Those Pakistani actors who have worked hard for all these years to make a name for themselves surely try their best to live up to their reputation. Yet, there are times when they make certain choices that baffle their viewers. When these actors choose substandard dramas to work in, their fans are left wondering why they chose such a script. Some of these actors have confessed in interviews that they do certain dramas just for fun. Perhaps that is why their choices sometimes are not at par with the status they enjoy in the industry.

There are other actors who have never really ‘explained’ why they chose to be part of some of the worst dramas we have seen on television. When an actor works in a project that becomes increasingly popular and which shows his diversity as a performer, the viewers automatically have more expectations. Therefore, when such actors choose to work in projects which have the most shoddy scripts the viewers do not know what to expect from them in the future.

Here are some of the top Pakistani actors who chose to be part of some of the worst dramas we have seen on television.

[lwptoc]

Ahsan Khan – (Bandhay Ek Dour Se)

Ahsan Khan makes his fans wait for long before he decides to make an appearance on television. This clearly suggests that he is being really ‘choosy’. He played his characters remarkably well in dramas such as Udaari and even Aangan in the recent past. When Ahsan Khan announced that he was going to play the lead in one of the upcoming dramas, his fans were ecstatic. When the promos of Bandhay Ek Dour Se started airing, it looked like another one of those typical dramas from Geo. However, the viewers had faith in the leading cast and also the writer. This faith was completely shattered right from the first episode. Ahsan Khan chose to play a typical character after so long and he looked like a complete misfit in it.

Not only is Ahsan’s character in Bandhay Ek Dour Se typical but it is getting more confusing and annoying with every passing episode. The pace of the drama is slow, apart from Ahsan Khan, Hina Altaf’s character is another one of those negative characters we have seen on screen a million times before. Ahsan Khan’s fans expected better from him than to choose a character like this one to play in a drama which overall as well doesn’t offer a great deal.

Ayeza Khan (Shehrnaz)

Ayeza Khan became more popular than ever after Pyare Afzal went on air. Just when her fans were dying to see her on-screen again, she got married and disappeared from television screens for a while. When she made a comeback, the viewers were ecstatic. The play she made a comeback with however proved to be the biggest disappointment ever.

The viewers who were waiting to see Ayeza Khan in a powerful role were shocked to see her play a role that made no sense. Shehrnaz was Danish Taimoor’s own production therefore it is easy to guess why Ayeza Khan decided to be a part of such a substandard drama. Although Ayeza has been part of many average plays and has played enough stereotypical characters, none of the characters she has played in her career was as bad as that of Shehrnaz.

Adnan Siddiqui (Janam)

Adnan Siddiqui is a brilliant actor and he usually chooses the projects he works in wisely. Even if he chooses to play a negative character, he makes sure that the project he works in has some class. Janam was a completely different story! It was a play with the worst storyline and what made it even more cringe-worthy were Saba Qamar and Adnan Siddiqui’s cozy scenes!

Janam was definitely not the kind of drama you would expect someone like Adnan Siddiqui to work in. It is definitely the worst play he has worked in.

Affan Waheed (Mein Na Janoo)

Affan Waheed is usually seen giving his most emotional performances in the best plays. Even if he plays the role of a flawed husband, he makes sure that the drama he is a part of offers something substantial. After Affan mesmerized the viewers with his performance in the popular drama serial Do Bol, he left the viewers in shock with his poor performance in Mein Na Janoo.

Affan Waheed’s get-up (his white-washed face), his ineffective character, and most importantly his absurd acting showed that sometimes even the best of actors can make the worst choices! He definitely redeemed himself by working in Ghalati but Mein Na Janoo will always be his worse project.

Bushra Ansari (Zebaish)

Bushra Ansari has excelled in doing comedy over the years and lately has been seen playing serious roles with the utmost precision in many dramas. Although drama serial Zebaish has been a big popular hit, this drama has been popular for all the wrong reasons. None of the viewers watching the show are taking it seriously and the worst part is that even an iconic actress such as Bushra Ansari seemed to have gone overboard to the extent that it is laughable. Bushra Ansari definitely did not make the right choice by being part of this project which has been written by her as well.

Danish Taimoor – (Meherposh)

Danish Taimoor mesmerized the viewers with his performance in Deewangi. Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hei and even Mera Rab Waris. After giving such amazing performances in dramas that were entertaining, for the most part, the viewers were excited to see Danish again on television. Meherposh was a special project because this time his leading lady in the drama was his celebrity wife Ayeza Khan. An actor who managed to make his presence felt even in negative roles failed to impress the viewers in Meherposh. Although usually, Danish Taimoor’s acting is so natural, in Meherposh his performance was anything but effortless. The reason for this obviously was that the script was too weak and there was more focus on production values than anything else.

Those viewers who even appreciate the appearances of this star couple in interviews, found themselves questioning Danish and Ayeza’s choice this season. This had to be the worst comeback of a celebrity couple on television. Danish Taimoor it seems was swayed away by the production values and the budget of the drama.

Fawad Khan (Ashk and Numm)

Fawad Khan’s popularity after Hamsafar aired was unmatched. He was the most sought-after actor and his fans were desperately waiting to see more amazing dramas from him. The dramas that followed Hamsafar however were some of the biggest disasters in the history of Pakistani dramas considering they starred Fawad Khan in the lead!

Ashk had the worst storyline and the execution couldn’t have been more pathetic. No one even took the drama seriously, most people watched it for Fawad Khan but Fawad himself it seemed didn’t take this project seriously since his performance and character in the play were beyond disappointing. Numm was another awful drama starring Fawad in the lead since it literally made the viewers numb! A drama which promised to be about an important social issue turned out to be a joke! The viewers expected better from Fawad but the truth is that he only has a couple of good dramas to his credit.

Faysal Qureshi (Muqaddar)

Faysal Qureshi is the kind of actor who is most often the reason why viewers tune into dramas. The viewers know that even if one of his plays won’t be a popular hit, he will deliver or his character will have enough to offer to keep on coming back for more. Faysal Qureshi however made such a bad choice by playing the protagonist in the drama serial Muqaddar. Although he promoted the drama a lot, the message it sent out was so disappointing and dodgy that people were left wondering why an actor of his caliber chose to be a part of a drama which made them cringe. Playing a negative character is one thing but being part of a drama that glorified kidnapping and forced nikkah and calling it a ‘love story’ was definitely not expected from Faysal Qureshi.

Hamza Ali Abbasi (Mann Mayal)

Hamza Ali Abbasi has been really selected ever since he started his acting career. In dramas like Pyare Afzal and Alif he was seen playing meaty roles. His role in Mann Mayal however wasn’t the least bit exciting. He played the role of Salahuddin, a man who is in love with a girl he could not get married to. Their love story continues long after the love of his life gets married. Salahuddin’s character was confusing and the love story itself was more twisted than endearing.

