Jannat Mirza has now responded to what went wrong with her ramp walk.

Pakistani celebrities largely maintain private lives, but certain people do share their activities with the world. Fame and controversies do go hand in hand. Thus, once you open your life for public consumption, the public will be making comments about your actions and choices.
A few celebrities strive to avoid being in the news for anything other than their work, while others crave the limelight and remain relevant despite facing several scandals and controversies. The year 2025 also saw many prominent figures embroiled in controversies. Here is a list of celebrities who were a part of several controversies in the year 2025:
Atiqa Odho
Atiqa Odho is a famous Pakistani celebrity who has remained in the limelight throughout the year. She has been a part of the drama industry since the PTV era, but she has recently appeared as a judge on Kya Drama Hai. Her dramas have always received love, but her statements have been the reason for constant backlash against her. She has been caught in several blips, including criticism of Ali Raza’s body hair, to her wish to appear as a heroine opposite Danish Taimoor. She has remained steadfast in her resolve and stood by all her statements, however weird that sounded.
Nadia Khan
Nadia Khan is another Pakistani actress and host who is joining the list for her statements. She has been caught with a foot in her mouth several times when she criticised different dramas on her show Kya Dra aHai. She was in a full-throttle war with actor Yasir Hussain. She recently received backlash when she harshly questioned singer Talha Anjum on her morning show. Talha maintained composure as Nadia kept attacking him.
Hania Aamir
Hania Aamir is the new-age superstar of the country. She has been trending everywhere on social media, and she is the most followed actress in the country. Her fans love her beauty and her bubbly personality. But she does remain in the news for one controversy or another. The year started when Indian fans were targeting her inclusion in an Indian Punjabi film, and as we neared the end of 2025, the news of her reconciliation with Asim Azhar was plastered all over social media. She has dropped several hints herself, but there has been no proper announcement. Meanwhile, the internet also thinks she has changed her appearance, which puts her under scrutiny.
Rajab Butt
Rajab Butt is probably the most controversial Pakistani celebrity of 2025. He is primarily a YouTuber who creates family Vlogs, but this year, he remained in the news due to his legal and personal controversies. First, he had to flee the country due to his legal cases. His name also came up in the now-famous gambling apps case. Add to that his marital woes, which were discussed extensively on social media. His past affairs were exposed while his wife was pregnant, and he was seen making weird TikTok videos with other women.
Ducky Bhai
Ducky Bhai is another Pakistani celebrity who had a tough year. While he was making his usual Vlogs, he was suddenly picked up by law enforcement agencies. The YouTuber remained in custody for over 100 days, and his story has been painful to watch. Even if he was in the wrong, the torture and abuse he had to face were unbelievable and unlawful. He was beaten, extorted for money while his family had to go through hell. He is back now, and he is trying to heal from the trauma he has faced in these past months.
Atif Aslam
Atf Aslam is hands down the biggest star of Pakistan. He is one artist who is known for his work and never for any controversies. 2025 proved to be a tough year for him as well. This year marked another war between India and Pakistan. Atif Aslam is a star who is loved on both sides of the border. He refrained from making any anti-India statement, which many other celebrities did. This brought on backlash for the star. He also went through a huge personal loss as his father passed away recently. He performed at a concert the very next day, which was not liked by many netizens.
Fawad Khan
Fawad Khan is a Pakistani celebrity who has always seen success, both in music and acting. He also worked in Bollywood till a ban came into effect on Pakistani artists. The actor had a tough year, and this was probably the first time he came under severe criticism. First, his participation in Barzakh, the series, was disliked by his fans for its LGBTQ themes. He later received criticism when he gave a “neutral” statement on the Indo-Pak war, as his Bollywood comeback film’s release was delayed. The star has also come under criticism for judging Pakistan Idol, as many youngsters were not even aware of his musical background.
Talha Anjum
Talha Anjum is another Pakistani star who has become a household name in the last few years. He rose to fame with his exceptional music, and the younger generation loves what he does on stage. He is loved not only in Pakistan, but internationally as well. He was in a huge controversy this year when he waved the Indian flag on stage. He also wore the flag on his shoulders. Talha received backlash as India has been constantly producing anti-Pakistani films and making an anti-Pakistan narrative.
