Zubaida Tariq, renowned Pakistani TV chef has passed away late on Thursday night. Popularly and affectionately known as Zubaida Apa, has left her fans and followers shocked by her unexpected death.
Zubaida Apa, was known in Pakistani households as a font of culinary and housekeeping wisdom. Her cooking show Handi was one of the most watched programmes on Hum TV’s Masala channel. On her show, she would regularly take viewers’ calls to answer their culinary queries and suggest home remedies for problems as wide-ranging as hair-loss to the common flu.
Here’s how the bereaved fans on twitter are responding to the news
RIP Zubeida Apa ; a motherly figure to millions of households. Hers was a life well spent ; positive, kind and so full of life. Saw her interview where she she showed her bangle collection – Nearly 5000 of them. What an iconic figure!