Mann Mayal was definitely not the kind of drama Hamza Ali Abbasi should have chosen to be a part of. Not only was his character written terribly, but his acting at times was also quite disappointing as well.

Humayun Saeed (Bin Roye)

Humayun Saeed has a definite screen presence and he can make you feel for his character almost instantly. Most often he chooses to play characters that have a lot of room for performance and which are central to the story. In Bin Roye his role was nothing more than that of a caricature. Bin Roye was the only drama in Pakistani drama history that was presented on the big screen in the form of a film and on television as a serial.

There were huge expectations from this drama because of the big names attached to it. The drama turned out to be a complete train wreck. It was a weird combination of the film and the drama itself. There were so many editing mistakes, the story had absolutely no spark and Irtaza’s character played by Humayun Saeed was one of the most unappealing male leads we have seen in a drama of this stature. This was surely not the kind of role which did justice to Humayun’s standing in the industry.

Imran Abbas (Jo Tu Chahay and Thora Sa Haq)

Imran Abbas does not always choose dramas that offer something new but he does have many such dramas to his credit which were quite entertaining even though they were not grand.  Starring in dramas Jo Tu Chahay and Thora Sa Haq were the worst choices made by the actor especially because both these dramas were on air at the same time. Dramas such as these definitely make you question the reliability and credibility of an actor even if he has been around for so many years and has so many good dramas to his credit. Imran Abbas shared in an interview that now he enjoyed the kind of status in the industry which allows him to choose the kind of projects he wants without any constraints.

Even then he chose to be part of such dramas in which his characters were so disappointing. It seems that Imran Abbas just like many other actors on this list sometimes chooses to be part of dramas just because he is comfortable working with the team. Imran Abbas shared on Instagram that he regretted doing Jo Tu Chahay because he never read the script and trusted the people who offered him the project. Hopefully, from now on Imran Abbas will be more selective and will not compromise on quality.

Iqra Aziz (Jhooti)

Iqra Aziz became more popular than ever when she played the leading role in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi. Just when most of the viewers recognized her as a serious actress, Iqra Aziz signed a drama that disappointed everyone. Jhooti turned out to be another run-of-the-mill drama serial that was devoid of logic.

Iqra’s negative character in the play Jhooti was nothing like the layered character she played in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi. While Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was applauded by many, Jhooti was heavily criticized because of its ridiculous storyline.

Imran Ashraf (Kahin Deep Jalay)

Imran Ashraf’s performances in Dillagi, Alif Allah aur Insaan, and most importantly Ranjha Ranjha Kardi won him an unprecedented fan following. The viewers were only too sure that Imran was going to be really selective and wise while choosing the upcoming projects. While Inkaar turned out to be a meaningful drama, Kahin Deep Jalay was one of the worst dramas this year.

Kahin Deep Jalay had a done-to-death story, the most black and white characters which were confusing at times. Not only this Imran Ashraf’s character and acting itself shocked his fans. Everyone was left wondering why Imran chose to be part of a drama which got the ratings but lacked substance.

Kubra Khan (Andaz-e-Sitam)

Kubra Khan has usually chosen the best dramas to work in but she also made one bad choice in her career. Andaz-e-Sitam’s story was run-of-the-mill and badly executed. It was also the worst drama Kubra Khan played the lead in.

Fortunately, after this, Kubra made some really good choices and established herself as a credible actress.

Maya Ali (Sanam, Mann Mayal and Zid)

Maya Ali has been part of some of the best Pakistani dramas but she has also made some really awful choices! More than once, she has been part of dramas and has played characters that made little sense. These characters annoyed the viewers and Maya Ali’s star power could not save the day.

Drama serials Sanam, Mann Mayal, and Zid were the worst choices made by Maya Ali over the years. All these dramas were so boring that most people had a difficult time watching them. Although Mann Mayal was a massive hit, Mannu’s character was nothing short of a joke! Sometimes it is difficult to believe that Maya made such terrible choices.

Saba Qamar (Izteraab, Janam and Kese Tum Se Kahoon)

Saba Qamar is another phenomenal actress who has made some terrible choices in the past. She confessed in an interview that she took up one of these projects because of its locations. It was like an opportunity to have a holiday with some of her colleagues who are also her friends. This project happened to be Kese Tum Se Kahoon. This was such a below-average drama that most people did not even watch it.

Izterab and Janam are two more plays that Saba Qamar was a part of which can easily be termed as the worst serials of all times! Apart from being typical, they were also cringy in many ways.

Sajal Ali (Noor-ul-Ain and Chup Raho)

Sajal Ali’s brilliant acting skills have impressed many but just like all the awesome actors in this list, she has also made certain choices which were not very wise. Noor-ul-Ain and Chup Raho were two such dramas that were simply terrible. The play Noor-ul-Ain was not only a complete copy of a Bollywood film but it was the most badly executed drama in which Sajal has worked in her entire career.

Chup Raho was meant to be a drama that focused on an important social issue but it turned out to be a joke. The villain was given more screen time than any other character and Rameen (Sajal’s character) did one unreasonable thing after the other. These two dramas were the worst choices made by Sajal.

Sania Saeed (Zard Mausam and Meherposh)

Sania Saeed is the kind of actor who can make every character she plays come alive on screen effortlessly. Most often viewers tune in to her dramas because they are so sure that if she is part of a drama it will definitely be worth watching. Even a great star like Sania has made some choices that can easily be termed as the worst.

Sania Saeed’s drama Zard Mausam did not do justice to her great acting skills. Similarly, Mehrposh is another drama that is currently on air in which Sania’s character and her acting are not the least bit impressive. Certainly, only a good script can bring out the best in an actor. The viewers do not expect Sania Saeed to settle for such average scripts.

Sanam Jung (Mein Na Janoo)

Sanam Jung has worked in only a few dramas but each one of these dramas had something or the other to offer. Even those dramas which had somewhat simple storylines were definitely not the worst. Sanam was doing great in the field of acting when she decided to start hosting morning shows.

When Sanam Jung decided to make a comeback to television, her fans were really excited. They were expecting Sanam to play a character like the one she played in Dil-e-Muztar and Mere Humdum Mere Dost – simple yet appealing. On the contrary, what the viewers got to watch on screen was one of the worst and annoying becharis this year. Not only this, but Sanam Jung’s acting was also so terrible that most of the viewers probably won’t even be tuning in to her next drama!