Asim Azhar
Asim Azhar is a Pakistani singer with a global fan following. The year 2025 was great professionally for the star as he released his first album as well as two hit OSTs. He also performed in many cities, but his personal life became fodder for controversies. First, his engagement to ex-fiance Merub Ali broke after three years, which was a shock for everyone. Second, his rumoured patch-up with ex-girlfriend Hania Aamir is what is keeping him in the news.
Feroze Khan
Feroze Khan is a Pakistani celebrity who has a huge fan following. He also remains in the news, unfortunately, due to his personal life. This year again, he was in the news for his marriage and divorce. First, his account got “hacked” where he spoke against his now wife, Zainab.

Afzal Khan, famously known as Jan Rambo, is one of the most successful Pakistani television and film actors, who once ruled the Pakistani film industry with his iconic comedy roles. He rose to fame as Jan Rambo through the blockbuster television play Guest House. He made his mark in the industry due to his uncanny resemblance to Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone. His popular films include Chor Machay Shor, Munda Bigra Jaey, Hathi Mera Sathi, and many others. Afzal Khan, his wife Sahiba, and their sons have been settled in Karachi for around a year, and they are now actively working in television.
Recently, Afzal Khan appeared on Nadia Khan’s show Rise and Shine via Zoom, where he opened up about the cold behavior of some Karachi drama actors.
Speaking on the topic, Afzal Khan said, “Let me tell you an interesting thing, we have worked with almost everyone in Karachi, all are our friends but surprisingly no one welcomed us except for one or two. Only Asma Abbas welcomed us. Behroze Sabzwari called me personally, and Javeria Saud and Saud Qasmi, who are like family, helped us a lot—they found us a house and helped us settle. Apart from them, no one even reached out or invited us. We are people who enjoy parties and meet-ups, but here, no one is like that, so we party with Javeria and Saud.”
He further added that Sahiba had to close her salon because, when she came to Karachi, she lost her customers and there was no income. When she returned, there was no activity at the salon, so she had to close it. Here is the link to the video:
Kya Drama Hai is a popular and controversial Pakistani television show that reviews prime-time dramas. The show has been hosted by Mukarram Kaleem, Nadia Khan, Marina Khan, and Atiqa Odho are among the judges, however the judges’ panel is often replaced with other actors like Bushra Ansari, Nadia Jamil, Nadia Afgan, and Arjumand Rahim.
This week, Hina Dilpazeer, Nadia Khan, and Marina Khan were among the judges. The panel criticized the new drama Neeli Kothi, written by Saima Akram Chaudhary, directed by Anjum Shehzad, and produced by Moomal Productions.
During the show, Nadia Khan asked questions about characters’ relationships and plot details which were already addressed in the story. Nadia Khan said that she couldn’t understand Sahiba’s relationship with Usman Pirzada or when Atiqa Odho’s character got married to him. She also questioned Atiqa Odho’s character as a writer. Watch the video:
The drama viewers are bashing Nadia Khan and the panelists for their unfair criticism on Neeli Kothi. Besides this, all were of the view that judges came unprepared. One wrote, “It’s time for Nadia Khan to leave the show because she cannot understand any drama.” Another said, “Please judges, watch the drama carefully—they already explained everything in the introduction.” Another fan added, “We viewers are better than you. Each drama and each query is simple, clear, and understandable.” One commented, “For the first time, I found this show ridiculous. Such a clear story is confusing them—how can they judge a show they didn’t even watch?” Another said, “It’s clear they haven’t watched the drama. We know the answers to all these queries they’re raising.” One more fan wrote, “I can’t believe they can’t understand a basic family tree explained by the writer.” Read the comments:
Nida Yasir is a prominent Pakistani television host with a massive social media following of 2.4 million. She has been hosting ARY Digital’s morning show Good Morning Pakistan for nearly 17 years. Over the years, the show has frequently made headlines for controversial and insensitive statements, often sparking public backlash and forcing Nida Yasir to issue apologies. This pattern has continued throughout the show’s long run, with controversial moments followed by forgiveness, and the show carrying on as usual.
Recently, fans have expressed strong anger toward Nida Yasir after a few back-to-back viral incidents, including regressive remarks by Saba Faisal and comments about delivery riders discussed live on Good Morning Pakistan. Several clips from these discussions went viral on social media and sparked massive backlash. As a result, many social media users and a few digital creators are now calling for a boycott of the show and demanding that it be permanently banned.
