Pakistani drama industry has seen many new actors in the past few years and some of the experienced ones continue to play leading roles in dramas. Many of these actors truly deserve the hype and projects they get but there are also those who have not been able to justify their position in the industry. These overrated actors have limited talent and range yet we see these actors playing leading roles in many dramas with star cast. One thing common among all these actors is that fame and notable projects were served to them on a silver platter. However, this ease in obtaining high-profile roles is not the reason why we think that they are overrated. There are many other reasons but the most common one has to be the lack of versatility, talent, and vision.
Here is a list of the most overrated Pakistani actors right now:
Ayeza Khan
Ayeza Khan always manages to bag big dramas and has worked in many notable dramas. Yet, she has been unable to get herself recognized as a serious actress. In all these years, she does not have a single project to her credit in which she stood out more than any of her other co-stars. Ayeza Khan brings with her a big wardrobe, the perfect make-up looks, and even decent performances but is she really as big as an actress as the production houses make her out to be? We think not! Ayeza Khan’s name sells dramas because she has a fan following but she lacks versatility and the screen presence to stand out. Most of her performances have been forgettable and repetitive.
Hiba Bukhari
Hiba Bukhari is another actress who is full of confidence because she has worked in some of the biggest dramas. Sometimes, it is really difficult to tell how she has managed to make it this big in an industry with so much competition. Her acting skills are limited to a few expressions and whenever she tries to be versatile, she fails. Her make-up and wardrobe choices also failed to impress multiple times. Most of the time her acting is the opposite of effortless; she fails to make her roles appear natural and seamless. Yet, she is another favorite of many of the leading production houses!
Alizeh Shah
Alizeh Shah entered the drama industry when she was really young. Her first television appearance had us convinced that she had what it took to be a remarkable actress. Honestly speaking, she also has the talent but what makes her overrated is her non-seriousness towards her craft. She chooses to play similar roles repeatedly. Alizeh Shah’s wardrobe choices in her dramas also show that she is not interested in putting in a lot of effort to perfect the look of her characters in dramas. The hyper-focus on gaudy make-up to make up for the lack of wardrobe is another reason why it is impossible to take her seriously as an actor. It is sad that someone with so much potential has completely ruined their actual talent because the production houses pamper her needlessly. Alizeh Shah’s entire career is an example of why not to pamper an actor more than they deserve! Production houses love her but we think she is a lost cause thanks to this pampering. The favoritism from the industry may have hindered her growth and credibility as a performer.
Dur e Fishan Saleem
Dur e Fishan Saleem is another favorite nowadays who has played the leading role in the popular drama Kaisi Teri Khudgharzi and made a big name for herself. Her styling, make-up, and wardrobe have improved a great deal and now in Jaise Aap Ki Marzi she looks her best. However, these beautiful looks do not make up for her limited range as an actress. In Jaise Aap Ki Marzi there have been so many instances when she failed to meet expectations. Although she has been given the perfect opportunity to play a strong woman on-screen, she has messed it up multiple times. Dur e Fishan’s dialogue delivery lacks clarity in many scenes and her expressions are also not impactful enough. She does not add the appeal to her characters which can make them memorable. Even though she is another favorite among the producers, we think she has a long way to go!
Zaviyar Nauman
Zaviyar Nauman is the new ladla of the Pakistani drama industry solely because he is Nauman Ijaz’s son! This young man has played a leading role in multiple big dramas in a short span of time and it is difficult to say which performance was the most underwhelming one. The honest and brutal truth is that if he wasn’t Nauman Ijaz’s son he would have ended up playing supporting roles in soap serials for years! Yet, he has been awarded, appreciated, and promoted by the top production houses in the country in a short span of time. Out of all the actors on this list, Zaviyar Nauman has to be the most overrated, and his status as the star son who gets royal treatment goes to show how the showbiz industry works!
Arsalan Naseer
Arsalan Naseer was recently given the best actor award at the Lux Style Awards and we were left wondering who voted for him because clearly, he does not have a single decent performance to his credit. Arsalan Naseer delivers his dialogues in the most robotic manner and always fails to align his expressions with his dialogues. He lacks the talent and screen presence to play leading roles in dramas yet he is on a roll! He is another actor who will probably be getting many more leading roles because success as a YouTuber or social media star now makes up for the complete lack of talent in the drama industry.
