The Pakistani showbiz industry has its fair share of nepotism. The nepotism debate gathered fire after Sushant Singh Rajput died in India. Bollywood movies were a rage in Pakistan till the last decade, and people used to follow their stars and their trajectories. Sushant’s death started a debate against nepotism in India, and like other political philosophies, this debate also skipped borders and penetrated other territories.
Pakistanis also started noticing the pattern of nepotism and started calling out a new crop of actors who have mostly been the products of nepotism. However, there is a whole crop of artists whose parents have been big names in the industry, but people are not familiar with their familial lineage. This helped these artists establish a place for themselves independent of the shadow of their famous family members.
Here is a list of stars who are nepokids, but people always overlook their parents’ influence due to their own talent and impact:
Adeel Hashmi
Adeel Hashmi is a Pakistani star who is mostly known for his brilliant Ufone ads. He is also a versatile actor, and he can successfully navigate both serious and comic characters. His presentation on the live stage and his way of interviewing are also loved and appreciated. Though Adeel Hashmi is a talented and consistent star, he is a nepokid. His mother, Muneeza Hashmi, is a famous media producer, while his father was a well-known educationist. He is also the grandson of legendary poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz and therefore hosts Faiz Mela every year.
Ali Tahir
Ali Tahir is a versatile Pakistani actor. He is known for his ability to perform every character well, be it rural or urban. He has recently impressed everyone with his versatility in shows like Sher and Zard Patton Ka Bann. He has been a part of the industry for two decades now, and people love his strong screen presence. What many people did not know was that he was also a nepokid. His grandfather, Imtiaz Ali Taj, is among the most decorated authors in the history of the country. His father, Naeem Tahir, is a veteran actor and writer, and his mother, Yasmeen Tahir, was a well-known broadcaster in Pakistan.
Momina Duraid
Momina Duraid is one of the biggest producers of Pakistan. She is the name behind some of the classics we have had in the drama world, and she is now directing the country’s first-ever Netflix series, Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo. Her nepotism connections come from her in-laws, as her mother-in-law, Sultana Siddiqui, is among the biggest media moguls. She polished her talent and provided her with a platform to showcase it. Momina went on to become the backbone of many classic projects, and today she is known as a producer and director whose name is connected to quality scripts.
Hina Rizvi
Hina Rizvi is another famous name in the Pakistani drama industry. She has been appearing in shows for years now. She has played all kinds of characters, from comedy to serious roles. Her role as Daadi in Fairy Tale is iconic. She went viral when she tied the knot with her friend from the theatre, where she has also performed. She has worked hard to establish herself in the drama industry, but many people do not know that she comes from a showbiz family. Her parents were involved in filmmaking, while her sisters, Sangeeta and Kavita, are two of the biggest names in Lollywood.
Sana Shahnawaz
Sana Shahnawaz is another star producer of the Pakistani drama industry. She is the sister of Samina Humayun Saeed, and she has received complete support from her sister and brother-in-law, who are like her parents. Sana Shahnawaz does not expose herself a lot on social media, and she has been able to produce some of the best scripts like Man Mayal, Sinf e Aahan, Alif, and Jaan e Jahan. By keeping herself on the sidelines of fame, she has been able to establish her individuality despite being a part of a big legacy.
Ushna Shah
Ushna Shah is a Pakistani actress. She has chosen some great roles over the years, and the audience finds her to be extremely talented. She became a household name after starring in Bashar Momin. Her character in Alif Allah Aur Insaan put her in the category of versatile and talented starlets. She has been able to establish herself individually, and she never really gets the nepotism tag, but her whole family has been in showbiz. Her mother, Ismat Tahira, was a PTV superstar. Her sister Irsa Ghazal is another big name in the drama industry. At the same time, her brother Shah Sharabeel is the man behind theatre revival in Pakistan as well as the man who brought many stars of today into the industry.
Fahad Mustafa
Fahad Mustafa is hands down one of the biggest stars in the country. An actor, host and producer who has given so many hits to the industry is also technically a nepokid. His father, Salahuddin Tunio, is a big name in the Sindhi industry, but Fahad actually worked hard to establish himself in the mainstream media. He became a bigger star than his father, and today his father is known by his name.
Sheheryar Munawar
Sheheryar Munawar is a Pakistani star. After completing his education, he always wanted to work behind the camera, but his good looks brought him in front of it. He is also a huge producer, and he has made films like Ho Man Jahan and Paray Hat Love. He has also stepped into producing dramas with his upcoming show Dar e Nijaat. Sheheryar has carved his own path in the industry, but he comes from a powerful background, and his aunt is none other than media mogul Sultana Siddiqui. Sheheryar managed to establish his own identity, separate from his aunt, through his dedication.
Nida Yasir
Nida Yasir is the morning show queen of Pakistani television. She has also acted, and she is a producer as well. She is generally connected to her husband Yasir Nawaz’s family, but Nida also comes from a showbiz family herself. She is the daughter of Kazim Pasha, who is one of the biggest names on PTV. Her father is the man behind classic Pakistani shows. Her mother, Fehmida Nasreen, was also a writer, director and program producer at PTV. Nida came from a family of artists, but she managed to carve a separate identity for herself.
Bilal Maqsood
Bilal Maqsood is the son of a great Pakistani writer, Anwar Maqsood, but he was never known for it. He was one-half of the iconic band Strings and created a legacy in music that is unmatched. Many fans did not even know that his songs were written by his legendary father. Bilal always received love for his voice and talent, and he was never accused of nepotism by the audience.
These stars have been able to establish unique identities for themselves, and they largely skipped the nepotism allegations. Which other star kids do you think were able to grow out of their family legacy? Share with us!

