Komal Meer is a young actress and model. She started her career with Miss Veet Pakistan and she later transitioned into acting. She has starred in several dramas and she is slowly making her way in the drama world. She is also friends with all the top stars and we often see her at different events. The starlet was seen some time back at Yashma Gill’s sister’s wedding and she looked beautiful. This is how she looked:
Komal Meer has now debuted a new look which is being dubbed as a slight weight gain. She shared pictures and videos which went viral on social media. She looks different and her face looks a bit fuller after the “weight gain”. She is still looking beautiful and this is her new look. Here are some before and after pictures of the starlet:
The Internet as usual has a lot to say about Komal’s sudden change in look. Many people think that it is not weight gain but fillers. They are comparing her to different people including Javeria Abbasi and Aishwarya Rai. Many think this weight gain is not natural but plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures. Fans have seen her at events in the past month or so and believe that such a huge change in weight is not possible in such a short period of time. This is what they had to say:
It is not easy to find friends who are true to you in the showbiz industry. Most of the people belonging to the world of glitz and glamour very often say that because of the aggressive competition in the industry people do not stay friends for very long. There are however some celebrities who have very successfully carried out their friendships despite all the hardships that one might face when they are in the limelight.
It makes their fans and followers happy to see these stars getting along so well. Many of these friends vacation together because holidays are more fun with friends. Some have also chosen to work together many times because sometimes it is good to stick together in the showbiz industry for other reasons too.
There are quite a few Pakistani celebrities who have kept their friendships intact for so many years and then there are others who are so close that they call each other ‘friends like family’ really often. There are also those Pakistani celebrities who have friends outside the celebrity circle but they never formed lasting friendships with their co-stars. Some of the celebrities also believe that talking too often about their friendships openly is not something they are fond of therefore although these celebrities are not seen sharing details about their friendships in interviews,
close scrutiny of their social media accounts and important milestones shows who their close friends are.

Sajal Ali and Zara Noor Abbas
These two divas have known each other for more than a decade.

Best Pakistani Dramas of 2019 – Every single year, our drama channels strive to provide quality entertainment to the viewers and the year 2019 was no different. There are a few key factors which need to be there in order for any drama to work and this year; we did get to enjoy some of those dramas. A great story line coupled with a brilliant direction, amazing characterization which is then backed by equally good acting are those aspects which contribute towards the success of a drama. It not always has to be a drama that has all the flavors in it, sometimes simplest of story lines and decent execution is enough to make any drama appeal to the audience.
In this list, we discuss the best Pakistani dramas of 2019 which garnered a lot of popularity and appreciation of the viewers. All these dramas had one thing or the other to offer, from complex story lines to simple ones, from stellar cast to a line up of good actors, these dramas appealed to the drama buffs and provided the quality entertainment that they were on a lookout for.
Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was hands down one of the most well-written, brilliantly acted out and superbly executed dramas of 2019. This drama set the bar so high that many of the viewers who followed it religiously, couldn’t help but compare every good drama and performance with it. Ranjha Ranjha Kardi’s story was unusual, intriguing as well as thoroughly entertaining. Imran Ashraf and Iqra Aziz’s outstanding performances coupled with some of the most unique characters made Ranjha Ranjha Kardi an exceptional show which kept the viewers glued to their television screens. There are very few dramas which leave an everlasting impression and this was definitely one of them. Ranjha Ranjha Kardi gave the viewers some of the most memorable characters played superbly by few of the best actors of the Pakistani drama industry.
One of 2019’s block buster Do Bol needs no introduction. A Sarwat Nazeer script which in simplest of manners showed the struggles of a girl who belonged to such a family which never made her feel that she belonged to them. How her father’s attitude shaped her personality and how one mistake of her landed her with such a person that she despised and then falls in love with. Do Bol’s story showed all sorts of emotions and because all of that was executed in such a simple and relatable manner, it ended up garnering immense popularity. Gaiti and Badar’s couple was well and truly loved by the audience. It was also brilliantly shown by Sarwat Nazeer that how love at times can make you selfish and how it also makes you selfless. Badar loved Gaiti selfishly and selflessly which made it quite interesting to see and explore. Do Bol is a perfect example of how simple scripts when rightly executed can turn into a blockbuster drama. Hira Mani and Affan Waheed were beyond brilliant in Do Bol and all the supporting actors did an amazing job as well.
Anaa’s story is relatively simple but it has a definite appeal. The new faces in this drama and solid performances from some of the more experienced actors make this drama interesting. Anaa isn’t the kind of play which is perfect in every way but it definitely has a lot going for it. Naimal Khawar and Usman Mukhtar’s on-screen chemistry has made the viewers fall in love with their track even though it can be really repetitive at times. Hania Aamir’s portrayal is brilliant as usual, she makes you feel for her character and keeps your interest alive. Anaa is a nice break from some of the more heavy duty dramas, it is an entertaining play which keeps you looking forward to more. This drama also explores relationships, the role ego plays in destroying relations and most importantly there are no black and white characters in this drama.

Rating: 5 Stars
Inkaar is one of the more heavy duty dramas in this list which deals with a sensitive topic and does so with great responsibility. The writer has taken inspiration from real-life incidents and has done complete justice to a difficult script. Inkaar highlights the importance of consent in a relationship and shows why some men find it impossible to respect women the way they deserve to be respected. Yumna Zaidi, Imran Ashraf, Sami Khan, Munazzah Arif and Rehan Sheikh’s performances in this drama give it the edge it needs to stand out. The makers of Inkaar have kept everything real and to the point without compromising on showing details which were important to make the viewers understand the characters and relate to the story. Inkaar is meaningful as well as engaging, definitely one of the best Pakistani dramas this year.
Khud Parast was one such drama that had an interesting story line and intense performances to its credit. Even though in the beginning it did come across as if the team was trying to show hijab as a symbol of oppression but later the story changed and it showed how imposing something on someone while committing mistakes yourself is not the way to preach someone to come to the right path. Khud Parast’s plot basically revolved around hypocrisy and the destruction it brings along in the lives of those who rely on it. Ramsha Khan and Shehzad Sheikh carried this drama on their shoulders. Asma Abbas did complete justice to the character of Bakhtawar and she made her scenes absolutely intense. The direction of Khud Parast remained consistently good and never did the director go off-track. Khud Parast definitely deserves a spot in this list because it sure was a very good drama.
Baba Jani
Writer: Faiza Iftikhar
Director: Ali Faizan Anchan
Producer: Connect Studios
Cast: Faysal Qureshi, Madiha Imam, Savera Nadeem, Saba Hameed, Faryal Mehmood, Tipu Sharif, Jinaan Hussain, Amir Qureshi, Arisha Razi, Ali Ansari, Afshan Qureshi, Shehryar Zaidi & others.
