Actress and talk show host Tabassum passed into the ages on Friday, November 18.
At a prayer meet on Monday, film folk paid homage to the lady who personified effervescence in every episode of her long running Doordarshan talk show, Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan, which ran from 1972 to 1993.
Tabassum began acting early and was known as Baby Tabassum even when she was a senior citizen!