Sanam Saeed (Deedan and Kadurat)

The actress who got fame from dramas like Daam, Mera Naseeb, Shuk, Zindagi Gulzar Hei, Talkhiyan, and Diyar-e-Dil chose to work in some of the most awful dramas for some reason. Even though Sanam Saeed really enjoyed working in Deedan and she also shared that it was challenging shooting in those locations yet it was one of the worst dramas of recent times.

Kadurat was another drama in which Sanam Saeed played the most ridiculous negative character. It had the weakest script and someone like Sanam Saeed should definitely not have opted to be part of such a project.

Samina Peerzada (Beqasoor)

Samina Peerzada has played a variety of characters in her entire career. She adds more grace and substance to all her dramas. She is also someone who is quite conscious of the kind of characters she plays on the screen. Yet even someone like her ended up playing a leading role in drama serial Beqasoor which was bechargi on its peak.

Samina Peerzada has always played strong female leads therefore watching her play the role of a wife who keeps on going back to her abusive husband and a mother who poisons her daughter was absurd. It just goes to show that sometimes even the best of actors can make the worst choices.

Sana Javed (Romeo Weds Heer and Dar Khuda Say)

Sana Javed’s Khaani was a success like no other. The strong character she played in the drama serial won her many fans. The viewers were expecting Sana Javed to work in more such substantial plays in the future. She did work in some quality projects after Khaani but she also made some choices that were not appreciable.

Romeo Weds Heer was a lame attempt to cash in on the success of the Khaani lead pair. The drama was neither funny nor entertaining yet it was promoted like it was the next big thing. Dar Khuda Say was another drama that replicated the story of Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hei and did so in the most meaningless way possible.

Sarah Khan (Mere Bewafa, Band Khirkiyan and Deewar-e-Shab)

Sarah Khan is another top Pakistani actress who has a massive fan following. She has often been seen working in good dramas but she has also made some really bad choices. Mere Bewafa was a drama in which she played the most mazloom wife who is abused by her husband all through the duration of the drama yet she forgives him in the end like he did nothing wrong!

In drama serial band Khirkiyan, Sarah Khan’s character and the drama itself was just as ridiculous as Mere Bewafa. Deewar-e-Shab was another recent drama in which Sarah Khan looked pretty but her character lacked depth. The drama itself went off-track a little too quickly. These were most definitely not the best choices made by Sarah Khan.

Yumna Zaidi (Aap Ki Kaneez)

Yumna Zaidi has proven her wide range as an actress in all these years. Every drama she is a part of offers something grand yet she was part of one particular drama which showed her in the most clichéd bechari role the viewers have seen on television screens. Aap Ki Kaneez was just as lame as its title. The fans were shocked to see Yumna Zaidi choosing such a terrible drama to work in.

Zahid Ahmed (Mein Na Janoo and Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida)

Zahid Ahmed is another actor who is usually really careful while choosing which dramas he wants to act in. Mein Na Janoo was a recent play, the BTS pictures of which actually excited the viewers. Zahid informed his fans that he was going to play the character of a blind man in the play. The viewers were excited and looking forward to what he had in store.

Once the drama aired, not only were the viewers disappointed but Zahid also apologized for being part of such a project. His current drama Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida is not just a copy of the Bollywood film “Judai” but his role and performance is just as disappointing as it was in Mein Na Janoo. Zahid’s fans definitely did not expect him to choose such dramas to work in. After apologizing to his fans for the disaster that was Mein Na Janoo, he has been seen giving explanations for being a part of Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida.

There are so many people in this country who would love to be actors yet they have no idea where to start from. Many of the top Pakistani actresses did not plan to start a career in showbiz and there are others who always knew that they wanted to an actress. It is definitely impressive how far these actresses have come after years of hard work. Even though they have no relatives in the industry who could have helped them out, they were lucky enough to get some good mentors. Entering the showbiz industry is not easy nowadays since there is so much competition but it is even more difficult to retain a reputable position in the industry. That obviously entails talent, hard work, and dedication.

Here is how the top Pakistani actresses started their showbiz journey.

[lwptoc]

Saba Qamar

Saba Qamar landed in the field of acting purely by chance. She went with her mother’s friend to watch the shooting of a Pakistan Day special drama. As it turned out, the heroine failed to make it to the shooting. That is when the director asked her to perform the leading role. Saba read the lines given to her and was surprised that performing came effortlessly to her. Everyone in the room clapped when she delivered her first few dialogues and gradually she realized that this is what she was meant to do. She belongs to a Syed family in which it was strictly forbidden for girls to work in showbiz. When she decided to take this step, she faced a lot of opposition from her family. She started working in 2004 and she made sure that she proved to everyone that showbiz was a decent profession.

Mahira Khan

Mahira Khan started her showbiz career as a VJ when she was offered the chance to do so while she was still attending college. Mahira always wanted to be an actor but she was not offered an acting project at the beginning of her career. When she got her big break even then she did not realize just how demanding acting was. She was blessed with some great mentors and with a lot of hard work she managed to make it big in the industry.

Hania Aamir

Hania Aamir is the most sought-after actress in Pakistan right now. She was never even planning to start a career in showbiz when she got a call to do a supporting role in the film Janaan. Hania was discovered through tik tok and once she started acting she realized it came so naturally to her. When she performed for the first time, the portrayal came so effortlessly, and later on, she got so many other offers for dramas and films that she could not say no to such wonderful opportunities. Hania has definitely been really lucky in this regard and she has obviously worked hard to get where she is today. She enjoys her work and even though she never realized it, she was definitely born to be an actor.

Kinza Hashmi

Kinza Hashmi is also one of those young actresses who started her career in showbiz when she was only 16 years old. She always wanted to be a singer and never thought that she will end up being an actress someday. She was discovered by a director when she was walking on the ramp and even then she was really sure that she couldn’t act. Once she started acting, she came across such mentors who taught her so much, and now she enjoys acting so much that sometimes she stays on the set long after her work is done.

Ayeza Khan

Ayeza Khan was a tomboy while growing up but once she started realizing that she was a girl who could dress up and pose for the camera, her personality changed altogether. As a child, she was on the cover of one of the most popular children’s magazine at the time. When she was in 8th grade she participated in a beauty contest, Akif Illyas did her makeover at that time and told her she looked like the actress Reema. This was the first time that Ayeza got professional make-up done and was in the limelight. Her actual career in showbiz started in 2007 when she was given the opportunity to star in a television commercial next to Reema Khan, someone she had always idealized. That is where the journey started and Ayeza Khan made sure she worked hard from there on that is why she got this far.

Yumna Zaidi

Yumna Zaidi is recognized as one of the most versatile and powerful actresses of the Pakistani drama industry. The story of how she entered the industry and how she made it this far is really interesting. Affan Waheed was her older sister’s class fellow, he was the one who played a pivotal role in giving Yumna her big break. It was eventually Yumna’s persistence and talent which made her so successful in the field. She had never imagined that she would be so successful but she is also proud of the fact that viewers love her performance and not her look or glamour.