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Baba Jani was Faysal Qureshi’s first production and he deserves all the credit for choosing a mature script and not starting his production career with a typical drama. Baba Jani was an entertaining family drama which had a one-of-a-kind hero. Most of the Pakistani dramas revolve around female protagonists but this one had a different and appealing male protagonist. There were times when the editing as well as the direction wasn’t up to the mark but overall Baba Jani was a superb play with some really positive messages. Faysal Qureshi, Madiha Imam and Savera Nadeem’s performances and characters in particular were an absolute treat to watch. If this show wasn’t stretched so much then it would have been even better.
Tawaan
Writer: Rahat Jabeen
Director: Syed Wahab Jaffri
Producer: Momina Duraid Productions
Cast: Moomal Khalid, Emaad Irfani, Sajida Syed, Hina Bayat, Hina Altaf, Munawwar Saeed, Asad Siddique, Fazila Qazi, Farhaan Ali Agha & others.
Rating: 4 Stars
Tawaan was a feel good drama that revolved around the struggles of two individuals who in the most unfavourable circumstances end up together and then fall in love. Tawaan was one such drama that did show the couple facing its fair share of hardships but still overcoming everything because they believed in open communication. Even though the lead couple of Maryam and Shehroz and their chemistry was the best thing about Tawaan, the elderly couple of Shehroz’s parents and their bickering was such an enjoyable aspect of Tawaan as well. Tawaan came as a surprise where it just showed how two level-headed individuals made everything work for them by relying on patience and positivity. Moomal Khalid and Emaad Irfani played the characters of Maryam and Shehroz to perfection and their chemistry was sweet yet strong. Tawaan was such a drama that had a complex story but the manner with which it was told simply and executed brilliantly made it very special.
Suno Chanda 2
Writer: Saima Akram Chaudhry
Director: Ahson Talish
Producer: MD Productions
Cast: Iqra Aziz, Farhan Saeed, Raza Talish, Nabeel Zuberi, Mashal Khan, Samina Ahmed, Nadia Afghan, Sohail Sameer, Arjumand Rahim, Tara Mehmood, Adnan Shah Tipu, Sami Khan, Sabeena Farooq & others.
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Suno Chanda 2 provided the kind of entertainment it promised by giving the viewers a lot to laugh about. It stayed true to its theme and the script was engaging enough. Shadana’s character in particular kept the viewers coming back for more. Nadia Afghan’s performance was the highlight of this show and some of the new characters were interesting as well. It won’t be wrong to say that in this season Arsal and Jiya’s relationship was somewhat repetitive and it lost its previous appeal. Arjumand Rahim, Raza Talish and Sabeena Farooq’s characters and their performances were an entertaining addition to this serial. Suno Chanda 2 was the kind of mindless entertainment which had enough going for it to keep the viewers engaged right till the end.
Which was your favorite drama this year? Don’t forget to share your thoughts.
Aisha Khan is a household name she has won our hearts now and then with her amazing performances in projects like Mann Mayal, Woh Aik Pal, Tumhare Siwa, Mehndi, Mujhe Khuda Pe Yakeen Hai, Khuda Mera Bhi Hai, Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan Hai, Chaar Chand, Lamha Lamha Zindagi, Kaafir, Choti Si Kahani, Maseeha, Dil Ishq, Noor e Zindagi and many more. We have also seen her on big screen in Jawani Phir Nahi Ani and Abhi Tou Mein Jawan Hoon.
Aisha Khan got married earlier this year in April and it looks like the married life is treating her well. These are the things you already knew about Aisha Khan what you probably didn’t know is that her mother in law Asma Qadeer is a member of national assembly.
Aisha Khan’s mother in law won the MNA election is this General Election after working for twenty years with PTI. The daughter in law took to her instagram and congratulated her mother in law.
“20 years of hard work,dedication and untiring determination-ALL for NAYA Pakistan! From mommy-in-law to MNA!”
Ohkay so, the writing of Mustafa Afridi, direction of Saife Hassan & production of Momina Duraid; Sang e Marmar hit out tv screens tonight. The very first episode introduced the main characters effortlessly. There definitely is a lot more that has yet to unravel, but after watching the first episode, I am definitely looking forward to the tracks of few characters especially.
The drama is set in Ghari Baraan, a small town in the the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, that is still run on the basis of patriarchal ideology. The leader of the town Baraan Khan dies & that is when his son Gulistan Khan (Noman Ijaz) informs his son Aurang Khan (Mikaal Zulfikar) to come to Ghari Baraan to attend the funeral of his grandfather. Aurang returns to his village after 2 years & going by the way things run in his village & house, it was obvious that Aurang was indifferent to everything, especially his father. Gulistan Khan is someone who holds his family values & the principals set by his father close to his heart, so much so that he has developed this rigidity in his personality in order to keep the ideology of his father alive.
Aurang has two more brothers & a sister; Saifullah Khan (Omair Rana), Gohar Khan & Sherbano (Uzma Hassan). Sherbano is married to her first cousin Torah Khan & it seems like Torah Khan has a past related to his mother that he hasn’t been able to forget & move on from. Gulistan Khan has kept his other sons closer but just because Aurang has chosen a different path in his life, both; the father & the son do not share a cordial relationship with each other. Aurang returns to his village after 2 years & the welcome that he gets shows him the place he holds in his father’s heart, because Gulistan Khan only has a pile of objections related to him, be it related to his dressing, or his detachment from his family or his perspective. Saifullah & Gohar seem to be doing exactly what their father Gulistan wants, but Aurang has other plans & those plans most certainly do not include being involved in the family matters.
Looks like Aurang has a lady love (Kubra Khan) in Ghari Baraan, who is involved in a one-sided love for him. She happens to be Aurang’s childhood friend but ever since, she has only kept him near to her heart. Saif ur Rehman (Tipu Sharif) happens to be the lady love’s brother & the moment he finds out that his sister & her friend gave a ride to Gulistan Khan’s son Aurang because he was running late for his grandfather’s funeral, he gets furious. It looks like Saif ur Rehman does not share a cordial relationship with Gulistan & in general, Gulistan & Baraan Khan have made quite a few enemies throughout their lives but then it is obvious because power & authority always come with a territory.
Sherbano is definitely not happy with her husband & just because she knows that she has a strong backing of her father & her brothers, she gives her husband a hard time, who already is aloof to the world as he is engrossed in the pain of his past, related to his mother. Torah Khan seems to be the most intriguing character & I am definitely looking forward to his track. His entry was quite interesting too where he saved the thief using logic that no one could say no to. I liked how they slightly touched the fact that the people who are known for their religious knowledge tend to change their stance according to their convenience. Mullah didn’t mind suggesting the chopping of hands as per the Islamic rulings but the moment Torah Khan gave him a little bait, he fell for it & that makes Mullah quite a controversial person because it is obvious that he will never stop any barbarism that Gulistan will instigate because he is always going to maintain his rapport with him, as he knows Gulistan’s power quite well.