Many pointed out that she has been raising funds for Palestine but has been endorsing Israeli brands like L’Oréal for years and was recently spotted in a Pepsi campaign. Not only this, fans were of the view that the event looked nothing like a fundraiser for Palestinian people, but rather a self-promotion event for Mahira Khan, where she was dancing to music beats, being presented with her paintings, and answering questions related to her projects and co-stars. One wrote, “Does anyone know she promotes Israeli brand L’Oréal and was also recently in a Pepsi ad?” One taunted, “Is she dancing for Gaza? Is this going to solve the problems being faced by people in Gaza?” Another wrote, “Where is the sympathy? Where are the emotions for Gaza people? This event has nothing to do with Gaza.” Read the comments here:

Muhammad Ahmed is a seasoned Pakistani artist known for his excellent acting and writing skills. His notable dramas include Sabaat, Ehd-e-Wafa, Kuch Ankahi, Sunn Mere Dil, Aye Ishq-e-Junoon, Aulad, Hum Tum, Judwaa, Mere Paas Tum Ho, and Pardes, among others. He has also written dramas like Kuch Ankahi, Tum Se Kehna Tha, and the Barat series. Currently, he is appearing in the hit Pakistani drama serial Doctor Bahu, and he was also praised for his performance in Maa.
Recently, Muhammad Ahmed appeared on Sheeba Khan’s podcast Dareecha, where he opened up about the humiliation he faced at the hands of a top Pakistani actor.
Talking emotionally about the incident, Muhammad Ahmed said, “Actors show their true colours in private meetings, as I have experienced multiple times. Most recently, I remained calm when I was bullied because I know everyone has mobile phones, and they can record and post videos online with captions like, ‘See the reality of Muhammad Ahmed.’ So, there is this guy who bullied me frequently, but before coming to that, I want to tell you that I know I am bald, tanned, and short. I know this reality and often make fun of it myself, but what if you are told this by an actor who is 40 years younger than you? This actor has a habit of talking uselessly. He said, ‘Oh Muhammad Ahmad, you are carrying a leather bag with you, it’s pure leather.’ He was shouting in front of everyone so that people would notice him because he was doing the lead role. Then he again said, ‘This man, Muhammad Ahmed, rated my acting four or five years ago and judged my future on the basis of it, whether I would survive in the industry or not,’ which is true because I had told the producer that this guy is good, and yes, that drama became a hit.”
He further added, “That man became whatever he is today, and then I again got a series with him. Since I was already aware of his attitude, I expressed my concerns to the producer, who said that he had become civilised now. However, he showed his true class by saying, ‘I don’t know why people cast Muhammad Ahmed. He acts the same and has the same hairstyle.’ I didn’t react because I had previously wasted my energy with Hira Mani, so I stayed quiet. Then he took a fan from a female actor, placed it over my head like a blow-dryer, and shouted, ‘Look, I am making his hairstyle.’ I didn’t react because I didn’t want to stoop to his level. Also, I didn’t know who might have a camera in hand. I was humiliated, I completed my work and came home. I thought, ‘Am I that weak that I should be humiliated by an actor who joined the industry only eight years ago?’ I didn’t say anything because the producers were so respectful. I maintained my calm because of my team. Nowadays, no one takes a stand for anyone.”
Humsafar was a blockbuster Pakistani drama serial that aired in late 2011. It garnered a massive TRP of nearly 13.9. The episodes received millions of views on YouTube and the drama was equally popular in India. Viewers loved the intense on-screen chemistry between Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan. The drama was written by Farhat Ishtiaq and produced by Momina Duraid. Its OST, sung by Qurat-ul-Ain Balouch, became an all-time hit. The drama was directed by Sarmad Khoosat, who did complete justice to the project. However, surprisingly, he was not the first choice to direct Humsafar.
Recently, renowned director Saifee Hassan revealed that Sarmad Khoosat was not the original choice for the show.
In a podcast with Ghania Siddiqui for Bunyad, Saifee Hassan said, “It often happens that a director has to refuse a project because of prior work commitments. The same happened with the drama serial Humsafar. Aabis Raza was originally supposed to direct Humsafar, but he couldn’t complete his ongoing project due to certain reasons. After that, Humsafar went to Sarmad Khoosat because Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan had already given their dates. Just a week before the shoot, Sarmad Khoosat joined the team, quickly read the script, and then the shooting began. The drama went on to become a blockbuster.” Watch here:
Aabis Raza, who was the first choice, is known for directing hits like Kankar, Jalan, Khudparast and Teri Raza.