Khaqan Shahnawaz
Numerous Pakistani actors have spoken about the advantages of having a fair complexion in the Pakistani drama industry. We are guessing that this preference for fair skin is the likely reason behind Khaqan’s frequent casting in various acting projects. We understand that there is a dearth of young actors in the industry but surely if the producers search more seriously, they will have better choices at their disposal. Khaqan Shahnawaz is still in the process of learning how to act yet he is already getting big projects and prominent roles. The production houses also promote him as if he has what it takes to make it to the top but we beg to differ.
While there are many other actors in the drama industry who do not fall in the ‘best’ category, the actors on this list are those who are treated like star actors even though their acting skills leave a lot to be desired.
We are certain many of our readers might disagree with our choices therefore please feel free to share your views.

Adnan Zafar aka Pakistani Ken Doll is one of the most successful and famous influencers from Pakistan. Hailing from Faisalabad, Ken has come a long way and he is currently loved by millions across borders. He is Pakistan’s first Ken Doll and fans love his work and the content he creates.

Sana Nawaz has been in the industry for over two decades now. she is one of the few stars who were still relevant after the downfall of the film industry. She has done great work in films and people love her for that and she later on won hearts when she stepped into dramas. Her role in Alif, Allah Aur Insaan can never be forgotten and since then she has been actively working in television.
Sana has a vast experience in the industry and she knows how limelight works and what professionalism is. Sana was a guest on Mazaq Raat and she shared her opinion on the misplaced opportunities celebrities have today. She said that in older times, actors had to learn at work and learning basic work was the top priority. there was not much margin for rrors and work is what they used to focus on.
Nowadays, people are always stuck in their airport looks and looking good has become the main priority for young talent. Sana said when these people will become brand ambassadors without any work behind them, their prioriries will be misplaced and they will care more about looks and not about doing great work.
The field of entertainment demands an immense amount of time and unwavering dedication. It is also a world characterized by allure and extravagance. Pakistani celebrities, just like celebrities from any other part of the world, are frequently at risk of losing themselves in the middle of the constant demands of the industry. Within this highly competitive arena, celebrities must remain consistently devoted to their craft. This often leaves them with limited time to divert their energy towards welfare activities and other such purposes.
While many Pakistani celebrities such as Mahira Khan, Mehwish Hayat, Javeria Saud, Maya Ali, Ahsan Khan, and many others have associated themselves with different causes, there are only a handful of celebrities who have made these causes their primary purpose. Considering the kind of popularity and influence these celebrities exercise, there is so much more that they can do for their country, especially for that segment of society that has lost its voice.
A real hero in our opinion is any celebrity who has always been on the forefront while helping those in need. Not just this, these celebrities have over the years left no stone unturned to use their star power in the best way possible to benefit others. The love they feel for their cause is reflected in everything they do. While some of these heroes may not boast the same level of stardom as some of their counterparts in the entertainment industry, they have carved out a special place in the hearts of the people. Their authenticity, humility, and selflessness make them invaluable treasures in a world where fame often overshadows the true essence of humanity.
Here is the list of those Pakistani celebrities who are heroes in the true sense of the word:
Shehzad Roy
Shehzad Roy had a bright career as a musician and an on-screen persona that charmed many. However, for the past few decades, Shehzad Roy’s main focus has not been his music but his philanthropic work which has become his actual identity. At a young age, he founded Zindagi Trust and since then he has been silently altering the lives of those who needed this help the most. His trust focuses on the education of children as a tool for eradicating poverty and causing awareness.
In 2003, the Trust introduced the groundbreaking notion of “I-am-paid-to-learn,” a non-profit initiative designed to provide gainful opportunities for working children as a viable alternative to child labor. This program not only offers them a pathway to economic independence but also imparts crucial knowledge about their rights as children, laborers, and active members of society.
Through his initiatives, major changes have also been made in the mainstream educational institutions as well as in the Matriculation system. He has also worked with the UN to tackle serious issues such as drugs and crime. The list of work Shehzad Roy has done is extensive. He has been awarded by the government multiple times for his humanitarian work.