Pakistani viewers are once again disappointed with Nida Yasir and are commenting on digital and social media platforms, calling for a boycott and a ban on Good Morning Pakistan. One fan wrote that Nida Yasir’s show needs to be banned because she is not educated enough to conduct it, adding that it is not about a morning show but about an illiterate person hosting one. Another commented that even the guests on the show are the same repeated older women who come and praise themselves. One user wrote that instead of talking to guests, Nida’s prime interest is sharing her personal life stories with her husband, Yasir. Another stated that such shows should be banned because they do not contribute anything positive to society and only promote complexes and insecurities. Many others said that Nida Yasir is illiterate and that it has now become necessary for her show to be discontinued on television.
A digital creator, Noreen Raghib, has also posted a video on her channel following the Good Morning Pakistan controversies. She stated that Nida Yasir’s show needs to be banned as soon as possible, as it offers no valuable content other than makeup, women discussing each other, dances, and other useless activities. She added that the show should be banned just like Nadia Khan’s and Shaista Lodhi’s shows were banned. Here is the link to the video:

Noor ul Hassan has been fantastic as Bukhari Sahab in Case No. 9. The evilness he has brought in his character is hard-hitting. He is trying to save his client and he can go to any lengths to do that. This time he targeted Rohit and tried to falsify his testimony. The way Noor ul Hassan has performed the character is making people question who is the real villain: Kamran or Bukhari.

I now have limited access, similar to what editors have. I can’t upload or remove videos, nor can I see information regarding earnings. I don’t have my YouTube channel anymore. They have blocked my AdSense. Those who say I made a lot of money from videos should know that I earned zero money. This channel is not mine. I have been subjected to a high level of injustice.

Aima Baig said, “I offered Fajr prayer and felt extremely vulnerable. It was a time when I was remembering my mother, and I just wanted to hug her because I had seen a few of her belongings. After Fajr, I tried to sleep, but I couldn’t because tears kept falling from my eyes. I started crying again while remembering my mom. I am the kind of person who instantly records a melody when it comes to my mind, even if my voice cracks or the recording isn’t perfect. At around 6 a.m., a few lyrics and a melody came to my mind for my mother, which I recorded. Obviously, I won’t reveal the lyrics now. I just entered the media industry when my mom got sick, I used to be at work most of the time, so, I couldn’t spend much time with her while she was bedridden. She was the one who used to send me to shows, but those were her last days.” Here is the link to the video:

All they want is a doctor, a job holder, or someone professional who is earning money. One of my friends called me from the USA and said, ‘Please, Sadia, find me a good proposal for my son. It would be even better if she is a doctor.’ I asked her why—do you want her to earn? Just find an educated woman, no matter what job she does. They want a daughter-in-law who is beautiful, rich, a doctor, and an expert in household chores. They also expect her to bring a car with her. On the other hand, girls’ families are greedy for status and position. One of my cousins got married to a girl who chose him out of greed because he is a television actor’s cousin. She wanted her husband to gain fame through me.” Here is the link to the video.

Yes, it didn’t have massive views on digital media, but it was loved by TV audiences because of Kashif Nisar. The other one got millions and millions of views. When they offered it to me, I initially tried to refuse due to the weak character, but they insisted, saying, ‘Please do this. If you do it, it will be a hit.’ I don’t know but when I am on set I know it will be a hit.

They met after a decade on the road. Her parents were then more open to understanding her approach to life. She shared her parents who used to look down upon the working class who she work with, changed for her. They became far more accepting and they were supportive of her largely by the end of their estrangement. Sheema Kermani said that her parents also put in their effort to amend their relationship.

During the reception, she also opened up about becoming a victim of the evil eye and falling sick.
Talking to a reporter, Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan said that she became a victim of the evil eye, due to which she suffered from a severe sore throat and cold. She added, “I have managed to sit here at my reception because of my mother-in-law, who tried to remove the evil eye through recitations. I did all the preparations on my own, which is why I felt extremely tired. I have been managing all my professional commitments, and there has been no gap in my work even after the nikah. All our organizational work will continue smoothly after the wedding. We also plan to organize a few grand professional events. Besides this, I remain quite active on social and digital media regarding my work.”
Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan’s husband said, “Those who are jealous of us should drown in water. They cannot digest their food without criticizing us. Basically, we are the reason they earn their bread and butter; they make money by speaking against us. Let them do whatever they are doing—we want their bread and butter to keep running.”
However, Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan disagreed with her husband, Haris Khokhar, and stated that she is soon going to take legal action against those who speak against her.
