim was buried at Banani Cemetery at 3 pm on Sunday after the first janaza at Azad Mosque in Gulshan and the second janaza at Banani Mosque. Actor Wasim died at 12:40 pm due to various physical problems due to old age. He was 71 years old at the time of his death. Wasim, the prince of Dhaliwood, was devastated after his daughter's suicide in 2006. He was living a life of exhaustion and loneliness. Despite getting so much love from people, he kept himself hidden. He started suffering from eye pain last January. Wasim was admitted to the hospital at that time. His illness continued to worsen, at one point he almost lost his sight. Besides, he was suffering from various problems including kidney, lung, diabetes, high blood pressure. Some of the side effects of eye medications, including sugar, were going out of control.

Wasim's son Barrister Dewan Fardun told our reporter, 'After the treatment, the father could not see well with his right eye. If this complex problem had not been treated, my father would have become restless in pain. If he was treated again, he would get sick with side effects. In this condition, the doctors said, if he is not treated, he will go blind. Later he started taking medicine. 'He added, "My father's condition has been deteriorating since last February. Last night he suddenly started shivering and vomiting. The fragile body could not speak. Immediately I contacted the hospital. I couldn't find an ICU anywhere, after a lot of struggle I got an ICU, where my father was still vomiting. Then suddenly he lost consciousness. Before he was taken to the ICU, the doctors informed him that my father was no more." Fardun said that his mother died in 2000. The only sister committed suicide in 2006. From then on, his father broke up. He was the one who took care of his father and gave him time. Wasim used to spend his time doing religious activities and studying. He would not go out of the house. Fardun said, "My father wanted him to be buried next to his family members. He was buried in Banani cemetery to fulfill his wish."

Although Wasim was born in Sutrapur, Old Dhaka, his ancestral home was Chandpur. While studying at Ananda Mohan College, he became associated with stage drama. After graduating from the history department of Dhaka University, he started working in the film industry. Handsome Wasim easily catches the eye of filmmakers and producers. Quickly he became a regular in the movies. He has acted in more than one and a half hundred movies in his nearly two-decade career. Most of his movies were commercially successful. Wasim withdrew from acting at one point due to grief.  Wasim loved sports. He was the first general secretary of the National Sports Council. He has served as President of the Bodybuilding Federation. In his last years, he did not have much contact with the people of the film. Fardun said, 'My father was sick. I did not inform my father about Kobori aunt's death. Maybe he would have suffered more if he had heard the news. '