Iqra Aziz

Iqra Aziz has managed to make her presence felt in a short span of time. She was always fond of putting on make-up and putting up a show for her a family. Initially, she started her career with a television commercial. Although she was really eager to work in showbiz when she reached the sets of her first project she experienced stage fright and she thought she won’t be able to do it. Her older sister was a big support for her, she was the one who bucked her up and gave her the confidence she needed to carry on.

Mehwish Hayat

Mehwish Hayat started her journey in showbiz when she was only 8 years old. Her mother was a well-known drama actor at the time and she was the one who introduced her daughter to the world of showbiz. In an emotional post, Mehwish Hayat summed up her journey and acknowledged the efforts made by her mother. Her mother gave up her own career to further Mehwish’s career in showbiz. Since then, Mehwish Hayat has surely worked really hard to make such a big name for herself.

Kubra Khan

Kubra Khan actually started her career as a model from London where she was based. She got her first major break when she was asked to play a role in one of the most hit Pakistani films Na Maloom Afraad. She was a really good friend of Fatima Khan (Ahmed Ali Butt’s wife) who played a major role in helping Kubra make up her mind to work in Pakistan. After Kubra made her first appearance she got so many good offers that she just couldn’t refuse them and there was no looking back after that.

Sajal Aly

Sajal Aly is one of the biggest stars of the Pakistani drama industry yet she is also one of those actors who never really ventured into the showbiz industry because she was passionate about acting. Sajal revealed in an interview with Dawn that after her father left and got married to someone else, her mother was not able to run the finances and that is when she decided to work as a brand promotions agent in a mall. She auditioned for acting only because she was in dire need of a job and she wasn’t even accepted the first time! Who would have known that one day this young girl whose sole purpose was to support her family financially will end up being such a big star? Here are some excerpts from her interview.

Alizeh Shah

Alizeh Shah is one of the youngest Pakistani actresses yet it has been many years since she stepped into showbiz. She was only 6 years old when she did her first commercial and when she a little older, she decided she wanted to act as well. Getting permission from her parents was never an issue and her mother always accompanied her wherever she went for shooting.

Sarah Khan

Sarah Khan is another Pakistani actress who is liked by many. Like many other actresses on this list, she also did not have to struggle very hard to get her big break. Sarah Khan used to do voiceovers for television when the HUM team spotted her and cast her in the project Bari Apa. After that, she took a break for two years since she thought it required a lot of patience. Later on, however, she realized that this is what she really wanted to do.

Hira Mani

Hira Mani is one of those few actresses who entered the showbiz industry after having her children. She was offered a great opportunity to host the morning show by HUM but she left it because her son was too young. After both her children were slightly older, she decided to sign her first drama. Hira Mani rightly considers the only actress who joined the industry after having two kids and managed to make it big in it. She also gives her husband a lot of credit for supporting her throughout.

Aiman Khan & Minal Khan

Aiman Khan & Minal Khan started their showbiz careers at the same time. Their first project together was a television commercial and they went on to do commercials together. They also started working in dramas once they were a little older. Minal Khan was the first one to get an acting project and later on Aiman Khan too got many acting projects.

For Aiman and Minal being in the limelight came naturally since they started at a young age. They always had the support of their parents.

Sonya Hussyn

Sonya Hussyn is another leading actress of the Pakistani entertainment industry who landed into acting purely by chance. Sonya was always a confident young girl who used to love hosting while playing with her neighbors. When she had just started college, there were auditions being held for talk show hosts. She also participated in them but did not get a chance because she was too young. Later on, she got a call for her first acting project after the director watched her audition tape. Even then Sonya was apprehensive because she was sure that she could not act. Her father however asked her to give it a try and then there was no looking back for her! Sonya herself found out only after performing that she had a natural knack for acting.

Sonya Hussyn studied to be a physiologist and she wanted to pursue a career in the field, not knowing that she will end up making a big name in a completely different career altogether.

The stories of all these actresses prove one thing that no one really knows what the future holds for them. Sometimes we plan to do something but fate has completely different plans. Did you enjoy knowing how these actresses started their journeys from them? Share your views.

Pakistani dramas always offer variety. Most of the Pakistani dramas in recent years kept the viewers engaged and entertained. When it came to writing the script and executing these plays, the writers and directors did exceptionally well for the most part. Because of this, these dramas were popular among the masses. There were other dramas which were popular because of the star cast. All these popular dramas did great on the rating chart and for the most part, were convincing. In the end, however, the writer and the director shocked the viewers by ending these Pakistani dramas in the worst way possible. The viewers looked forward to the ending of these dramas most importantly because they left them curious and the endings were unpredictable. Once these last episodes finally aired, the endings left the viewers baffled and disappointed. There are some writers who have a strong grip on the plot right till the end and then there are others who simply fail to wrap up the story decently in the end. These dramas basically show that giving a drama a good ending is just as important as the treatment given to it overall.

Here are some of the most popular dramas of Pakistan which had the worst endings.

[lwptoc]

Mere Pass Tum Ho

Dead Man Talking 

Mere Pass Tum Ho set new records of popularity because of its dialogues, situation, direction, and writing. Some of the performances were loved by the viewers and gave the actors a new recognition. The story was bold and the situations extremely complicated. The viewers had no idea how the drama would end. Although the writer himself shared that the drama will have a tragic ending and the viewers were prepared for it but when the final episode aired, most of the viewers were astonished by the poor execution of the much-awaited finale.

Mere Pass Tum Ho’s Finale was also shown in cinemas. The hype this finale created was unmatched. Not only did the viewers cry because of the sad ending but they also laughed because this ending was anything but convincing. The writer is known for his dialogue writing but no one was expecting the writer to show a scenario in which a person who is dying would go on talking for the longest time. Also, the drama serial was more about Mehwish and Danish, the lead characters but it ended with an emotional conversation between the father and son. People were shocked to see just how badly executed Danish’s death scene was. Most of the people were expecting Danish to die but they were not expecting this scene to be carried out so carelessly and over dramatically. This resulted in complete disappointment. Mere Pass Tum Ho tops this list because people had more expectations from this finale more than any other. The makers could have made this ending emotional and impactful but the last episode was full of flaws which did not sit well with the viewers.

Ishq Zahe Naseeb

Bojhu Tu Janay! 