Ducky Bhai is one of Pakistan’s most-followed solo YouTubers and is expected to reach the milestone of 10 million subscribers soon. In August, Ducky Bhai made headlines after being arrested for three months on allegations of promoting betting applications in his vlogs. He was granted bail at the end of November, which allegedly became possible after he paid a heavy extortion amount to the authorities. After his release, Ducky Bhai returned to YouTube and has now resumed daily vlogging.
Today, Ducky Bhai appeared on Irshad Bhatti’s podcast, where he further exposed NCCIA in detail. He also revealed how NCCIA mistreated his friends who tried to help him during his difficult time.
When Irshad Bhatti asked, “Did none of your friends come to help you despite you being a big name?” Ducky Bhai responded by explaining that many people did try to help him. He said that his friend Moeez Bhai initially tried to support his family and even visited the NCCI office when they summoned Aroob. During that visit, Aroob’s phone was confiscated, and she was subjected to investigation. After realizing the injustice being done, Moeez Bhai backed off.
He further shared that Nadeem Naniwala also came to help. While outside the NCCIA office, Nadeem’s driver was recording a video when an FIA official confiscated his phone. Ducky briefly spoke to Nadeem, who said he had arrived that day from the UK and came to see him. Nadeem was taken inside along with lawyers and made to sit in another room. Later, Ducky was informed that his friend’s phone had been seized. When Ducky was taken to Nadeem’s room, Nadeem was sent out, and officials questioned Ducky about the purpose of Nadeem’s visit, which Ducky claimed he was unaware of. As Ducky was leaving the office, he overheard officials saying that the “victim came to us himself,” and at that moment, he realized what they intended to do with Nadeem.
Ducky further added that Nadeem came to meet him after an hour with an investigating officer and lawyers, and upon their request, Nadeem was allowed to meet him. Nadeem told Ducky that they were doing efforts to send him to judicial custody but Ducky explained the reality of NCCIA. Nadeem’s phone was kept, there was no FIR on him but they opened an inquiry against him simply because he had just come to meet Ducky. Nadeem narrowly escaped serious trouble. Ducky emphasized that despite all the hurdles, people did try their best to help him.
Ducky Bhai’s brother also added that Areeb Pervaiz, the husband of Iqra Kanwal, tried to help Ducky as well. He also said that they didn’t want to burden Areeb and Iqra because they were expecting their baby but despite that Areeb held meetings with several influential individuals who had links with generals, but he was also scammed. Areeb reportedly gave an iPhone to unknown individuals in hopes of securing Ducky’s release. Later, through an investigation conducted by Big Brother, it was revealed that these individuals were exploiting Areeb under the pretext of helping with Ducky’s release. Ducky Bhai further added that his family was also under threat.
Speaking about the lack of transparency at the NCCI office, Ducky Bhai questioned why there were no cameras installed there. He stated that it was not surprising, as torture allegedly takes place inside. He said that audio and video cameras should be installed in all areas. He pointed out that when people came to meet him at the additional office, there were no cameras. The inquiry room, deputy director’s room, kitchen, and forensic lab also had no cameras. He alleged that they don’t install cameras because injustices occur there, extortion is taken, and forced statements are recorded. Ducky Bhai urged the authorities to install audio and video cameras in all investigation rooms so that higher officials can monitor these activities, stating that even private homes have cameras, so investigation offices should certainly be under scrutiny as well.

Zhalay Sarhadi is a renowned Pakistani television and film actress who has worked in numerous hit television dramas, including Mere Damad, Uraan, Madiha Maliha, Judwaa, Aks, Digest Writer, and Rang Laaga, among others. Recently, she earned praise for her performance in the drama series Shirin Farhad. Zhalay has also hosted multiple reality shows, such as Shadi Online on Geo TV. She is married to Amir Anees, and together they have an adorable grown-up daughter. Zhalay is one of the actors who works occasionally.
Recently, Zhalay Sarhadi appeared on Gup Shab, hosted by Vasay Chaudhary. During the show, she revealed the reality behind actors receiving back-to-back awards.