Aap Ki Izzat is a phenomenal new Pakistani drama that is gaining more hype and widespread critical and public acclaim with each passing episode. So far, Hum TV has aired four episodes, which have amassed around 11 million views. The drama has also received remarkable TRP ratings. Aap Ki Izzat is written by the acclaimed Pakistani writer Umera Ahmed, produced by Nina Kashif and Momina Duraid, and directed by Saifee Hassan.

Fans are loving the cast, with many saying that all the actors are nailing their roles through their exceptional performances, especially Urwa Hocane and Ahsan Khan. However, did you know that the two lead stars were not the only choices for the series? Several other actors were also considered by the makers before the final casting.
According to media critic Dr Aijaz Waris, Urwa Hocane, Sarah Khan, Mahira Khan, Saba Qamar, and Sanam Baloch were all considered for the female lead in Aap Ki Izzat. Mahira Khan reportedly declined the role as she was working on Mitti De Baway, while Saba Qamar had prior project commitments. Sarah Khan later became unavailable after getting pregnant, which ultimately led to Urwa Hocane being cast. He further revealed that Ahsan Khan was always the makers’ first choice for the male lead. However, they had also considered Shaan Shahid and Fawad Khan before ultimately sticking with Ahsan Khan. Watch the video here:
Sanam Baloch was also considered for Bina’s character:
Viewers of Aap Ki Izzat believe that Urwa Hocane and Ahsan Khan have delivered such outstanding performances that they can no longer imagine anyone else in these roles. However, one fan felt that the makers should have approached Sanam Baloch at least once before finalising the cast.