Ishq Zahe Naseeb was another popular Pakistani drama this year that kept the viewers engaged and entertained. Ishq Zahe Naseeb’s plot was not run-of-the-mill. It did not only highlight a personality disorder that a lot of people didn’t know much about but it also proved to be a mystery/thriller which the Pakistani viewers enjoyed watching. Right till the end, the viewers looked forward to the mysteries getting solved in the end. After dragging the drama for weeks in order to cash in on its popularity, when the makers finally decided to end it, it was the worst ending that viewers were not happy with.

The viewers tuned into this ending to find answers yet the ending did not give them the answers they were looking for, in fact, it left them even more confused. At the end of the drama, the viewers visited different forums to ask each other if they got the answers to the questions but no one could really figure out who Sameer’s mother was which was a burning question right till the end. The mystery stayed a mystery right till the end which made this the worst ending. This last episode wasn’t just meaningless but also repetitive and boring. There were many tracks in this drama and none of them got a proper ending. This last episode lacked clarity and ironically it wasn’t even engaging. The makers failed to wrap up a script that kept the viewers glued to their screen properly which enraged and disappointed the fans.

Aangan

Hajmola – For Digesting An Illogical End 

Aangan was one of the most hyped dramas of this year. It had a star cast and crew. Some of the most prominent people from the industry were attached to this serial and it was based on a novel that is considered a classic. Aangan was not even shown on YouTube which is why people made a special effort to watch the show while it went on air. For the most part, Aangan’s story was all over the place but the last few episodes were relatively better and gave hope that it might end on a decent note. The ending however was just as abrupt and disappointing as this drama as a whole.

Even the best of dramas sometimes don’t have good endings but sometimes a good, logical ending can make up for a weak storyline overall. That was most certainly not the case with Aangan. HUM obviously thought that investing in star power would ensure viewership and perhaps get them appreciation as well but viewers are not fools. The main leads Chammi and Jamil kept the viewers guessing and they did not get a proper ending in the last episode. Chammi did not ask for an explanation, everything happened too quickly, yet this was somehow supposed to be a happy ending. There was a time when it seemed like Chammi was over Jamil and right till the last episode it appeared to be that Jamil was still in love with Alia. Jamil and Chammi’s union was unconvincing to say the least. Most viewers wanted to see Chammi happy in the end but their happy moments were wrapped up too quickly. The physical closeness between the actors always suggested that this attraction was more physical. The romantic tracks in particular were handled so poorly throughout. This last episode was littered with indecent and unconvincing proposals and was a complete waste of time.

Cheekh

Writer With The Magic Wand! 

Drama serial Cheekh kept the viewers completely hooked with its murder/mystery story. The first few episodes were fast-paced and kept the viewers guessing. As the drama progressed, the scenarios and situations stopped making sense. The viewers however looked forward to a finale which would lead to a convincing conclusion to a drama that they loved but was dragged to the limit.

In the end, while the viewers got to see the leading lady Mannat fighting her case the way they wanted to see her do it right from the beginning but the way this episode was written and executed did not impress most of the viewers. Instead of showing a gradual change in Mannat’s character and unfolding certain events that led to the ultimate conclusion, everything was done haphazardly. The villain too all of a sudden was shown being remorseful and out of the blue, in the end, he was pleading to get the viewer’s sympathy. Those viewers who were truly invested in this drama were left with so many unanswered questions because of scenarios that did not make sense. The viewers waited patiently for this last episode of Cheekh but it was one of the most badly executed last episodes of the most popular recent dramas.

Inkaar

Ja Tujhe Maaf Kiya

Inkaar was a powerful drama that challenged stereotypes and addressed an issue that had never been highlighted in any drama at all. The importance of a woman’s consent was highlighted in this play and for a change, a woman stood strong right till the end. This drama was also inspired by a real-life story, the end of which was quite different from the end of the drama. Inkaar right till the second last episode emphasized the importance of the criminal getting punished. The main protagonist Hajra fought a long and hard battle to get the man who tried to kill her punished yet in the end she decided to forgive him. Inkaar’s ending basically was too rushed, it completely ruined the message the drama set out to give, and overall it was not the least bit satisfying. It all boiled down to Hajra getting validation from the public and winning in the eyes of the media. Hajra and her father once said that they could forgive Rehan but they couldn’t forgive people who killed Gullu Badshah – what happened to that?

The opening scenes of this last episode promised a powerful ending but later on the way Hajra gave her own verdict was nothing short of shocking. Throughout, the court’s proceedings were covered in detail and every single scenario was convincing but in the end, the writer totally ruined the experience for the viewers. Hajra was quite content with her decision because she was convinced that Rehan Chaudhry did not need to go to prison but he needed the right guidance from his mother in order to ‘mend his ways’. Since this was Hajra’s decision, one she had taken after the court gave its own therefore everyone associated with her was quite happy with it and even the media portrayed Hajra as the real hero. The role Shayan’s father played was definitely pleasing but wasn’t he the one who got Gullu Badshah killed? Basically, there was no point of showing such a long legal battle if Hajra was going to forgive the criminals in the end. This was definitely one of the worst endings of Pakistani dramas in recent times.

Mere Bewafa

Terhra Hei Par Mera Hei

Mere Bewafa had a commercial storyline which appealed to the viewers. The drama was a mega-hit. Mere Bewafa’s story revolved around a married couple. The husband was the bewafa in drama, who had an affair with his wife’s best friend and then entered into a secret nikkah with her. The entire drama revolved around how the husband mistreated his wife and the wife tried relentlessly to make her husband fall back in love with her. Agha Ali and Sarah Khan’s on-screen couple was a big hit even though the story was not a romantic one. In the entire drama, the viewers watched the husband torturing his wife and he was even responsible for her miscarriage. There was nothing positive in the husband’s character yet the wife continuously did whatever she could to win her over.

In the last few episodes the wife, Azra’s character showed some signs of change which gave the viewers hope that in the end Azra will leave her bewafa husband Shahmir and will eventually make a life on her own. There was also a male friend in Azra’s life who continuously supported her and the viewers were hoping that in the end, Azra will choose to be with him. The last episode was a big slap on the intelligence of the viewers because Azra’s bewafa husband was forgiven within seconds even though he did not formally apologize. This was the most illogical and nonsensical ending to any play at all. Everything was wrapped up in a twisted happy ending which showed that there was nothing wrong with a woman forgiving people who put her through hell over and over again. After watching Azra suffer for 20 plus weeks, all of a sudden watching Azra smile at Shahmir and accepting him back was a big led down for the viewers who expected better. Shahmir’s newborn child’s death was used as a lame excuse for the change in the behavior of the entire family and even this change was not shown properly. This was the most pathetic ending to a drama.

