Popular Pakistani actor Hamza Ali Abbasi has opened up about his struggle with kidney disease during childhood. In a recent interview that went viral on social media, Abbasi revealed that he was diagnosed with nephritis, a serious condition affecting kidney function.
Hamzaβs Early Struggle with Nephritis
The actor shared that he was between 8 and 12 years old when he suffered from the illness. He described those years as extremely painful and emotionally draining. According to Abbasi, nephritis can cause kidney failure without any clear reason, making it a frightening experience for a child.

Reflecting on the difficult time, Abbasi recalled how his mother prayed continuously for his recovery. βMy mother spread her prayer mat and cried before Allah for my health,β he said. βThank God, I was blessed with healing.β
His faith and his motherβs prayers, he added, played a major role in his recovery.

Pursuing a Dream in the Entertainment Industry
After much persuasion, Abbasi convinced his mother to let him pursue a career in the entertainment industry. His decision marked the start of a successful acting journey that made him one of Pakistanβs most respected television and film stars.