Talking about it, Zhalay Sarhadi said, “I have learned one thing: whatever you want, you should ask for it, even if it is praise or appreciation. If people can beg for awards, anything can be obtained this way. Actors even pay money for awards. I don’t have awards because I can’t pay for them. I have heard that most awards are sold and then distributed, which is why such awards lack credibility. Award shows should be conducted collectively; it is not credible to give awards only to your own channel. There was also an incident where an actor was nominated, but the award was given to someone else simply because the nominee did not attend.” Here is the link to the video:
Malkoo is a famous Pakistani Punjabi singer known for his folk and pop songs. Some of his hit tracks include Kala Jora, Kala Chashma, Majburi, Rul Teh Gaey Aan, and others. He recently gained massive popularity after singing the song Nak Da Koka about former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. One of Malkoo’s most successful platforms is his digital YouTube channel, where his songs receive millions of views. Besides this, he is also known for conducting concerts worldwide.
Recently, Malkoo appeared on GNN’s program Dais Book. During the show, he revealed that Fiza Ali had cleverly taken his song and released it under her own name.
Talking about the incident, Malkoo said, “There was a song that was my wife’s favorite, and injustice was done to that song. I made the song with Fiza Ali—yes, the same Fiza Ali who speaks a lot on TV. It was my wife’s favorite. She committed complete injustice to my song. She took the song from me for listening but then released it on her own. People make very big claims on TV, but they turn out to be frauds. Fiza became a hit singer because of us, her solos are always flop. Who is hit in Punjabi singing? Malkoo is a hit, Mazhar Rahi is a hit, Zeeshan Rokhri is a hit. She took my song and released it, and even today my wife feels pain over that song which Fiza took unfairly.” Here is the link to the video:
It is pertinent to mention that Fiza Ali has sung many Punjabi hit songs with Mazhar Rahi, Malkoo and Zeeshan Rokhri which earned views in millions on YouTube.

Hadiqa Kiani is one of the biggest superstars of Pakistan. She is loved for her music as well as acting. She has always shined whenever she appeared on screen. Fans have been humming her tunes for two decades now and she hit it out of the park when she made her acting debut with Raqeeb Se. The star was a guest on Mazaq Raat and spoke about a very peculiar habit of hers.
Hadiqa revealed that she has only ever cried when she acted in dramas. She never cries in real life and she shared a heartbreaking reason behind it. Her late mother was bedridden for 17 years before she passed away and this is why she became so strong.
Hadiqa Kiani revealed that when you have to raise your mother like your daughter then you have to become brave. You cannot breakdown. Thus she remained as a pillar of strength for her family and never cried when her mother was alive. Dramas gave her an opportunity for catharsis where she was able to shed tears.
Ali Rehman Khan is a talented artist and one star who people love. He has always been liked for his striking looks and amazing screen presence. He has played straight forward, hero characters but he has also shown his range with a character like Guru, where he played an intersex individual’s parenting journey in Pakistan. He is single and his fans are always waiting for him to announce something about his relationship status.
Recently, fans speculated that the actor was all set to get hitched to rumoured girlfriend and fitness trainer Nusrat Hidayatullah. They were seen together on his birthday but Ali never confirmed the rumours. He has once again spoken about his marriage possibility on Very Filmy.
Ali Rehman Khan said that he is ready for marriage. He wants to get married and it is a beautiful relationship. Once he finds a girl, he will tie the knot. He added that he likes marriage but he never said that he was getting married any time soon.
Pamaal is a drama that is being loved for the realism it has brought in a Pakistani marriage on screens. Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar as Malika and Raza are brilliant. Their portrayals are being applauded by everyone. Fans love the show but it has brought a lot of pain to fans as well. They have felt connected to the characters and Raza’s pain and last moments brought back memories of their own loss for many.
Usman Mukhtar has hit it out of the park as Raza. This is probably his career best performance and deserves awards. The way he has played a man with cancer is also impeccable. His portrayal is close to reality. A man who is about to lose his life and he is worried for his daughter and wife. He prays and he confides in his mother-in-law who is like his mother. The way he shares his last thoughts with his wife and he takes his last breath in her lap. This episode of Pamaal was a roller coaster of emotions and left fans in tears.
This is what went down:
Fans are crying their eyes out as Raza takes his last breath. One user wrote, “This is Usman Mukhtar’s best performance and hats off to his makeup artist as well.” Another added, “Never heard an end of life conversation between a husband and wife with so much sensitivity.” One said, “My eyes are red. I cried so much.” Here is the emotional feedback:
Yasir Nawaz just came out with statements in support of his wife Nida. Nida Yasir was in the news as she gave derogatory remarks against food delivery riders. She later apologized when she received a huge public backlash. Fiza Ali was also amongst people who did not agree with Nida’s statement regarding delivery riders.
