Her funeral prayer will be offered on Saturday at Sultan Masjid in Defence Phase 4 area of Karachi after Asr prayer, according to son.

Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tessori and people from different walks of life expressed condolences and sympathies to the bereaved family.

Salma Murad was a private person and rarely gave interviews.