Ishq Tamasha

RIP Common Sense

Ishq Tamasha was another popular drama that had the worst ending. Ishq Tamasha’s story was a really complicated and at times illogical love triangle but it was a hit play nevertheless. It was a story of revenge with a few romantic tracks. It also had a good woman vs the bad woman scenario. Rushna was a negative character who breaks a man’s heart and as a result of it he dies, his brother decides to avenge his death. In order to take revenge, he gets married to Rushna so that he can make her life hell. Mirha was the good girl, the damsel in distress who was kidnapped mistakenly by Mehrab, the brother out to take revenge. The story was complicated and clichéd at times but it kept the viewers hooked.

Mehrab was the most twisted hero who could have easily passed as the villain. Mirha was the most meesni heroine we have seen in dramas since in the end, she agreed to accept Mehrab’s proposal even after he tortured his ex-wife mentally (who also happened to be Mirha’s cousin) to the point that she died. The fact that Mehrab was a negative character was completely brushed under the carpet and in the last episode, the whole drama was ended like it was a simple love story, which it most certainly wasn’t. The ending was abrupt, insensitive, and badly put together, nothing short of a tamasha which left the viewers enraged.

Balaa

Ding Dong

Balaa had the viewers glued to their television screens for the longest time. Balaa was the story of a woman who was literally a balaa. The main protagonist, the balaa, Nigar was shown as a young woman with control issues to such an extent that she could easily be considered a psychopath. Most of the episodes of the drama covered how Nigar marries a decent man and destroys his life. Nigar’s plotting, planning, and negativity were covered for 20 plus weeks. When the drama became popular, the makers decided to extend viewers’ suffering by stretching the story like bubble gum.

The viewers looked forward to Nigar’s end. The only reason viewers tuned in to the drama after some time was that they wanted to see Nigar suffering just as much as she had made other people suffer. Towards the end, however, Nigar’s husband started playing just as many mind games as her and he too turned into a balaa! As if this was not enough, only the last episode was dedicated to showing Nigar’s ‘end’ which definitely did not satisfy the viewers. Balaa’s ending and the drama as a whole were ruined because it was prolonged for no reason and in the end, the makers had no clue how to wrap up the story.

Ghar Titli Ka Par

The woman pays and the man is forgiven

Ghar Titli Ka Par ruled the television screen for many weeks. This was the story of two friends Anji and Shafaq. Anji was the clever one and Shafaq was the innocent naive one. Anji destroys Shafaq’s house by first having an affair with her husband and then kicking her out of her own house. The fact was that for the longest time Anji’s antics were the most engaging element of the drama. Although Anji was a negative character, her scenes were amusing and Sanam Chaudhry’s performance was great.

Ghar Titli Ka Par’s ending too was just as abrupt, rushed, and illogical as the rest of the dramas on the list. All of a sudden the viewers were informed that a few years had passed and in these few years somehow Shafaq had conveniently forgiven her good-for-nothing husband and Anji was shown in a pathetic state, poor and ugly! It was never shown how she went from the clever manipulating woman to one who was now completely helpless. This was the most pathetic way to conclude the show. And it was yet another drama in which the woman was punished but the man wasn’t!

Khamoshi

Arsala Ki Khamoshi

Khamoshi was one of the most-watched drama serials of recent times. This was the drama because of which Zara Noor Abbas got recognition. It was the story of Arsala, a girl who works in people’s houses to earn for her family, and her family never values her. Eventually, she finds a man who gives her the respect and love she never had and that is when people were rooting for this couple. Other than that, just like any other drama, the viewers wanted to see those people who played a major part in making life hell for Arsala, paying for their wrongdoings.

The end of Khamoshi disappointed the viewers because even though in the end Arsala and Sharam got their happy ending but this ending was shown in such a way that it was not happy enough! Arsala’s hesitance to acknowledge everything Sharam had done for her and her confusion right till the end was seen as thanklessness by many. The negative character was forgiven too easily and one of them committed suicide, which did not make the fans happy. The ending was abrupt and everything was concluded in the last episode too quickly. Arsala’s attitude in this ending episode disappointed the viewers more than anything else.

Ye Dil Mera

Ye Kya Tha?!

Ye Dil Mera had a star cast and a dream team yet this drama kept the viewers wondering. Even though overall also Ye Dil Mera did not impress the viewers but the ending was the worst one ever. The reason is that the ending did not even look like the conclusion or the continuation of the storyline the viewers had to sit through for so many weeks. The way Meer Farooq suddenly died in an accident without actually paying for everything he had done was more of a convenient ending which left the viewers enraged.

Most of the viewers wanted to see closure for Amanullah in the end yet all they got to watch was an apology! Why did the writer waste so much time showing Aman’s background, if, in the end, his sufferings were not going to be the main focus of the ending? Not only this, some of the supporting characters who were crucial to the story completely disappeared from the drama in this last episode. Not only was this ending flawed in terms of the script but the execution was even worse.

Kashf

A Rushed Tragedy 

Kashf was another popular drama serial that was loved because of its unique storyline. For weeks Kashf had the viewers’ undivided attention and there were only a few episodes that were stretched. Kashf is on this list because it ended abruptly and a little too quickly even though in between it was also stretched like many other dramas. The divorce in the last episode also disappointed the viewers. Kashf’s death was expected but the negative characters did not get a befitting ending. These tracks were covered too quickly and considering how much they had harmed Kashf, they deserved worse. This was definitely not the perfect way to end a drama which the viewers had so many expectations. Except for Kashf’s tragic end which made the viewers cry, this ending left a lot to be desired.

Sabaat

Abracadabra

Sabaat revolved around the destruction caused by the negative mindset and planning of the ‘villain’ more than anything else. Most of the drama focused on the planning done by Miraal and how this planning destroyed the lives of people she thought she owned. Anaya’s track was the only productive element of the drama. Most of the people watched this drama till the end because they wanted to watch Miraal pay for her wrongdoings in the end. Sabaat got mixed reactions from the viewers, some viewers loved it and others left watching it shortly after it went on air. The ending however was only liked by the die-hard fans. Miraal was not punished but she ‘redeemed’ herself by having a quick change of personality after an accident.

Anaya forgave Hassan and the worst part was that the writer did not give a lot of screen time to Hassan. He was not even given the opportunity to ask for forgiveness properly even that was done by Miraal. Anaya’s track also ended in the same old cliched manner, leaving no impact. This was the most underwhelming last episode which was unimpressive from the beginning till the end. The writer tried to pack too many ‘messages’ in a single episode hoping something would work for the viewers.