Fiza Ali had criticized Nida Yasir as she said that food delivery riders are very hardworking people. If we give them a little tip, it would not affect anyone. Thus, such remarks that they swindle money should not have been given. Yasir Nawaz came out in support of his wife and said that Fiza is reasonlessly going after his wife.
Fiza Ali is once again hitting back at Yasir Nawaz. She said that a real man will never attack a woman. The argument was between her and Nida, two women. Thus, a man entering into it is completely wrong and he cannot be called a real man. She added that she is not sitting idly. She has her own job and she is focusing on it where she speaks on real life issues.
The internet is on fire after the argument is heated up. One sided with Fiza and said, “Good job Fiza.” Another sided with Yasir and wrote, “He is a real man as he is standing up for his wife.” One went, “This has gone on for too long. This discussion needs to end now.” Here is how the internet is divided:
Meri Zindagi Hai Tu is a drama that is currently on-air on ARY Digital. The show stars two big names: Hania Aamir and Bilal Abbas Khan. Despite the story being a typical boy stalking girl and her falling in love with him, the lead cast and performances of other actors have pushed it high on TRP charts and YouTube views. Dr Naveen played by newcomer Areej Tariq is one character everyone is loving. She is bubbly and she is bringing comic timing to the show.
Areej Tariq is also the brilliant artist who did Hadiqa Kiani’s realistic makeup in Raqeeb Se. She was the one behind her iconic introduction scene:
Areej Tariq has now appeared in front of the camera in Meri Zindagi Hai Tu. The talented artist is like any young girl of her age and she has shared a few glimpses from her own life with her followers. Here are some beautiful clicks of the young star:
Saba Faisal is a versatile television actor known for her roles in dramas such as Humsafar, Durr-e-Shehwar, Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai, Pyare Afzal, Ishq Tamasha, Baaghi, Ghissi Pitti Mohabbat, Samjhota, and Zara Yaad Ker. She recently gained further recognition for her performance in ARY Digital’s drama series Main Manto Nahi Hoon. Saba Faisal has a well-settled family, with all her children happily married and raising their own kids. She is quite vocal about family values and often shares advice on obedience and responsibilities for newly married women. One of her recent statements on this topic has sparked debate as well to which she has responded.
Saba Faisal shared a video on her Instagram in which she explained her viral statements that she made in Good Morning Pakistan.
Talking about it, Saba Faisal said, “Today, I want to talk to you about two things: Goonga Behra and a daughter-in-law wearing clothes according to her mother-in-law’s choice. When I said that a newlywed girl should become goonga aur behra (deaf and mute), I actually meant that she should be forgiving. I think forgiveness was the appropriate word, which I used incorrectly. Also, this does not apply only to the daughter-in-law; the same goes for the other party as well. If both parties are forgiving, things become quite manageable.”
Regarding a daughter-in-law wearing clothes of her own choice, “I said that what some mothers-in-law do is give money to the girl so that she can buy clothes herself. However, this is not something I personally agree with, because I would like to go shopping for my daughter-in-law and want her to wear dresses of my choice so that she reflects us. I said this because a girl comes from a completely different background, and her lifestyle and ways of living may be different from yours. Every woman wants to see the reflection of her family in her daughter-in-law. This does not mean that I am saying you should impose everything on your daughter-in-law. I am sorry if any of you felt bad, because you are my family, and I wanted to clarify this with you.” Here is the link to the video:
Pakistani dramas are renowned for their slow-burning romance and heartwarming love stories, in addition to the family drama and conflicts that are often featured in the scripts. The chemistry between the main leads can make or break a drama. Sometimes, mediocre scripts work because viewers start to love the lead pair. The year 2025 also brought some great on-screen pairings for Pakistani dramas. Fans loved these jodis, and some were even shipped off-screen, such was their pull.
Here is a list of the best on-screen couples in Pakistani dramas 2025:
Ahad Raza Mir & Dananeer Mobeen (Meem Se Mohabbat)
Ahad Raza Mir and Dananeer Mobeen starred in one of the most successful dramas of the year 2025, Meem Se Mohabbat. Their pairing did not initially garner much attention, as there was a significant age difference between the two actors. Their characters also reflect this, and fans slowly began to love the duo. Their pairing as Talha and Roshi became such a big hit with fans that they want them to get married in real life as well.
