Standing at an incredible 7 feet 9 inches (2.36 meters), Soomro was a well-known figure both in Pakistan and internationally.

Born in the Shikarpur District of Sindh, Pakistan, Soomro's height quickly gained him recognition across various platforms nationally and internationally. Given his stature, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) wanted to get him onboard and eventually, he accepted a job with them. He was working with the national airline as a Senior Passenger Handling Services Officer in the customer service department. 

His remarkable height led him to a trip abroad to Taiwan back in 1999 where he represented Pakistan at the Guinness Book of World Records Museum. He was there for four months, and it was during this trip that he met Lin Yu Chih, one of the world's shortest men. This moment remained memorable for onlookers.  

Naseer had been battling a chronic lung disease for years. Despite the constant treatments, his condition had been worsening in the previous months. His death has left many in mourning, especially those who knew him as a warm and kindhearted person. His funeral prayers were offered in his hometown Shikarpur on March 18th, 2025 with many coming in to pay their final respects.

Despite the horrifying abuse he suffered at the hands of his captors during interrogations, he kept repeating the phrase “Pakistan Zindabad”.

When his heartless captors cut out his tongue and pulled out his fingernails – he continued writing the phrase with his own blood on the walls of his prison. His return to Pakistan was nothing short of a miracle – and his bravery and sacrifices should continue to serve as an inspiration for all of us.

The bravery of Sepoy Maqbool Hussain always brings tears to my eyes. I can not even begin to fathom what torture he endured, and it is heart-wrenching thinking of all that he lost. I firmly believe that after the grace of the Almighty, it is the bravery and selflessness of such people that is keeping the country's heart beating.