I liked the bonding of Aurang with his mother (Sania Saeed). She is the only one Aurang feels for & loves endearingly because she is the only one who not only understands Aurang but supports him completely too. Aurang’s mother isn’t oblivious to the detest Aurang has towards his father, that is why she tries to reason with him & try to make him understand his father’s perspective too. Their scenes together were heart-warming & done really really well.
Finally, Sherbano got what she wanted & that was an apology that too after she degraded her husband & she being the one who initiated the fight. Sherbano wants her husband to know that she has the power & she will exploit it to her heart’s content. Gulistan Khan definitely is someone who doesn’t know how to differentiate between emotions & practicality because despite knowing what Gohar did, he made sure that Torah apologizes to Sherbano. Gulistan obviously looks down on his brother’s children because it looks like his brother did something in his life that he certainly doesn’t or didn’t approve of & I am sure it will have something to do with the choice of his life partner, that is Torah’s mother. Torah also has a sister who seems a bit too interested in her cousin Aurang, but we’ll have to see who will eventually become Aurang’s life partner.
Overall, this episode was quite interesting. Even though the setting & the theme of the drama is on the serious side & I am sure it will keep on getting dense as the episodes will progress, but I liked the precise approach of the director where in just a few scenes, he told us about the mentality that Gulistan Khan endorses. I must say I’m glad to see Hassan Noman in this drama, even though he has a side role to play but I am sure he will leave a great impact. It was a treat to watch him in Preet Na Kariyo Koi & I am sure things would be no different in this drama as well. I must say, I am glad that the drama makers are moving outside the vicinity of Karachi city & exploring more places in our dramas, it changes the mood completely & gives you something refreshing to watch. The acting of all the actors was great & I am eager to see what Noman Ijaz has in store for his fans. Definitely looking forward to the next episode. Please share your thoughts about the first episode of Sang e Marmar.
This episode opened with Haider submitting to the decision of the jirga because he could not see his Taya suffer the consequences of his actions. The conversation between Bibi jaan and her daughter and the ones between Tahira and her mother had absolutely no impact for two reasons. Bibi Jaan’s character is very confusing; I am still not sure which side of her is real!! I am all for grey characters but she goes from loving Shehla to treating her like she is a nobody in no time. After everything she said to Shehla in the previous episode, it was impossible to relate to her feelings for her “daughter”! She was shown saying to Shah Sb that she didn’t want to raise Shehla but had to because he forced her to and now tonight she told Shehla she lost a baby and when Shah Sb brought Shehla she felt like she got her baby girl back! Bibi Jaan’s character isn’t making a lot of sense right now. The actress playing Tahira does not know how to act, I am surprised that she is getting so much work! There is absolutely no variation in her acting, her dialogue delivery is flat and her expressions confusing. Same is true for the actress playing her mother.
The visit to the Mazar and all of Shehla’s conversation with the maid seemed like filler scenes – I am still wondering why they got so much screen time. All of Shehla’s efforts, her emotions and even her conversation with Haider fell flat because of Naveen Waqar’s terrible portrayal and dialogues which were not very touching. She looked good playing the bubbly Shehla but she isn’t very impressive playing the emotional fool who has no control over herself. Shah Sb’s concern for his children and his helplessness was the only part of this episode which I could relate to, rest of it did not work for me at all.
Mansoor and his father just like Bibi Jaan are showing their true colors now. Mansoor’s father does not respect his wife or women in general which is why Mansoor is the same. I am wondering now how could Shah Sb not know this about him since they are bachpan ke dost! Once again a character which was shown as a positive one has been turned into a villain all of a sudden. Mansoor is greedy and he does not respect women therefore Shehla is going to face a very tough time once she gets married to him. Emaad Irfani’s acting too was unimpressive in this episode and Irfan Khoosat is a complete misfit for playing this role. Mansoor found out in tonight’s episode that Shehla was not Shah Sb’s real daughter but that doesn’t change much because he is not marrying her, he is marrying the money and status which he will get automatically once he marries her.
So far, this drama is getting worse with every passing episode already! None of the characters or actors are standing out in any of the roles. There is zero chemistry between the actors and even the most emotional scenes fail to have an impact. The preview of the next episode promised some drama – Shehla will do something extreme after Haider tells her once again that they don’t have a future together. So far the only episode of this drama which was better out of all the 4 which have gone air was the 1st one. The previous episode was full of loop holes and this one was unimpressive to say the least.
How many of you watched this episode of SDBN? Do share your thoughts about it.
P.S. The review of Tum Kon Piya will be posted tomorrow.
Gone are the days when every other Pakistani drama would guarantee its viewers some quality entertainment. From the last few years, where we have seen some great dramas, our industry has churned out some worst dramas as well. There was a time when we hardly came across those dramas that could be labeled as worst because the priorities of our drama-makers were different where their first & foremost focus used to be on the viewer satisfaction, as they knew that they were making these dramas for the viewers & not for themselves, but sadly, that is not the case anymore because our drama industry has turned into another lucrative business & our drama-makers have turned into businessmen where in this day & age the thing they care the most about is the rating. The higher the rating, the greater the misapprehension of believing that the viewers want them to ruin the charm of the drama & also deviate the story from the main plot with which it started, that is why these days, the moment our drama-makers smell the reek of TRP’s, they decide to stretch the drama like a chewing gum, which only in the end deserves to be dumped into the trash can by the viewers, but hey who cares, as far as they are getting the ratings right?
We have two categories of worst dramas these days, in the first category, the dramas are ruined because of the ratings & in the second category, we have those dramas that do not have any substance or story to begin with, but are promoted by the makers as if they will break all the records of popularity, only for the viewers to find out that they were fooled by the drama-makers.
So, in order to pay tribute to these rating-ruined chewing gums, here is the list of the worst 5 dramas of the season & we’re sure that you will agree with the order of the list as well:
Mann Mayal
Writer: Samira Fazal
Director: Haseeb Hassan
Producer: Momina Duraid, Sana Shanawaz, Samina Humayun & Tariq Shah
Drama serial Mann Mayal tops this list for innumerable reasons. The number one reason why Mann Mayal tops this list is that there were huge expectations attached to this play because this was Hamza Ali Abbasi’s first play after Pyare Afzal which was a massive hit, the director of Mann Mayal Haseeb Hassan was the man behind Diyar-e-Dil which was also a very successful drama and most importantly it was promoted aggressively by the producers as the love story of 2016 which would make viewers forget all the other love stories they had ever seen on their television screens. Everyone who was associated with this play made tall claims before this drama went on air. For a few weeks the drama did make sense and it seemed promising but the second Mannu got married and Salahuddin moved to Karachi, things took a turn for the worse and then from there on things just kept on getting more illogical.
The viewers who had started watching the show continued watching it out of curiosity and also because they hoped that it will get better therefore the drama got ratings and as a result the people at the helm of affairs decided it was time to give the viewers another 5 no 7 no maybe 10 more weeks of a drama they liked so much! This is when things completely stopped making sense altogether. Characters appeared and disappeared whenever they were needed to take the story forward, there was hardly any connection between different events and even the major developments in the play happened without a climax and there was no aftermath shown either. Choppy editing and zero continuation in the story made the drama unbearable to watch.