Aap Ki Izzat is a Pakistani drama that recently started airing on Hum TV and has since been garnering widespread critical and public acclaim. So far, Hum TV has aired three episodes, which have amassed around 10 million views. The drama has also received remarkable TRP ratings. It is written by Umera Ahmed, produced by Nina Kashif and Momina Duraid, and directed by Saifee Hassan. The cast features Ahsan Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Urwa Hocane, Sania Saeed, and Nauman Masood.
Aap Ki Izzat is receiving glowing reviews from both viewers and critics. Recently, Kya Drama Hai judges Nadia Khan, Marina Khan, and Atiqa Odho praised the drama’s remarkable performances and emotionally touching storyline. However, Atiqa Odho and Marina Khan said they were not convinced by Sania Saeed playing a grandmother in the show.
Talking about Sania Saeed’s miscasting in Aap Ki Izzat, Atiqa Odho said, “I am a bit sceptical about Sania playing a grandmother because I find it difficult to accept if it’s given to me. Sania and I started our careers together in Sitara Aur Mehrunnisa, so when I see her playing such an elderly character, I think, ‘Oh my God, why is she playing this old role? She has become a grandmother at such a young age.’ Sania has played the role beautifully, though. But I feel like we girls girls are becoming old now.”
Marina Khan also added, “Nauman Masood and Sania are of the same age. I couldn’t digest Sania in such an old-age character, especially when actors of her own age are playing younger roles. Nauman Masood, in particular, was shown as younger than her. There is no doubt that she is a tremendous actor and is playing the role perfectly, but they should have cast much younger actors opposite her.”
Doctor Bahu was a social issue based drama starring Kubra Khan and Shuja Asad in lead roles. The drama has touched upon many things and we have seen the marriage of Sania and Salman growing through the years. Sania is not who she was anymore and this is the reality of many educated women we know in our society.
Sania is pregnant and she has left her residency. She has done everything to make Salman happy in Doctor Bahu but he just cannot be happy. He has converted her into a shell of who she was in reality. And he is controlling her like Shahnawaz used to control Farheen. Fans know what they want in the finale and they are making their wishes known.
This is how Salman is treating his heavily pregnant wife in the drama:
Fans want Sania to get back her freedom and leave Salman in the upcoming finale episode. One fan wrote, “Salman is so toxic. Just leave him.” Another added, “Salman is just another Shahnawaz. Nothing more.” One said, “Sania needs to get rid of Salman. Continue her career and raise her child with Mina.” This is what people want to see:

She added that Momina Iqbal has been like a parent to her after their own parents. Momina has always been here for her and thus she wanted that Momina gets the best man ever.

Their union brought her immense happiness and she always prays for her sister’s well-being.
This is what Rimsha Iqbal lovingly revealed about sister Momina Iqbal:
Aap Ki Izzat is a new show airing on Hum TV. Written by Umera Ahmed and directed by Saife Hassan, the story has found its ground in only 3 episodes. Urwa Hocane and Ahsan Khan are starring together after years and the show also marks the comeback of Urwa Hocane to dramas. Her character Beena is super relatable for women as she is facing infidelity from her husband.
Beena has realized what Tabish is doing to her in Aap Ki Izzat. She goes and speaks to her mother in law played by Sania Saeed. Her mother in law instead gaslights her and asks her to compromise when she knows her son is a cheater. Sania was very natural and she played the character of a hypocrite mother in law very well.
This is how she handled it in Aap Ki Izzat and the audience is furious by the attitude:
The internet is reacting to Sania Saeed’s character and they think she is the real villain of the show. One person wrote, “Maa Jee is a red flag.” Another said, “She knows her son is cheating and still supports him.” One went, “Urwa stole the show and Maa Jee is supporting her son who is a cheater.” This is the reaction:
Moammar Rana has been one of the biggest film stars in the country. He became a sensation from his debut and featured in some of the biggest films in the last era of the Pakistani cinema. The actor has been going through the worst time with his drunk videos going viral and him having to work in theatre as he was not receiving any offers.
Sangeeta on the other hand is a huge name in films. She is also a decorated director and she has been recently making a film titled Mukho with the government film grant. She cast Moammar Rana in the film as well and it looks like the star was exploited due to his bad time. Singer Zeeshan Rokhri who rejected the film revealed the truth in an interview with Hina Niazi.
Zeeshan Rokhri revealed that he was offered a role in the film and he quoted 1 crore rupees for 8 days work. He was then told by Sangeeta’s team that they are paying Moammar Rana only 5 lakh rupees. Zeeshan felt upset that how can they pay just 5 lakhs to a superstar. This is not how an industry can flourish.
Here is Zeeshan revealing how Sangeeta paid only peanuts to Moammar Rana:
The internet is now reacting to this situation. One said, “He has lost his stardom. He won’t be paid more.” Another added, “The kind of film this is, 5 lakh is a lot as this will be a flop.” One said, “The film is extremely outdated. No one will watch it.” This is what the internet thinks:
Dr Nabiha Ali Khan is a psychologist and media personality who got famous for her pro men advice. The media personality has now gone viral for her own personal issues. From her very public wedding to Haris Khokhar and now her very public divorce proceedings, everything has been in the news.
Dr Nabiha Ali Khan and Haris Khokhar are airing their dirty laundry in public. They are saying all the negative things and revealing very personal details. Now people are also fed up of this and Mishi Khan is the one who came forward to call this out.
Mishi Khan is a very vocal celebrity and she has criticized Dr Nabiha Ali Khan for showing off previously. She said that there are so many issues we are dealing with and Nabiha’s divorce is what has become a national issue on media. She advised Nabiha and Haris to deal with their problems privately and stop giving out information in these interviews. She said what many others wanted to say.
The internet is reacting to Mishi Khan’s statement. One person said, “You are absolutely right.” Another added, “This is so wrong to reveal personal issues on media.” One went, “Yes Nabiha and Haris have become a national issue at this point. Keep everything to yourself.” Here is the reaction:
Ali Ansari is a phenomenal Pakistani star who has established himself as a remarkable actor through hit dramas like Rang Mahal, Kaffara, Aas Paas, Naqab, Dil Tanha Tanha, Khaani, Kasa-e-Dil, and Samjhota. He recently garnered widespread praise for his standout performance as Junaid in Muamma. Nowadays, fans are also praising his performance in Bombay Tailors. Ali is happily married to talented actress Saboor Aly, and the couple enjoys a blissful married life.
Recently, Ali Ansari appeared on Maliha Rehman’s YouTube show, where he spoke about performing romantic scenes on screen.
Responding to a question about whether he feels uncomfortable performing romantic scenes, Ali Ansari said, “I don’t feel uncomfortable while performing romantic scenes with my co-actors if they are well written. However, if a scene feels weird—not in terms of romance, but because the dialogues seem off or don’t match the situation—it becomes uncomfortable to perform. Sometimes, while reading the script, we instantly know that a particular dialogue or moment isn’t really needed. We respect the writers because they add such scenes in the flow of the story, but when you’re actually shooting, you may feel that it’s a bit too much. In those situations, we improvise, make slight changes to the wording, and then it works out fine.” Here is the link to the video:

PTV is Pakistan’s oldest television network, which began its transmission in November 1964. The entertainment channel was once widely admired for its classic dramas, quality productions, and educational content. Over the decades, PTV witnessed many highs and lows as different political governments and military regimes influenced its programming and policies. During the tenures of leaders like General Ayub Khan and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, television experienced a relatively modern outlook. However, under General Zia-ul-Haq’s rule, PTV adopted a much more conservative approach. The cultural impact of that era remained so significant that many believe Pakistani television never fully returned to the level of creative freedom it once enjoyed.
Recently, a clip from the 1970s PTV play Parchaiyaan has been making the rounds on social media. The scene features both older and younger women wearing bold sarees, with sleeveless blouses that have surprised many viewers from the current generation. The vintage fashion has sparked widespread discussion online, as many Pakistanis believe such attire would be considered too bold for television today. Watch the clip here:
Social media users were quite surprised by the modern and progressive television programming of that era. One user wrote, “There was so much obscenity back then.” Another asked, “Was that really PTV? Did this actually air on television?” A third commented, “Pakistan Television was so modern at that time.” Another wrote, “PTV was quite bold and almost near to nudity back then.” Many users also appreciated how gracefully the actresses carried the sarees. One commented, “The lady in the black saree is wearing it so elegantly, even though her blouse is quite short.” Another wrote, “It was the 1970s, when Pakistan was moving towards modernism.” Read the comments:
Abu Rohan is a senior Pakistani actor best known for portraying Nikah Khuwan (marriage officiant) in Pakistani dramas. Over the years, he has appeared as a Nikah Khuwan or Maulvi Sahab in countless hit serials. Some of his most viral Nikah scenes are from blockbuster dramas like Tere Bin, Siyani, Sunn Mere Dil, and Yunhi. Abu Rohan is a successful jeweler in Karachi.
Recently, the famous drama Nikah Khuwan, Abu Rohan, gave an interview to BBC Urdu, where he spoke about his acting journey, profession, and passion for performing.
Talking to BBC Urdu, Abu Rohan said, “Around 35 years ago, a television channel invited me as a jeweler. The owners wanted me to appear on a show where I would answer viewers’ questions about gold. When I appeared on the morning show, I caught the attention of drama makers. They felt I was comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s how I started acting in television dramas. So far, I have solemnized Nikah in around 80 to 85 dramas. I also lived in Bahrain for nearly eight years, where I took part in dramas. There are scenes where fights break out during the Nikah, and I have to give different expressions. Usually, it’s a static character, but sometimes it requires proper acting. Directors and producers also cast me in other roles. I have always received appreciation from fans. Many people have invited me to officiate Nikah at their real-life weddings, but I politely refused because Nikah is a matter of religion. However, after the Nikah ceremony, I sometimes offer prayers for the couple’s happiness.”