Nadia Jamil
Nadia Jamil is another exceptional Pakistani celebrity who has a remarkable acting career which she could have easily furthered even more to get monetary gain and earn more fame. Yet she chose to take a road less traveled and dedicated her time and energy mainly towards taking care of and raising voices for children who have no future or who have been sexually assaulted. For the past many years, Nadia Jamil’s primary focus has been on nurturing and safeguarding the rights of children who find themselves in terrifying circumstances, particularly those who have been deprived of a promising future or who have endured the harrowing experience of sexual assault. This choice reflects her unwavering commitment to using her influence and resources to advocate for the voiceless and vulnerable.
Nadia Jamil has fought many personal battles in the recent past as she fought Cancer bravely. She did not let this stop her from continuing to protect these children in every way she could. She has also adopted such children and has given them a bright future. Nadia Jamil is the most vocal celebrity on social media who does not shy away from voicing her opinion about the injustices against children in particular.
Nadia also shared her own harrowing experience of being sexually assaulted at the young age of 4 so that she could give all such victims out there the inspiration to go on with their lives with their heads held high. Nadia Jamil has deliberately taken a step back from the spotlight of her acting career, a realm where she could easily continue to thrive, to fully immerse herself in her mission to assist and save children. This conscious decision is what truly elevates her to the status of a real-life hero in our opinion.
Massarat Misbah
Massarat Misbah is a Pakistani celebrity who is a success story in many ways. From winning personal battles at a young age to becoming a woman of substance, she has used her resources and influence to help women who are victims of acid attacks through her foundation Depilex Smileagain Foundation. Her journey is marked by resilience, compassion, and a firm commitment to making a difference in the lives of women who have endured the distressing ordeal of acid attacks. Through her foundation, Smileagain, Massarat Misbah has harnessed her resources and influence to uplift and empower these survivors.
At a young age, Massarat Misbah confronted personal trials that tested her inner strength. It was through these challenges that she developed a profound sense of empathy. Rather than allowing adversity to define her, she channeled her experiences into a mission to bring hope and transformation to the lives of others. Her journey took a remarkable turn when she founded Smileagain, a foundation that stands as a beacon of support for women who have been victims of acid attacks. These survivors often face not only physical scars but also deep emotional and societal scars, as they are frequently shunned and marginalized. Massarat Misbah’s foundation does not only give these victims the medical help they need but she also recruits them in her businesses. In this manner, these women and men are able to become economically independent.
Massarat Misbah is a successful entrepreneur who also stepped into acting at the beginning of her career but gradually she has carved a new identity for herself as a philanthropist as well which has been recognized on the international level.
Hadiqa Kiani
Hadiqa Kiani is another Pakistani celebrity who is highly gifted; she is a musician, songwriter, actress, and guitarist. But her most notable work to date has to be the selfless devotion to flood victims for more than a decade now. While many people know about Hadiqa Kiani’s endeavors to relocate and help the flood victims in Balochistan this past year, some people might not know that Hadiqa has been associated with this task for more than a decade now. Back in 2010, she was working alongside UNDP very actively to lend support to the flood victims.
Since 2022 Hadiqa Kiyani made her own organization Vaseela Rah and there was no looking back after that. She achieved her objective with unwavering dedication and hard work. While at the same time, she continues to shine in different projects on television. Just like all the other celebrities on the list, Hadiqa has often compromised on her showbiz activities so that she could focus more on her philanthropic work. She has time and again shown her dedication and commitment towards the welfare work she has been so actively involved in.
Shahid Afridi
Shahid Afridi made a big name for himself both locally and internationally because of his remarkable skills as a player. He is not just a great sportsman but also an amazing human who runs his own charity foundation which has done a great deal in so many different fields that need attention. Shahid Afridi Foundation (SAF) has been working on a mass level to provide clean water, education, health facilities, and emergency services to the people of Pakistan. Not just this the organization has also helped youngsters who are passionate about sports pursue their dreams. SAF is a globally registered charity organization that has been working under the supervision of Shahid Afridi and Jahangir Khan for over 8 years now.
The real-life heroism of each one of these celebrities is a poignant reminder that heroism can take many forms. Their actions and selflessness also serve as a reminder that true heroism can be found in the simplest acts of kindness, compassion, and firm dedication to making the world a better place for all. These real-life heroes are a source of inspiration for us all and deserve to be recognized and cherished for the profound impact they make. Their choice to prioritize the welfare of others over personal success is a testament to their enduring commitment to a higher purpose, making them genuine heroes in our eyes.