Muqaddar

The Weird Heroine

Muqaddar was another popular drama this year that had the worst ending. Not only did the writer glorify kidnapping and forced wedding but in the end, the man who was responsible for it all was not even held accountable. On the other hand, his first wife was somehow turned into a villain. Raima turned into a really twisted and confusing character weeks before the drama ended but in the end, the way the writer tried to make a hero out of her was even crazier. She was shown as a brave woman but in the strangest way possible with the portrait of her dead husband hanging in the background, as if she was endorsing everything he did while he was alive! Harris’ track did not even get a proper ending. After watching him suffer for so long, the viewers expected a happy ending for him but somehow that was not a priority for the writer. Muqaddar overall also had the most insensitive and carelessly written script and the ending was the final nail in the coffin!

Tera Ghum aur Hum

Mahi Disappears 

Tera Ghum aur Hum was also popular among the viewers. This drama had black and white characters therefore the viewers naturally were expecting a happy ending for the ‘good guys’ in the drama. Viewers wanted to see Mahi and Ali happy after watching them go through all the ups and downs for so many weeks. In the end, however, Sara became the main heroine of the drama just like Miraal from Sabaat after she had an accident. Mahi was completely relegated to the background as if Hajra Yamin was being punished for not being available for shooting the last few episodes. There can be no other explanation for this bad ending. Even though Mahi worked so hard on the orphanage project, it was Sara who inaugurated it. This ending was simply ridiculous and the viewers were left wondering why the writer decided to end a perfectly good drama in such a way.

Mahnoor Baloch is actually in her 50s but you can’t tell that by looking at her. Mahnoor recently got into a controversy when she posted many pictures of her eating sugary treats.

Mahnoor Baloch prefers brown rice to white rice. Yogurt and vegetables are an important part of her diet too. She has been seen promoting some multivitamins also which she feels helped her a lot in staying young and are essential for all those people who want to stay young.

Reema Khan

Reema Khan has not only kept her weight in check but she is also one of those celebrities who always look fresh and young. When you see a picture of Reema Khan from more than 10 years ago and one from recent times, you will see that she looks as young today as she did before. Reema Khan ruled the film industry for the longest time and although she has moved abroad she keeps on hosting shows. Reema Khan also follows a strict routine of healthy eating in order to ensure that she always looks great. There was never a time when Reema gained extra weight, the reason for that is that her healthy lifestyle is constant.

Reema Khan shared her healthy diet in a morning show. She said that she always eats roti made with whole wheat pure chakki atta. She also mentioned that she makes her roti herself. Reema keeps the size of her roti small. The one tip Reema swears by is that before eating anything at all if people start drinking two glasses of water then they will automatically eat less. Reema Khan also suggests that people who can’t drink tasteless water should add cucumber, lemon and mint leaves to it for some taste and it will also serve as an antioxidant.

Reema Khan’s favorite breakfast is oatmeal cereal with healthy nuts in a small quantity. This is followed by any seasonal fruit or yogurt as a snack. Reema eats a big serving of salad for lunch which has all the healthy vegetables and fruits. She also shared that she eats roti only at dinner time which is really early. These are the tips that Reema gave her fans and followers for a healthy lifestyle.

Adnan Siddiqui

Adnan Siddiqui looks as young and graceful today as he did so many years back. This is the reason why he is seen playing leading roles with young heroines even now in dramas. Adnan Siddiqui’s fitness is usually the center of discussion in the interviews he gives. He strictly believes that age is just a number especially when one is willing to work hard to stay fit.

Adnan Siddiqui shared the secret to his youthful looks in a few interviews. While giving an interview to The News, he shared, “I take care of my diet and eat good food. I have my breakfast really early, lunch around 12:30, and have my dinner around 7ish. Whatever I consume after dinner is without carbs.” Surprisingly enough, Adnan Siddiqui eats everything even nihari, paye, and sweet treats but the secret to his fitness is that he consumes all these food items in small portions.

Avoiding fizzy drinks and replacing juices with fruits is the reason why Adnan Siddiqui looks so young and fit even now. Adnan Siddiqui also does workout for at least 20 to 30 minutes every day. In the same interview he revealed, “In my opinion, weight training is the most discouraging sport. I instead prefer bodyweight exercises that include push-ups, crunches, etc.” Adnan Siddiqui also told in an interview that he loves cooking and he has the easiest cooking recipes. Drinking a lot of water and eating kalonji is another fitness technique that Adnan follows.

Nauman Ijaz

Nauman Ijaz has proved his excellence as a powerful performer over and over again. Nauman Ijaz is a wise man who knows only too well that in the world of showbiz talent alone does not get you too far but good looks and talent are the winning combinations to get all kinds of roles. While Nauman Ijaz never shies away from taking up roles much older than his age and he has no wish to be seen as a stereotypical hero on television all the time but still he knows what it takes to stay in the business as the most sought after actor. Except for getting a hair transplant done many years ago, Nauman Ijaz has never taken help from plastic surgeons to look young and fresh. Here is a picture from more than a decade ago and one from a recent interview. Nauman Ijaz’s skin and his entire face are just as fresh as it was so many years before.

In an interview, Nauman Ijaz shared that he follows a strict diet and tries to avoid unhealthy foods. Nauman Ijaz even used to do regular exercises for his eyes for years when people started noticing and appreciating his eyes. He says that it is important that we should all know what our strong points are, which features on our face can be enhanced to look even more appealing.

Nauman Ijaz belongs to the old school of thought which is why he is continuously seen criticizing social media. He also believes that social media has turned into a shortcut to fame and has demotivated people in the sense that they don’t want to work hard. Nauman Ijaz has stayed so fit by staying focused on his goals.

Hadiqa Kiani

Hadiqa Kiani has been around for several decades and in all these years her sense of style has only improved in so many ways. Hadiqa Kiani is 49 years old yet she looks as young today as she did when she joined the industry. Hadiqa Kiani is not only a wonderful singer but also a strong woman who talks about real issues very often. She is also a single mother who takes pride in bringing up her son all on her own. She has often talked about her experiences on social media and in interviews.

Hadiqa Kiani also has a proper healthy routine which includes clean eating and proper exercise under the supervision of trained professionals. Glute bridge, modified push-ups, squat thrust, and shin box are some of the exercises which Hadiqa Kiani does on regular basis in order to look great. Hadiqa Kiani also travels a lot which helps her spend quality time with her son and get a break from her work routine.

Hadiqa Kiani looks fabulous at 49. She is definitely an inspiration for all those people out there who want to look young even in their late 40s.

Sajjad Ali

Sajjad Ali is one of the best singers in the Pakistani entertainment industry. We have all been watching him on our television screens for the longest time now. He always looks young and vibrant whenever he makes an appearance in a video or on television. If we look at Sajjad Ali’s pictures from decades ago and a recent one, there is barely any difference in his looks. He still looks young and more graceful than ever.