Mann Mayal
Writer: Samira Fazal
Director: Haseeb Hassan
Producer: Momina Duraid, Sana Shanawaz, Samina Humayun & Tariq Shah
Yes! Mann Mayal is first and second on the list because mentioning it only once wouldn’t be “fair” with the viewers who have put up with this torture for so many weeks! Apart from a weak story-line, choppy editing and a drama which has no direction another reason why Mann Mayal is the worst drama of this season and most likely the entire year is that some very talented actors disappointed their viewers by choosing to play characters which unfortunately have become their new introduction in a bad way!
Jeena is the first example – I will think twice before tuning into any drama which has Ayesha Khan in the cast!
Mannu – it is seriously upsetting to see someone like Maya Ali, who doesn’t need to bank on characters which rely solely on becharapan and rona dhona doing exactly that! One would expect such a thing from actresses who are still struggling but why would Maya Ali settle for something like this?
Salahuddin – Hamza Ali Abbasi has been the biggest disappointment as Salahuddin. Not only is his character weak but his acting is the opposite of effortless!! Too many expressions, too much effort and very little emotions make his acting as well his character an epic fail.
The parents – the parents in this drama are a joke! Mannu’s parents in particular have played a major role in making sure that Mannu stays a bechari for the longest time. Saba Hameed, who has been part of some very impressive projects and always gives her best looks bored and disinterested in this one because of obvious reasons. Mannu’s abba’s change of heart and personality from time to time has been very difficult to digest.
On the whole Mann Mayal banks on isolated events and there is no continuation. If you try to make sense out of this show you end up feeling very upset and frustrated. It has been a perfect example of a drama which was supposed to a hit but on the contrary is a huge failure!
Zara Yaad Kar:
Writer of Season 01: Khalil ur Rehman Qamar
Writer of Season 02: Amna Nawaz Khan
Director: Amna Nawaz Khan
Producer: Amna Nawaz Khan
THE LAST VIEWER CLAPPING AT THE END OF THE DRAMA: Amna Nawaz Khan
The drama set in the 1780’s actually started looking like an insult to all the intellectuals who were watching this drama, because it was a poor attempt of the writer to show that he has got more brains than all the viewers combined. A drama that began with the story of a selfish character, making the viewers believe that she will face the consequences, turned into a Happy Halala story where now the ex-husband is on the hunt to find a temporary husband for his ex-wife. When the drama began, we all expected that KRQ-Factor, the wow-factor which drew the viewers’ attention in the first place because everyone is aware of the magic that KRQ’s scripts have created before, but as the episodes progressed, it turned into a chewing gum that was not only losing its elasticity but was losing its taste too. Just when the viewers expected the finale, season 2 of the drama began where the director, mistook herself as the writer & took over the script, hitting the last nail in the coffin because all of a sudden the main leads took the back seat & the forced side characters got the limelight & I might as well add that such side characters/actors where one is totally acting-free & the other is in literal sense breaking the bones, arms, legs of English & Urdu.
This drama could have made a bigger impact if the director had curbed the urge to turn it into a chewing gum because at this stage, this drama is beyond the level of tolerance & has completely lost its purpose. All the characters are now looking like a bunch of doormats, giving each other a tough competition as to which one is a better doormat than the other. Another strong (coughing sarcasm) point of this drama was its dialogues, that in the initial stages made quite an impact & kept the viewers hooked but as the episodes progressed & the story stopped making sense, these dialogues turned into a boring philosophy class that forced the viewers to scratch their heads in the state of confusion because where at one hand, things were as ridiculously simple as black & white, the falsafa class was getting more complicated & difficult to understand, so much so that even one of the characters in the latest episode blurted out ke philosophy jharna band karo & I say Amen to that. The slowwwwwwwwww-mo direction & reactions of all the actors serve as a very strong lullaby for all the viewers & not to forget the forlorn face of Haadi, colorless face of Aneesa, uncombed stands of Uzma, stark white face of Gaiti that gives Casper a tough competition, Gaiti’s angrez-chalay-gaye-mujhe-chorh-gaye accent & foundation-zada face of Waqar, all these things contribute in making this drama one of the worst dramas of this season!
Mor Mahal:
Writer: Surmed Sebai
Director: Surmed Sultan Khoosat
Producer: Baber Javed
This drama is a depiction of the fixation that our writers have with the saas-bahu sagas because the makers of Mor Mahal showed that no matter which century it is, or which era it is, saas-bahu tiffs are what the viewers are going to get & what the writers are going to write because they can not think of anyyyyyyyyyyyything else & they aren’t creative enough, boo hoo!!! I still remember the day when the innocent me saw the promotional posters of Mor Mahal on Facebook, that got me excited about the fact that we were going to get an amazing period drama of the recent times but as I started watching, I found out that this drama had a mother, who was fixated with her son’s millionth shab-e-uroosi & then we had a few wives who were crying buckets because they got married to a feminine husband who only looked manly from the surface but had a brain a size of a peanut & an attention span of a poodle. The promotional posters showed some battles & some manly stuff but when the actual drama began, it turned out to be an entire different story where the ladies were always in the limelight & their petty politics were getting the most coverage. The writer also tried to add in the quotient of fantasy in this drama which actually served no purpose at all because none of the situations were synced with each other. The entire focus of the creative team of Mor Mahal was on the set, costume & jewelry designing but then, how long did they expect that 2 rooms, 3 walls & 2 head-gears will keep the viewers hooked to the drama? In my opinion, the walls made of cardboard, the forest on Akhari’s head & the dim lighting also contributed a great deal in making this drama a worst drama of the season. My readers who have followed my reviews know it really well that my patience level is a bit too high but at the 14th episode of this drama, I gave up because just like Asif Jahan lost his marbles, I lost my level of patience as well. No wonder why this drama didn’t grab the attention of the viewers & didn’t earn much ratings, even though it was promoted as Star Trek of Pakistan but it turned out to be a perfect example of ‘khoda pahar, nikla chuha, wo bhi mara hua’!
Beqasoor
Writer: Sameena Ijaaz
Directed By: Syed Atif Hussain
Produced By: Big Bang Entertainment
The OST of Beqasoor still haunts me – mein beqasoor – yes that is exactly how all the viewers who watched this drama must have felt after watching a few episodes of the show. The main idea of the play was done-to-death – two sisters who are completely opposite to each other, one the ultimate bechari and the other one had all the characteristics of a materialistic and selfish girl! The fact that the bechari Hira was far more annoying than the chalak Sehr made you wonder if the writer and the director had managed to achieve their objective! The negative characters in the play kept your interest alive in the early episodes and the other characters remained predictable and boring throughout the drama.