Talking about it, Ahsan Khan said, “I think it is established that Tabish isn’t a villain, he is not a negative man but his traits are negative, and people are taking him in negative light. You will see the highs and lows of Tabish’s character in the upcoming episodes. You will see different angles of Tabish. His character will evolve in a different way. He is like a grey character; I mean he’s neither white nor black, just a normal human who commit mistakes and then realize it and repent like any other normal human being. And as we say, ‘The person who admits his mistake, should not be called out and should be given a chance like there is an Urdu saying, ‘Subha Ka bhoola Shaam KO gher aye to use Buoola nahi kehte” watch the video :

The two actors sat down with Fuchsia Magazine and spoke about their experiences with the men and women of today.
Qudsia Ali and Abbas Ashraf were expressing their opinions. Abbas said that he thinks that this complex comes in men because of parenting. Parents inculcate in their sons how they are superior. They are our inheritors and everything. Make both your sons and daughters feel equal if you want to stop your sons from becoming negative narcissists.
Here is what Abbas Ashraf said:
Qudsia Ali addressed why women behave like doormats in relationships. She said that women are deprived of parental love and when they get even a glimpse of love, they lie down and take everything. They take even a temporary love as they are extremely insecure. She also had insecurities and she has worked to overcome them.

His shows Zabt and Aik Mohabbat Aur are both hits. He spoke to Nadia Khan about his career and there were definitely a few awkward moments.
Nadia Khan asked Sachal Afzal about his marital status and if he was single. She also asked him about his co-star Zoha Tauqeer’s weight loss. She wanted to know what Zoha eats and how she has lost so much weight. Sachal gave very dignified answers to both prying questions.
Sachal said that he is not married and shut the line of such questions then and there. He also respectfully said that he does not keep an eye on Zoha’s food. He never checked what she was eating, she probably had a diet. He just keeps focus on himself and his work. He praised Zoha’s energy and enthusiasm. This is what he said:

Zanjeerain is currently the most loved drama in the Pakistani television. The show has some of the biggest stars in the cast and the show has both mystery and intrigue. But despite this big anticipation, the drama has been causing frustration in the audience.
The latest episode of Zanjeerain saw an attack on Sarbuland Khan. He was shot and came back to the haveli in secret. He calls Rabiya to the back room and asks her to remove the bullet.

Talking about it, Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi said, “I have done my preparations for Akhirah. My grave is ready in Isa Khel. It is fully prepared. If you visit me while I’m alive, I will show it to you; otherwise, you will see it yourself. We have our own family graveyard, and I have reserved a grave for myself. There are a few plots beside it—one is for my wife. I said that jokingly, but I have only booked my own grave. May Allah have mercy on us. This idea came to me after I built a farmhouse and a mosque there. After that, I thought there should also be a place for me. I have lost great friends, loved ones, family members, and my mother, so I have always thought about death. I only want a peaceful passing.” Watch here:
His statement sparked an online debate. One fan wrote, “It’s not right to build a grave, but yes, you can prepare your coffin.” Another commented, “Building a grave isn’t enough; preparing for the Hereafter is the real thing.” A social media user remarked, “His faith is strong. We are afraid of even talking about the grave.” Another wrote, “It’s better to build an old-age home instead of preparing a grave.” Read the comments here.
