He leaves behind a wife. Married six years ago, they did not have any children.
Hassan, like many actors of his generation, had started his career from a children's program on Radio Pakistan. He lent his voice to many drama serials from room no 9 of Radio Pakistan.
His acting career, spanning nearly 50 years ranged from performances for radio, television, stage and film.
Veteran actor Muhammad Ali was closest to Hassan, having worked with him in many plays, including those produced by Khuwaja Moinuddin.
In addition to his career on the airwaves, the celluloid and the small screen, Hassan had also showcased his acting talents on the theatrical stage, some of which were with renowned actor Moin Akhtar. His play ‘Bakra qiston per’ gained critical acclaim. His last stage performance was in Nazar Hussain's ‘Hum log.’
Despite his exploits on film, radio, and stage, Hassan will be most remembered for his role in the television drama ‘Quddusi sahab ki bewa,’ which was based on issues surrounding a lower middle class locality of Pakistan.
His most memorable film remains ‘Jaag utha insaan’.
His funeral prayers will be held on Thursday afternoon at Ghazali mosque, Civic View, Hassan Square.

It's sad to know that Maqsood Hassan is no more, (إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ) His acting skills and voice overs, are just amazing. 10s generation knows him through Qudusi Sahib Ki Bewa where she portrays a titular character by name his himself. May Allah keep his soul in heaven with peace and may his sins be forgiven.
RIP. Great actor!
