## Abeel Javed Opens Up About Husband Shehzad Tanoli’s Sudden Death
Abeel Javed is a well-known Pakistani television host who gained popularity for co-hosting Masala TV’s cooking show *Handi* alongside the late culinary expert Zubaida Tariq. The show became one of the longest-running cooking programmes on Pakistani television. Abeel reportedly got married in March 2014 and later stepped away from television hosting. She is the mother of two daughters.
In May 2026, Abeel’s husband, Shehzad Tanoli, passed away following heart failure. Recently, Abeel opened up about the heartbreaking experience and shared how his sudden death affected her and their children.
According to Abeel, Shehzad had not been unwell before they went to the hospital. She recalled that doctors discussed several possible medical interventions, including dialysis and ventilator support. The situation took a devastating turn, and his heart reportedly failed within four hours of the medical consultation.
Abeel also spoke emotionally about the challenges of facing life as a single parent and how difficult the experience has been for her daughters. She shared that her children initially struggled to understand what had happened, particularly her younger daughter, Hoorain, who did not fully comprehend the permanence of death.
Recalling the final moments when the family saw Shehzad’s face, Abeel said her daughter kept asking when her father would return and how long he would have to remain in the grave. These innocent questions made the loss even more painful for the family.
Abeel also described the heartbreaking silence her children now face when they try to contact their father through calls and voice messages. Her emotional account offers a glimpse into the grief of a family coping with a sudden loss and the difficult reality of raising children after the death of a parent.
