Actress Meera’s Younger Sister Dies in London After Prolonged Battle With Cancer

Actress Meera’s younger sister, Shaista Abbas, a qualified lawyer based in London, has died after battling cancer for several years.

Meera confirmed the tragic news in an interview with Geo News from New York, saying that her sister passed away at a hospital in London. The actress expressed deep sorrow over her inability to travel to the United Kingdom to be with her sister during her final days.

Meera said she had repeatedly appealed to British authorities for a visa, including on humanitarian grounds, as Shaista’s health continued to deteriorate. However, her requests were not granted.

Shaista, who had also appeared in a Pakistani television drama, had been residing in the UK and suffering from advanced-stage cancer for several years. Their mother remained with her during her final days.

Meera had publicly appealed for a UK visa in September 2026, citing her sister’s critical medical condition and her desire to be by her side.

The actress has described her sister’s death and her inability to visit her as deeply devastating. The tragedy has also drawn attention to her repeated appeals for humanitarian consideration from British authorities.

Meanwhile, condolences and messages of sympathy have been pouring in on social media, with fans and members of the entertainment industry expressing solidarity with Meera and her family during this difficult time.