Sajjad Ali still has the thickest hair and the perfect skin for his age. He is now passing on his legacy to the younger lot and chose not to become part of the commercial music scene. He has made appearances in Coke Studio but overall he prefers doing his own thing. He stole the show with his live performance at the HUM Awards last year.

A singer who is unmatchable, Sajjad Ali still looks great at 53. We wish he would share with us the secret to his youthful looks.

Zeba Bakhtiar

Zeba Bakhtiar is extremely beautiful, and she has also retained her youthful looks for so many years now. She is an actor, director, and producer, most importantly a woman of substance with a very clear vision. Many people might not know that Zeba Bakhtiar has type 1 diabetes, a condition that does not allow her to be careless with her diet or routine. Zeba Bakhtiar is someone who has not only stayed young but she also looks better than ever now on award shows and when she is endorsing different brands in fashion shows. Zeba was also the Pond’s Miracle Mentor for 2016.

While talking about her diet and the secret behind her beauty, Zeba revealed that she loves to eat and sleep but she never overeats and always sleeps on time. She also shared that extreme diets were a complete no for her and that she always sleeps on time. Zeba does not and cannot stay up till late. She also shared that she keeps her meal timings and routine in check, always. Apart from this, exercise is a constant part of her daily routine.

Another reason why Zeba Bakhtiar looks great at 59 is that she eats a lot of vegetables and fruits. She thinks that vegetables and fruits keep the skin fresh and keep it from sagging. She also shared in an interview with Express Tribune that she never uses any chemicals for cleaning her skin and uses olive oil as a natural cleanser. For her hair, Zeba uses almond oil. Using all these natural ingredients is the main reason why she still looks so young and radiant.

Faysal Qureshi

Faysal Qureshi was actually quite overweight and unfit when he joined the industry. His acting skills however were always on point which is why he never had a problem making a name for himself. Soon after joining the industry Faysal Qureshi realized that he needed to get fit because apart from good acting, looking like a hero would help him further his career. That is when with the help of a few friends, he changed his lifestyle altogether.

Faysal Qureshi especially starting taking care of his health after he turned 40. He looks great now after putting a lot of hard work into it. Faysal Qureshi thinks that a good workout with variations plays an important part in weight loss and in keeping him fit and healthy. He also believes that a balanced diet is the key to success. Faysal Qureshi shared in an interview that he feel he needs to take care of his body because his work is really demanding so if he is not fit, he will not be able to do everything he is doing today. Faysal Qureshi has a really valid point there because surely no one can lead an active life if they don’t have the stamina to lead such a lifestyle.

Faysal Qureshi admits that without the support of friends like Aijaz Aslam, he wouldn’t have made it this far. Therefore, being around people who share the same fitness goals makes a big difference in ultimately achieving these goals. Faysal Qureshi makes sure that he exercises an hour every day.

Sahiba

Sahiba has not changed in the past few decades, which is why even at 47 she looks like she is in her early 30s or late 20s. Sahiba makes a conscious effort to stay young. She has talked about how seriously she takes her fitness because she wants to look young and fresh for long.

Sahiba shared her complete meal plan in one of her videos. She shared that she starts her day with a special drink which includes chia seeds and lemon. This drink is known to kill fat cells and it is also a natural antioxidant. Her breakfast consists of two boiled eggs, one with yolk and one without, and multigrain bread. Sahiba also has a cup of tea in the morning with a very little quantity of skimmed milk. Sahiba believes that fruits are the best snacks therefore she has any low-calorie seasonal fruit as a snack between her lunch and breakfast to curb hunger. Sahiba recommends red beans with lots of salad as lunch for rapid weight loss. She has lemongrass tea instead of regular tea in the evening. For her dinner, she has either baked or grilled fish or chicken with salad. Sahiba also eats brown rice because it is low in calories. Another important tip that Sahiba believes should be followed in order to look young is to add a tea spoon of aloe vera to your regular curries.

Sahiba is one of those few celebrities who have no qualms in sharing the tips and tricks they use to look young. Sahiba also shared that she swears by apple cider vinegar, which she drinks before going to bed. She also works out to stay fit.

Humayun Saeed

This list will be incomplete without Humayun Saeed who literally refuses to age. Humayun Saeed’s age is continuously the topic of discussion and usually the center of jokes as well. He is the only celebrity on this list, who doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves because he has been labeled as the 40 plus actor who refuses to play character roles. Humayun Saeed has often openly confessed that he has no intention to stop playing leading roles in films. Anyone who has watched Punjab Nahi Jaungi will agree that Humayun Saeed can still nail the role of a hero on the big screen and he does not look like he is 48 years old.

Humayun Saeed, unlike other celebrities on this list, isn’t too diet-conscious which is why sometimes he gains extra weight. But every time he has to do a new project, he knows how to get back into shape. Recently in the drama serial Mere Pass Tum Ho he looked overweight because the role does not demand a smart hero but now that his next film is in the pipeline, Humayun Saeed has gotten back in shape.

Humayun Saeed has admitted many times that he is a foodie. He loves eating biryani, nihari, and all kinds of high-calorie desi foods. The secret to his fitness is that he also knows when to stop. Humayun Saeed also works out really hard to make sure that he burns all the calories he consumes. There are some celebrities who prefer watching what they eat instead of burning whatever they are consuming because they find exercising more difficult. Humayun Saeed would much rather eat and work out, that is what works for him best.

Shehzad Roy

Shehzad Roy is a 43-year-old singer and philanthropist who has looked the same in the past 20 years or so.  Although he is not as old as some of the other celebrities on the list, everyone will agree that he has not changed at all in the past two decades. He can still easily pass for a college boy. It is almost as if he simply stopped aging in the past few years. Here is a comparison of Shehzad Roy’s pictures, one from his teenage years and another one from a recent concert.

People have often asked Shehzad Roy the reason for his fitness. In his latest comment, the reason he mentioned was completely different from the one we anticipated. Anyone would think that the reason for his youthful looks must be a strict diet routine but apparently, that is not the case! Shehzad Roy eats everything he likes and wants to including junk foods but he never misses out on his gym routine.

Resham

52-year-old Resham stopped aging at 30! She is another Pakistani celebrity who has proved that age is just a number. She has never shared the secret behind her youthful looks but is one of those few film actresses who have been really honest about their age. Resham has never lied about her age perhaps because she does not feel the need to do so, her youthful looks get her enough compliments. Resham is also known for her great sense of style which has evolved for the better with every passing year.

All these celebrities surely are an inspiration for those people out there who are trying their best to maintain a healthy lifestyle and also all those people who wish to follow in their footsteps. The diet plans and fitness tips shared by all these celebrities will be of great use for all the readers and followers for looking fresh and young for longer. These celebrities have proved that following the right diet and adding some exercise to your life can do wonders.