Black and white characters, twisted turns in the story, Saboor Ali and Samina Peerzada’s never-ending rona dhona, a story which was stretched even though it lacked substance and watching amazing actors like Sajid Hassan and Samina Peerzada settle for such a mediocre script was a huge disappointment. Like all other plays which show women suffer to the extreme – from getting married to a man old enough to be her dad to getting poisoned by her mom, Hira went through it all and more – this drama got the ratings which producers want more than anything else and therefore it ended only after losing all its “fans”!
The viewers expect better from Pakistani writers, directors and producers. They also want the actors they love so much and who are clearly very talented to choose their projects after giving it a lot of thought otherwise people will lose faith in them and will be disappointed as a result of their wrong choices. The good thing is that all the dramas in this list do not define our drama industry, we are still making great dramas and hope that there will be a time when our drama makers stop compromising on quality.
Are there any other dramas which you would like to add to this list? Feel free to share your thoughts.
Zahra Mirza & Fatima Awan
Ohkay so, despite being teensy tiny bit slow, this episode was amazing & power-packed. I love watching this drama & I am so glad that even though so many episodes have gone on-air it is still going strong. I like how situations & all the characters are evolving & every episode brings a new chapter with it.
Haider has pretty much given up on his dream of becoming a politician & because he is feeling burdened by the household expenses, he is forcing himself to do a regular job that will guarantee some fixed income with which he will be able to take care of his family, but little did he know that just when he will stop thinking about everything, Asfand Sultan will appear in his life & ask him to join his party once again. It is amazing how Mishi has not once forced Haider to go out of the way to fend for his responsibilities because she knows that he is trying really hard. If Mishi had wanted, she could’ve easily told Haider to settle for a job but in stead, she chose to tell him to chase his dreams as she knows that politics is something that Haider is most passionate about. I am glad that they introduced this track in Haider’s life once again because things will become even more interesting.
Mishi chose to contact Qadeer because she not only had to talk about Saba but she also wanted to know about his final answer in regards to Humna too. I think it was a wise decision that Mishi made because she know that Saba’s parents would never believe what she will say & Saba will easily persuade them into believing that Mishi was lying, so she knew that if there was one person who’d actually understand the entire situation, it was Qadeer. However, I feel Mishi should have informed Haider about it too, not that it would’ve made much difference because Haider trusts her completely but it wouldn’t have hurt to have Haider’s back in this matter because one way or the other, Haider is linked to this situation because his part of the amount is missing as well.
Haider has made such a good impact on Sara in such a short span of time that even though she still feels uncomfortable at the idea of Mishi living with Haider in his humble abode, she has accepted their relationship. Sara has learned the truth that Haider might not be financially stable, but he knows how to protect Mishi & most importantly, he knows how to make her happy. Sara has seen how determined Haider is & she has also seen how Mishi is at a happy place in this relationship, so she can’t really complain much & that is why she was convinced to go to meet Mishi & Haider’s family with a wedding gift. I am glad that they didn’t cover that scene because they have shown enough of her for us to imagine what she must’ve said & how she must’ve reacted, but it was good to see Sara giving a nod of approval to Mishi & respecting her choices.
I must say, the character that has evolved into a very respectful personality is that of Khadija. It was so nice to see her complimenting Mishi over her smallest of efforts. Also, the way Khadija didn’t pay much heed to what Sara said also goes to show that she isn’t someone who will make a fuss about the facts that she herself is aware of. Khadija isn’t oblivious of the fact that Mishi comes from a very different background, that is why she wasn’t surprised at how Sara reacted & even told Mishi to not worry much about what she must be feeling or thinking. Also, I think it was quite sweet of Khadija when she refused to take the money from Mishi, saying that Haider gave that money to Mishi for her personal use. These are quite a few things that might not matter but actually do stand out in this drama because we rarely get to see such characters, such mothers in law, such husbands, such wives & such daughters in law in our dramas who deal with the situations wisely, who believe in respecting each other, who believe in letting go of the bitter stuff & who are not always on a hunt to makes the matters worse.
I loved loved loved Haider & Mishi’s scenes the most. The way they bicker, the way they taunt each other, the way they compliment each other, it is actually quite refreshing to see a husband & wife behaving like a ‘normal’ couple in the toughest of circumstances, because it shows that the power of love is so strong that they are ready to deal with anything & everything with a smile on their face. Mishi has made her place in Haider’s heart & his home too & Haider has done the same thing because the changes in Sara’s attitude are pretty explanatory. Even though in the initial stages of their marriage, it looked like Haider was quite demanding & believed in having things his way, but as their story progressed, Haider started reciprocating everything that Mishi was doing for him & his family & that is why, he made sure to form cordial terms with Mishi’s mother, as he could see that Sara’s behavior affected Mishi a lot.
So finally, Haider accepted Asfand’s offer because Mishi gave him the validation & push that he needed, but first Haider made sure to let him know that he was pretty much settled with his wife & he won’t be bothered if Asfand will once again have any objections over his marriage. It is good that Asfand doesn’t seem much concerned about Haider’s personal life & only wants his expertise in the field of politics. Mishi finally had a conversation with Qadeer, but she was shocked to know that Qadeer has moved on. I hope now when Humna will get to know this, she will kiss the idea of getting married to him good-bye because she deserves someone better than him for sure. Also, Sikandar got an answer from Wahab that he most certainly wasn’t expecting. I am still not sure if Wahab did this to get back at Haider or he was genuinely interested in Sikandar’s shop, I hope they do uncover the reason behind Wahab’s move as well.
Overall, this episode was amazing & I am so glad we’re getting to see a couple of such individuals who not only believe in supporting each other, but also believe in empowering each other with their validation, with their love & with their trust too. It was for the first time when Mishi also confessed her love for Haider & it was absolutely sweet. All the questions about ‘kangan’ were so filmy & done really well, I can’t thank the writer enough for giving us a couple that behaves normally because this is something that we never get to see in our dramas. The acting of all the actors & the direction of this drama has remained top-notch so far & I am so glad that even at this stage of the drama, the ending of each & every episode leaves us asking for more. Thank you so much team Besharam for giving us an incredibly amazing drama. Please share your thoughts about this episode of Besharam.
Ohkay so, when the smoke erupting from the green tea mug seems more interesting, when Shaan’s Korma Masala advertisement seems more enticing, when the placement of keys on your keyboard seems to catch your attention more than what’s on TV & when the past hour turns out to be the longest & most boring hour of your life, then you know for sure that the drama that you’re tuned to has turned into a disaster.
I’ll get straight to the point. I thought this drama was about the story of Uzma, Mahnoor & Haadi’s characters but I am not sure when did the writer of the season 2 of Zara Yaad kar get this idea that people will be happy to see the side characters taking the lead while pushing the main leads in the background? This episode was about Gaiti & Anoushay & what for, I am still confused. Chalo yan to unke characters gripping hote to bhi baat thi, but their characters are sticking out like sore thumb in the drama & the coverage that they are getting is totally unjustified & is only wasting the time of the viewers!!!
