He always had an extremely loving and caring attitude towards all his family members. Daughter-in-law, Faiza Bilal said her father-in-law was an amalgam of humbleness and love. Granddaughter Haya Khawar in her brief remarks said her grandfather was her ideal.
She profoundly admired him for all his superior qualities which made her always feel extremely proud of him. The other speakers too immensely eulogized the mammoth contribution of Agha Nasir towards Pakistan's electronic media, particularly ptv and PBC.
