10 Favourite Parents In Current Pakistani Dramas

Parents are the building blocks of a human being. How one is brought up affects one’s life till their death and parents play a very important role in how your life turns out. Unfortunately, the parents we see in Pakistani dramas are generally for making tea or getting a heart attack but at times, the makers do put some effort and make parental characters that inspire and teach the audience how a parent should behave in crisis and stand by their children.

We currently saw some great parents on our screens and here is a list so you can appreciate them as well:

Syed Mohammad Ahmed is known as the best father in the Pakistani television industry. He does not like to play these characters but he ends up becoming the cute father who dies of a heart attack in nearly every second drama. In Zard Patton Ka Bunn, the actor is playing Dr Nofil’s father and he is someone others should aspire to be like. He understands his child’s challenges and advises him. He stands by his son’s decisions and never brushes off his feelings. The best part is how he lets his son be vulnerable and emotional in front of him. Syed Mohammad Ahmed has nailed the character and he is definitely one of the best on-screen parents right now.

He is a girl dad that we want to see on our television screens. He stands by his daughter’s conviction, supports her right to education and did not force her to marry a man she did not like.

Zara is a very strong girl who is a doctor and she is still making sacrifices to save her marriage. Her role is very inspiring and close to reality but her parents played by Shamyl Khan and Farah Sadia took the cake.

They only want her to be safe and not get back in a coffin, a mindset that needs to be propagated strongly in our society.

She is a parent who stood by her son’s love and choice and she is now helping her daughter-in-law to settle in her new home. A sweet woman who is neither a saint nor a sinner but only human.

Hunaid and Safina had both their weaknesses. Hunaid was a terrible husband and a man who was brought up with hate inside him. He hated girl children and felt they were not good enough.

Yousuf Chacha From Mann Jogi

10 Favourite Parents In Current Pakistani Dramas

Mann Jogi is a beautiful tale of real people. Syed Tanveer once again makes the list and this time a father figure who empowers and supports his children even in the face of death. He supported and protected his own daughter Anita and made her a woman who does not need anyone in her life while he supported Aliya in adversity. He believed her as she was his own daughter when her own brother could not. A beautiful character which depicts what a father is and that a parent is someone who stands by you like a parent despite not being related to you by blood.

These are some of the best parents that we have on television right now. Which other television parent is impressing you right now? Share in comments!