I think since Haadi is a brainless bug, I will suggest him to put an ad on OLX.com.pk for a temporary husband that he is in search of for Mahnoor, I am sure the process will be quicker that way, he will find the guy & we will be free from this torture named Zara Yaad Kar.
Oh well, seems like Uzma turned a blind eye from Fahad because she was too comfortable being a doormat to Haadi. Everyone in this drama is a doormat to one another. Haadi is a doormat to Mahnoor, Mahnoor was a doormat to Waqar, Uzma is a doormat to Haadi, Anoushay is a doormat to Waqar & even Gaiti was a doormat to Waqar too. So many doormats gathered at one place, how cool is that? Well, I had a good laugh at the scene where Mahnoor banged a door on Haadi’s face treating him like a doormat & I knew, I just knew it that now he will scurry like a mouse to Uzma’s home & she will not only listen to his gibberish, but will serve him tea & food too & this is exactly what happened which made me laugh out loud!!! Talk about everyone being brainless & spineless bug in this drama!!! Is this why Haadi told Uzma to cancel her wedding? Only to have her around & give him advises whenever he showed up at her doorstep like a sore loser? My blood actually boiled when I saw Haadi having a normal conversation with Mahnoor & smiling at the thought of her, after planting a seed in Uzma’s mind that she was just compromising in the name of marriage so she should rethink her decision. Haadi displayed a lot of ‘wisdom’ in analyzing Uzma’s situation, so when is he going to put his wisdom to good use in the matters concerning his own pathetic life? Also, didn’t Uzma think that she was ready to leave a guy like Fahad for a loser like Haadi, who will vanish from her life once Mahnoor will be done with Halala & get married to him again? Yeah, all this while I thought at least Uzma had some brains, but oh well!
The scene where Anoushay barged into Haadi’s room inquiring about Waqar was ridiculous & insane. Like she couldn’t get a hold of her loser two-timer boyfriend & there she was giving a piece of her mind to Haadi but yes, at least there was one thing that she said that made sense & that was ‘ye philosophy jharna band karo’, phew, at least there’s someone who thinks the same about this entire falsafa that has been happening in this drama. Waqar is another loser on the loose. I am amazed that after becoming a politician, Gaiti had the time to track Waqar down & call him. I am amazed that these episodes are written by the director herself who happens to be a female, because she left no stone unturned in making all the female characters of this drama look like a bunch of desperadoes who only dream of getting married by hook or by crook, without even bothering if the guy they are drooling over is worth it or not!!!
Oh well, the playful & pleasant music in the background of Haadi & Mahnoor’s scenes was cringe-worthy. Like the director here is showing us a love affair of ex-husband & wife & she is showing us their omlette ka nashta made by Mahnoor ke haath & is still expecting us to accept everything wholeheartedly, like seriously. Seems like even Aneesa has become a part of this adventure too, where she is eager to see her daughter commit Halala & then she covers it using her motherly instincts as an excuse, oh PHULEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!! Get over with this crap already as this drama is back to square 1 & we’re stuck in a rut.
Well, I am having anxiety just by thinking that I’ll have to tune to this drama next week that too when the preview didn’t look like that it will be the last episode. Can any angel-like-human tell me when this torture is ending because I am done with this drama & I don’t have any patience left. I must say, that after watching Shanakht, I never had imagined that Amna Nawaz Khan will become one of those drama-makers who ruin the drama for the sake of ratings & I never thought that just like Samira Fazal’s projects, I’ll have to raise my guard in regards to her projects too. I will be screening her dramas from now on because I don’t think they’re worth my time! Anyways, please share your thoughts about this pathetic episode of Zara Yaad Kar!!!
All the flashback scenes in tonight’s episode reminded me of the good old days when I believed that this drama had something grand to offer! It also reminded me of the torture this drama has put all of us through! The only thing I am looking forward to right now is an ending to this torture. Mannu’s family members welcomed her like Columbus and Ibn-e-Batutta’s families must have welcomed them when they came back from their travels. The viewers were shown the flashback scenes covering Mannu and Salahuddin like we had already forgotten about their love story.
All of Mannu’s troubles came to an end in this episode and Abba took a u-turn! After the surgery he actually had a change of heart. After torturing us for months with her becharapan Mannu is a now a more enlightened individual who knows exactly what she wants from life – yes she had a change of hear too! If the moral of the story was that girls should not see marriage as the ultimate goal than it was definitely not presented in the best way. If it was this easy for Mannu to go back to her parents’ house and live a life she wanted to live then why was Abba’s condition used as an excuse to make Mannu stay in Salahuddin’s house for the longest time? The fact is that this drama would have had a decent ending on this note if Mannu’s mother did not pressurize her to stay in Salahuddin’s house, if Mannu wasn’t turned into the ultimate bechari and if Jeena wasn’t part of this grand plan. That way Mann Mayal could have ended at episode 16.
What exactly was Jeena’s role in this story? Apart from giving Salahuddin zehr and then drinking it herself, she did not add anything to the story. She got plenty of screen time, more than Mannu and Salahuddin’s families combined together and now that she is dead I am wondering why did she get so much attention? Jeena’s character was the most unnecessary character in the show. Unless there are actually viewers out there who felt something for her.
Even in this second last episode things moved forward at a snail’s pace. I don’t want to tune into another show in which Maya Ali sheds a single tear! Maya Ali has cried so much in this drama. It is sad to see someone who is capable of so much more being wasted in a role which has absolutely nothing to offer. Salahuddin kept on asking everyone why Mannu left, what happened to picking up the phone and dialing her number to ask her why she left? Also, Mannu’s call to Salahuddin’s parents and the way he was taken away to the operation theatre was meant to mislead the viewers into thinking that he might have died. Which doctor gives a patient anesthesia before taking him to the operation theatre? That was brand new!
Oh well! The story has still not ended and once Salahuddin is fit to travel he will go to Mannu’s house with a rishta.
How many of you watched this episode and how many of you are going to celebrate when this drama ends?