Ali Raza & Anmol Baloch
Ali Raza and Anmol Baloch starred in the Pakistani drama Iqtidar. Iqtidar was the dark horse for Green TV as Anmol and Ali were working together for the first time, and Ali is a relatively new actor. However, the duo created magic on screen, and fans went gaga over Shahnawaz Shah and Mehrunissa’s fiery chemistry. Every scene was being shared on social media, and fans were constantly making reels. Ali and Anmol are hands down another favourite television couple now, and their fans would love to see them again in a show.
Arsalan Naseer & Sidra Niazi
Arsalan Naseer and Sidra Niazi were the second lead couple in the refreshing Pakistani drama Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi. They also came together for the very first time, and fans loved to watch them. Sidra Niazi and Asalan Naseer not only brought sweet romance but also comic timing to television. They were endearing to watch, and thus they ended up becoming one of the best on-screen couples of 2025.
Danish Taimoor & Sarah Khan
Sher was one of the most loved Pakistani dramas of the year. The show brought two superstars, Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, together for the first time. They really brought star power and great chemistry to the show. Fans used to wait every week to watch how love would develop and progress between Sher and Dr Fajar. The characters they played were both strong, and they complemented each other well in every scene.
Deepak Perwani & Tazeen Hussain
Deepak Perwani & Tazeen Hussain have collaborated on two Pakistani dramas. No one can forget the iconic rivalry they had in Qarz e Jaan, but they just flipped it at 180 degrees with their appearance in Jama Taqseem. They have probably one of the best chemistries on the sow where there are multiple couples. The way they respect and cherish each other is being idolised by viewers. Both actors have done an amazing job in bringing a beautiful balance between showing the responsibilities of a parent while maintaining their own relationship.
Humayun Saeed & Sanam Saeed
Humayun Saeed and Sanam Saeed shared the screen first time in the big-budget Pakistani drama, Main Manto Nahi Hoon. But “we” failed to protect this couple from “the writer”. Manto and Miss Maria were two characters who everyone wanted to end up together. In a show which ended on a really bad note, this was one couple which received love throughout. But the writer decided to pitch Manto with Mehmal, and this “beautiful” couple did not get proper closure.
Javed Sheikh & Beo Zafar
Javed Sheikh and Beo Zafar make another older couple from the Pakistani drama Jama Taqseem. A show where all the youngsters are borderline toxic, these two grandparents have one of the best chemistries. Although they were unable to create an environment of peace and love for their sons, they are very supportive and loving towards each other. The two senior actors definitely deserve a spot on the list.
Nouman Masood & Nadia Afgan
Nouman Masood and Nadia Afgan starred together in the Pakistani drama Tan Man Neelo Neel. In a very heavy show, these two actors showed how, even at an older age, people crave romance and love. The way Nadia was shown so much in love with her husband, played by Nouman, while Nouman’s character was breaking under guilt but still had love for his wife, was beautiful. They formed one of the best on-screen couples of 2025.
Samar Jafri & Aina Asif
In the new stars of Pakistani dramas, Samar Jafri and Aina Asif are two names who received love when they appeared together in Mayi Ri. The young stars collaborated again in Parwarish, and fans loved them both again. They are very young, but their talent is unmatched. Samar and Aina, as Wali and Maya, were a treat to watch. Though the closeness of their characters received backlash in the beginning, they were able to win everyone in the end.
Wahaj Ali & Sehar Khan
Wahaj Ali and Sehar Khan are another new couple in Pakistani dramas. They starred together in Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi as the television’s first ever Jinn-Human couple. They were funny and sweet to watch together. The two stars coming together brought another great pairing, which fans would like to see again.

Recently, Tipu Sharif appeared on Madeha Naqvi’s morning show Subh Ka Samaa, which airs on Samaa TV. On the show, he opened up about a painful breakup.
Speaking about it, Tipu said, “I once loved a girl online, and I think Jibran knows this story as we were shooting for a drama at the time together. I had a relationship for 2.5 years, even though we didn’t meet in between. I came across a lot of lies she had told, and I feel like I wasted my peak years from 25 to 27—a very important age. That bitter experience changed me. I tried pursuing new relationships, but now I have developed trust issues. I don’t want to start new relationships, and if I think of beginning one, I deliberately distance myself. I am over-emotional and sentimental, so I fear getting into a relationship that could become a trap for me.” Here is the link to the video:
