Confirming her passing, Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association Organizing Secretary Sony Rahman stated that Nasima Khan was a lifelong member of the association who had last visited to cast her vote in the organizational elections. She had been suffering from prolonged health complications and received medical treatment both at home and abroad before her condition deteriorated recently. Born among the earliest trailblazers of national cinema, Nasima Khan made her cinematic debut in 1959 with the acclaimed film Jago Huwa Savera, later cementing her star status as a leading heroine in the 1961 classic Je Nodi Moru Pothe. Dominating Bengali and Urdu silver screens from the 1960s through the 1980s, her final silver screen appearance came in Impress Telefilm's 2011 release Kusum Kusum Prem. Prominent actors, including Omar Sani, paid heartfelt tributes on social media, remembering her unmatched grace, profound intellect, and formidable screen personality.
