Celebrities mourn, share fond memories of Zara Abid

Pakistani supermodel Zara Abid was on board the ill-fated Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) aircraft that crashed near Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport on Friday.

The PIA flight was traveling from Lahore to Karachi. There were a total of 99 people on board. Only two passengers survived the incident.

Right after the news of the crash was reported many people on social media claimed that model Zara Abid had been on the flight. 

According to PR mogul Frieha Altaf, Zara had recently gone to Lahore for her uncle’s funeral.

Zara Abid was doing the show for @SanaSafinaz and @catwalk_cares. Her uncle passed away & she left for Lahore. Im just sick to my stomach. This is so close to home. Huge tragedy for the Fashion industry. So many lives lost! Prayers #zaraabid#PIA_Plane_Crashed pic.twitter.com/O2Zjr72WN5

While many celebrities claimed that she had survived and was in the recovery, her name was not found on the survivors’ list.

Her body was identified at Karachi’s Jinnah Postgraduate Medical College hospital Sunday evening.

The entertainment fraternity is praying for Abid and tributes are being paid on social media to the “wonderful and hardworking” star.

– #PK8303 Jummah tul Wida, Friday, 22.5.2020. A day that will be forever etched in my memory as one of the most saddening, most horrific days of my life. I’ve had the opportunity of getting to know @zaraabidofficial up close and personally. She lit up every room she walked into with her bright, ear-to-ear smile, her carefree laugh and her warm, welcoming personality. She had eyes that glistened of promise and honesty, and she always knew what she wanted from her life- she wanted more. A driven, beautiful, talented being, who welcomed everyone she knew with warm hugs. The pride of our fashion industry, who redefined conventional beauty standards and left her mark where ever she step foot! It is indeed a sad day, and I’m hoping we could all spare a while to pray for Zara Abid, her family and for all of the people affected by the devastating crash yesterday. Always in power, Zara! Always.♥️

I only met @zaraabidofficial a couple of times. I loved her humility and her love for life. She was rapidly beginning to make her mark on the industry and had so much to live for, so much more to achieve. Whatever she had achieved in her career was all due to her tireless hard work and passion for work. Like all the others on the flight, a life extinguished before its time. We miss you Zara.. 💔 My thoughts and prayers with her family as they are with all the others who have lost a loved one.. 🥀 RIP 22.5.2020 #pk8303 #planecrash #gonetoosoon #myhearthurts

Still remember the first time I saw you and noticed your eyelashes. In amazement i asked, are those real? You smiled and replied, yes of course! It was always a pleasure working with you. I’m always going to remember all those moments we shared – from countless shoots together to the numerous beauty secrets we shared. You were always full of positive energy and I’m sure you’re shining in heaven just like the way you did in this world. Rest in Peace, Zara ❤️. Will always miss you.