The drama is back on track with Zebu playing a bigger role in the picture. So far we watched Zebu play a victim and not a survivor but in this episode she chose to do what needed to be done in order to put the person who violated her behind bars. This is the first time that we are watching such a case go to trial in a drama and in the end the rapist will get the punishment he deserves through proper channel. We have seen dramas in which rapists are shot in the end or they lose their senses but we have never seen a rapist go to trial. Although the past few episodes were somewhat disappointing because Zebu’s character had been relegated to the background but they laid the foundation for everything we saw in tonight’s episode. These latest developments will shock Imtiaz because all of this was not part of his grand plan! This episode opened with Arsh distancing himself from Meeran emotionally. He is still as dedicated to this case as he was before but after Meeran’s response to his proposal in the previous episode he is no longer willing to be “just friends” with Meeran either. Arsh’s reaction was realistic but it is still difficult to digest the fact that in all these years both of these individuals have not moved on. Meeran finally tells Arsh the truth and that is when he makes a very important decision – Zebu is the only one who should decide whether she should come out with the truth or not. This was the decision which brought Zebu back in the picture. Zebu is desperate to get her mother out of jail therefore she is willing to take this difficult step. This episode also focused on the prerequisites for taking such a case to the court. These discussions were loud and clear which was a bold yet an important step to raise awareness about the issue. The scenes in the court showed how easy it was for Imtiaz to win this case if Zebu did not decide to share the truth in the court. The viewers however were not shown why Sajida decided to plead not guilty because so far she had been saying that she would confess to the crime. Was it because of Imtiaz’s presence in the court? She did not want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he had already won the case. All the details of the case are being covered in these last few episodes therefore the pace of the drama has slowed down considerably. This episode was educational and Zebu’s growth from a victim to a survivor was a positive development but it wasn’t very entertaining. The drama sends out a very important message therefore it is there to serve a bigger purpose. Farhan Saeed has proven himself as a versatile actor in this play and Ahsan Khan has won people over with his effortless portrayal of Imtiaz. Farhat Ishtiaq’s take on the story of a rape victim is definitely very different and better from many other dramas which we have seen recently that dealt with the same subject. The story was stretched in the previous few episodes therefore the drama isn’t as entertaining as it was before but no one can deny its educational value. The director Mohammad Ehteshamuddin has extracted the best performances from all the actors involved and this episode was filled with flawless performances mostly because Ins-e-Yazdan did not make an appearance. Hina Altaf’s acting was okay in tonight’s episode, she did whatever was expected from her but she doesn’t add that little something which could have made this role special. The preview of the next episode suggested that it is not going to be the final episode and the focus will be entirely on the hearings of Sajida’s case. Zebu’s presence in the court and her side of the story will change everything. Imtiaz will lose the edge he has right now and it is then that the judge who right now seems to be siding with him will change his approach. The real question is whether Sajida’s will change her approach too or not! How many of you watched this latest episode? Do share your thoughts about it.

Ayat Noor was an unfortunate five-year-old girl who went missing in August 2026, from Haripur Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Her body was recovered from a well at a warehouse on University Road after she had been missing for around 15 days. According to police, several suspects were identified in connection with her abduction, and three were arrested. The suspects allegedly confessed to sexually assaulting the child and later disposing of her body.
Today, Ayat Noor’s father appeared on Subh Ka Samaa, hosted by Madeha Naqvi. During the show, he shared disturbing details about what happened to his daughter and also revealed the identity of the alleged culprit.
Talking to Madeha Naqvi, Ayat Noor’s father said, “We spotted the culprit in CCTV footage. The boy was seen calling the baby girl, and from there, we got a hint. It was the only clip we had which was taken by the police, after which they disappeared. There was no camera further ahead on the streets so we don’t know what happened to my daughter. The police didn’t take any action for ten days after which we decided to protest. We saw multiple delays even after the protests, but finally, there were some developments, and the police showed us the video. I saw the video and recognized an 11-year-old boy, Yousaf, a Pathan who used to live near my house. He used to play outside our house. I told them that he was the culprit but I didn’t have proof of it. From the very first day, I told the police that I knew it was him. I also investigated his elder brother, but he said that no one was at home. We continued the investigation, after which we found more culprits were involved in the case. Not only that, this boy was even searching for the culprit with me on the first day. He was an 11-year-old boy who raped my daughter, and he admitted his crime in front of the police.” Watch here:

Recently, Nauman Ijaz appeared on Pakiavellian’s podcast, where he revealed how he believes he was miraculously cured of cancer through the recitation of Surah Rahman.
Talking about his cancer diagnosis, Nauman Ijaz said, “I had one tumor here near my ear, and lymphoma in stomach. I was diagnosed in June 2024. On the day of my diagnosis, I prayed to Allah that I had never wronged anyone, never taken someone’s money, and never cheated on anyone, so I asked him to have mercy on me. You wake up every day until He wills it, so I prayed to Allah that if I had served my purpose, He should take my life quickly because I didn’t want my family to suffer the torture that comes with the disease, like going to hospitals, chemotherapy, and other things. That’s the reason why I recite a lot of verses and things before going to sleep because I don’t think I will wake up the next day. When I was diagnosed, one of my friends, Gohar Butt, asked me to start reciting Surah Rahman, and I have been reciting Surah Rahman daily since then. I have a belief that Surah Rahman played a very important role in saving me. The tumor near my ear was operated on, while the lymphoma disappeared on its own. It didn’t show up in the scans. I was surprised because they were supposed to start my chemotherapy in July. Allah has been very kind to me.” Watch here:

My husband and I drove through the streets and resuscitated our romance, and it is very important to bring back romantic moments in life. Go on holidays together, leaving the children at home, listen to good music—there are many things that I can’t tell here. But one thing is important to mention: couples forget each other in their busy routines. You should take time out and spend time together; it revives the energy in the relationship. In Karachi, we can’t be romantic because as soon as you go out for a drive, either your car gets stuck in a ditch or the dust comes in your face. So, Islamabad is a beautiful, romantic placehere is the link to the video:

He remained silent but sent his parents, which shocked me. I asked him, ‘You didn’t even confess your feelings to me?’ To which he said that everything was already settled between us, so there was no need to express or confess his feelings. I sometimes tease him now, saying, ‘You didn’t propose to me,’ but he is a shy person. The thing I love about him is that he is very caring and loving towards his family.” Watch here.

Anzalna Nawaz said, “I am watching Dar-e-Nijat because, firstly, I love Sheheryar Munawar. He’s my favourite actor. Secondly, its initial story resembles my life story, unfortunately. Even though it’s painful to share this with you, it is true. When I was a teenager, I was also madly in love. That boy was also in college. And check my stupidity: my family was all busy with Yasir’s engagement. Everyone was going to Nida Bhabhi’s house when I sneaked out and went to his car to meet my boyfriend. I invited him by force because his sister was my friend, and he was Yasir’s friend. I sat in his car. Was I this foolish? I didn’t even think about my father and my three brothers for once, and that too coming from a conservative Baloch family. I sat in their car without fear. When I reached back, the event was going on and everyone was dancing. All my brothers were angry, but my father kept them quiet. However, he was so disappointed in me because he didn’t like my act at all. I was the only sister, so I was the eye candy of my family. They never ignored my wishes, but my father never liked this guy whom I loved. I am telling you how I spoiled a special family event for a guy who wasn’t worth it. Today, I regret my mistakes. I wish you could listen to my father once. I will tell you further details later on.” Watch the video here.

Ahsan Khan is hands down one of the most successful actors in the history of Pakistani showbiz. His journey started in 1998 at the age of 16. He signed his first feature film, Nikah, and he always wanted to be a film star, as the art, glitz, and glamour attracted him towards creativity. The plan was to become a film star and work only as a hero in movies. He had the looks, he could dance, and he was willing to work hard. However, destiny had other plans.
The star started in 1998 intending to become a hero, and today, 30 years later, he has become so much more. His journey as an actor has inspired millions, and the way he has approached his craft is a roadmap for many young actors seeking stardom and acting careers. Let’s take a look at the career evolution of Ahsan Khan, who proved to be much more than a hero:
Lollywood Debut – The 90s
Ahsan Khan started his career in the old Lollywood, and he was just a teenager at the time. He featured in several films, but it was a time when Lollywood was going down, and movies were shrinking in cinemas. A young star like Ahsan Khan had to make several bold decisions, and that is what he did when he transitioned towards dramas. He started taking roles in dramas, and he was among the stars who were able to understand the power of television even at a young age.
The Leading Man – Hero Till the 2010s
Ahsan Khan is a conventionally good-looking man. The coloured eyes, the fair complexion, as well as how he has always been fit, meant the actor was seen in a specific light. He was the ultimate chocolate boy hero. He would be the lover of the leading lady, and he would be crying and being emotional. His characters were a hit, but he got stuck in a mould of a “hero” who generally had no arc in the story. The stories looked similar, and his roles were also repetitive, with the same falling in love with either one or two women in a single script.
This was a phase in his career where he was stuck in leading-man syndrome, but his performances had no versatility. People were not noticing him anymore, and this is when he decided to become someone more than a “hero”.
Udaari – The Game Changer
Udaari came as a shocker for the normal Pakistani television audience as it showed a child abuse case very openly. It addressed the child abuse that goes on inside our houses behind closed doors. The sinister character of Paa Imtiaz was turned down by many mainstream actors, and Ahsan Khan was the quintessential hero when he took on this bold decision to play it. He played this character and portrayed it with the ugliness it deserved on-screen, while he became a prominent voice who raised awareness against child abuse off-screen.
This is when Ahsan Khan showed the world that he was not just a “hero” with the ability to sing and dance on stage, but a versatile actor who can make you hate him to your core. He also took on the responsibility to portray this character sensitively and ended up becoming an off-screen hero by the way he used his voice to raise awareness against child abuse.
Alif – Another Challenge Which Paid Off
Alif was a drama with superstars like Sajal Aly and Hamza Ali Abbasi in the lead. Ahsan Khan was offered a cameo as Taha Abdul Alaa, and he was supposed to play Hamza’s father. The actor said yes to this character just because this was a beautiful script. This challenge paid off to the point that, as an actor, he received appreciation equal to the leads.
Unlike Ahsan Khan, many other actors from his generation avoid taking on such mature roles, but he proved his versatility and script sense once again when he worked in Alif.
Aap Ki Izzat – Another Milestone
The currently on-air drama Aap Ki Izzat has once again proved Ahsan Khan’s acting prowess. The show has allowed Ahsan to show his range in one project. He can portray a cheating and toxic man in his 40s, and in the very same project, he plays a boy in his 20s who is in love with his sweet wife and is trying to make it in life. People hate Tabish, and at the same time they love the actor and his versatility.
Ahsan Khan’s Versatility & Dedication
Ahsan Khan is at par with actors like Nauman Ijaz and Faysal Quraishi at this point. He makes every character his own as he works on his styling, body language, and backstory. He lost weight to play a young Tabish and gained some back to play an older Tabish. The actor also brought flair to the role of Sardar Sherdil Khan in Zanjeerain, where he plays a cameo role, and he is not even meant to be a main character.
He was the same in Alif, when he changed his hair colour to look more Turkish, while he worked on his attire and pronunciation to play Darkhzai in Mere Humnasheen. The actor has now expressed this many times: he wants to take on roles with substance, and he does not just care to be the “hero”.
Conclusion
Ahsan Khan has defined a great trajectory in his career in the last decade or so. He now picks up meaty roles and tries to make them special. Even with a show like Dayyan, he worked on the look and dynamics of his character. He is also a successful talk show host; he can dance, which gives him another edge over his peers. From Nikah to Aap Ki Izzat, Ahsan’s career has come forward three decades and it shows in his talent, dedication, and screen presence.

But this character Dr Zee Khan has made Tamasha so difficult to watch. Dr. Zee, whom I had never seen before, and I didn’t even know that he existed. I first discovered him in Tamasha, I think, the day before yesterday. He misbehaved with his fellow contestant. There is this cute girl named Samiya. She is crazy, friendly, and funny. I feel so sad that you went on a show and spoke against her. I know you have to create spicy content, but that doesn’t mean you go below the belt and target someone’s character. This is toxic behavior. I hope he gets eliminated by next week. I usually don’t hate on people, but I hate Dr. Zee Khan. He deserves it. I am sounding like him currently, as he speaks like this. I also have a bad throat.” Watch here:

Shahnawaz Zaidi is a renowned Pakistani poet, painter, professor, and actor. He began his teaching career at Punjab University and also served as a professor in Nairobi. He has also been awarded the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz. Shahnawaz Zaidi is actor Sheheryar Zaidi’s brother. His notable dramas include Nashtar, Pamaal, Case No. 9, and Khushboo Mein Basay Khat.
Today, Shahnawaz Zaidi was a guest on Good Morning Pakistan. In the show, he opened up about his love marriage, his first wife’s death, and his decision to remarry.
Talking about his wife, Shahnawaz Zaidi said, “My first marriage lasted for 37 years. I thought we would have a golden jubilee together, but it didn’t happen. It was meant this way. I married early because I am a poetic person; I instantly fell in love with my wife. I liked the girl, and there was no reason to delay it. Marriage was a great experience. Initially, there was a charm, then came reality. We also faced opposition, such as the Shia-Sunni dispute that came between us, then the Punjabi-Urdu dispute, and the Syed-Rajput dispute. Her father had chosen someone for her; he didn’t want to change his mind. I was 24 when I got married. Although my family was modern but there were also reluctant about my decision but they surrendered”
He further added, “My wife once called me crying, saying, ‘I’m diabetic. You should think before marrying me.’ Her mother also had diabetes. We had six children in total, but the first two pregnancies were aborted. I then got a job offer from Nairobi, so we went there. See the blessings of Allah: we lived there for eight years, and all my children were born there. It was because Nairobi was a beautiful place; the weather there was so calming, the health facilities were top-notch, and my wife received great care in Nairobi. During her pregnancies, she mostly spent time in hospitals. It was a blessing in disguise that we were there.”
Talking about his second marriage, he said, “It was a difficult phase of my life. I never thought of a second marriage; it was never in my plans, I used to laugh at this idea but it happened. I remarried four years after my wife’s death. It was the time when I started feeling detached and disoriented from life. I was mentally lost, I was falling apart, although I was doing my job and multiple other things but I was depressed. I didn’t know what was happening around me. Then I thought about a second marriage, but there was no one in my life. Then I found someone who was also quite younger than me; she is Iranian. Things happened smoothly. Although, initially, I never thought it could happen, and even if the idea of marrying her came to my mind, I avoided it. But we fell in love. It’s been 10 years since we got married.” Watch here:
