Noor Jahan is a drama that is winning hearts on ARY Digital. The drama is written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Musaddiq Malik. Noor Jahan has a huge cast including Saba Hameed, Kubra Khan, Ali Raza, Ali Rehman Khan, Zoya Nasir, Hajra Yamin, Alina Abbas Shah and Noor Hassan. The drama looked like any other saas bahu saga as soon as the teasers dropped and that is what it can technically be classified as but after over 20 episodes, Noor Jahan has proven to be so much more than just a typical saas-bahu story without anything to remember it by. It has managed to become one of the top shows of the season and several reasons have elevated it to such a status. Here are the 5 biggest reasons that make Noor Jahan much more than your everyday drama:
Complex & Intriguing Characters
On the shallow surface Noor Jahan is the story of a toxic mother-in-law, three mama’s boys and four daughters-in-law. But that is not what Noor Jahan is. The drama is more like a political thriller or a game of chess with all the characters having special moves and limitations that keeps the game interesting. Noor Jahan is a toxic mother-in-law but she also represents a dictator who will impose his will on his people and will never take any democratic decisions. The daughters-in-law represent how populace from different economic strata are bound in such a system, with the rich having some liberty while the poor are fully bound. The sons represent the institutions and bureaucracy who will never speak against power and if somone does (like Murad), they will be put in their place. The drama is therefore connecting with Pakistanis on a deeper level as they are much familiar with such systems.
Psychological Thriller Vibes
The underlying tension in Noor Jahan is also something that sets it apart from a normal everyday saas bahu drama. The main character Noor Jahna is not a typical mother-in-law running plots against her family. She is more of a sociopath with plans that she executes to gain her objectives. She killed Mukhtar Shah and used her sons to achieve her desire. She wanted to take away all his property not because she needs the money but because she wants him to suffer even in his grave. The way she celebarted the miscarriage of her own granddaughter and justified her behaviour in front of her son by calling daughters an unnecessary burden shows how evil and manipulative she is. She is running the household not like an evil saas/ mother but more like a scientist with all her children and now grandchildren as lab rats.
Mind Blowing Performances
Noor Jahan has some mind-blowing performances with Saba Hameed taking the lead in quite the literal sense. She has hit it out of the park and she has shown once again why she is one of the best artists in this country. Her makeup, her styling and her expressions are not of Saba Hameed but Noor Jahan. She has brought the character to life like no one else could have done. Saba Hameed is rocking as Noor Jahan and she should get all the nominations in the coming year as she is literally the best.
Another stand out performance is Alina Abbas Shah who is playing Safina in the show. She is representing the majority women of Pakistan who are stuck in a situation that is causing them pain but they do not bow down and show their dissatisfaction in other ways. The way she has also represented a middle class daughter and mother-to-be to a daughter is hyper-realistic and mind-blowing. Alina is a great addition to the industry and she has surely gained a lot of new fans after playing Safina.
Yousaf Basheer Qureshi is another actor who has gained massive love for playing Mukhtar Shah. Though he was there for just a few episodes but the impact he left is still being felt by the audience.
Everyone else including Noor Hassan, Kubra Khan and Ali Rehman Khan are also doing justice to their characters.
Raising Awareness
Noor Jahan is subtly raising awareness about some huge problems prevalent in our society. The toxic obsession of having sons is represented quite realistically by Noor Jahan. She is even happy when the girl child dies, something that many of us have seen in seemingly educated families around us. Noor Jahan brought Maha home representing how giving birth to a son washes away all your sins in this society. Noor Jahan is also showcasing how women from the middle class are stuck in relationships as they cannot go back to their parents’ house and they cannot support themselves. With Noor Bano, the writer and director have shown how financial independence makes a woman stronger in every facet of her life.
Gripping & Fast-Paced Story
Noor Jahan is brilliantly directed by Musaddiq Malik who was the name behind Habs before this. Zanjabeel also came with a brillant script after a string of disappointments. Noor Jahan is fast-paced and does not drag even for a bit. This has also hooked the audience. With two episodes coming every week, something new happens every time and all the characters are evolving with no unnecessary flashbacks. The writer has also made all the tracks interesting and none of the characters bore you. Noor Jahan keeps you hooked from start till the end which is making it a winner with the audience.
Musaddiq Malik’s Noor Jahan has proven itself to be more tan your typical saas-bahu saga and it is a lesson for all the other makers that you can experiment within the same genre too if you put in a bit of effort. Let’s see how Noor Jahan fares in the coming episodes but for now, it is a definite winner!

But yes, I admit that she was a very strong woman. I was just remembering yesterday that my mother was quite a tough person.”

I can recall people asking my mother to remove her gold bangles. It was me who requested my mother to stay the same as she was during my father’s life. For me, yes, my father’s death was the biggest traumatic experience of my life.”
Pakistan has a huge problem of road accidents as rules are never followed and the lack of right policing, good roads and traffic plans have become a reason for many Pakistanis losing their lives. There is also a lack of accountability especially with rich people killing the middle and lower middle class during rash driving and they never pay for what they have done. A recent rash accident took place at Karsaz in Karachi when the wife of Chairman of Gul Ahmed Energy Limited Natasha Danish Iqbal killed a father and daughter by the name of Amna Arif and Arif by hitting them with her car. 4 other people were also injured during the accident.
The woman crushed the father and daughter under her car while she was allegedly heavily drunk. People present at the spot stopped the woman and handed her over to the police. The videos of the woman have gone viral after she was not in her senses even after crushing six people:
The father and daughter who became victims were struggling against life. Arif used to sell french fries and he was supporting his daughter’s MBA degree. The girl Aamna also used to work at a firm while she continued her studies.

Hania Aamir and Farhan Saeed are two stars who managed to capture the hearts of the nation when they came together in Mere Humsafar. Both their graphs went up and they received love and appreciation from all over the world. The duo came back together again in the series Kaisi Hai Ye Ruswai and this time they did not do well due to bad editing, lighting and overall low production value.
In a recent episode, the duo performed a scene where they go to get their 3 month old daughter registered at a local school. The scene was very normal but not common and showed an elite school and how invasive their questions can be. Farhan who is shown as an adpted child has problems with coming to terms with reality while Hania handles the whole situation.
Here is the scene in question:
People are shocked that elite schools are taking intakes with kids who are 3 months old and many had a lot to criticize in this situation:
Shahid Afridi has been a celebrity since the age of 17. He has grown into a big name in cricket in front of everyone’s eyes and he has always received a lot of love and appreciation from the nation. He played all formats of cricket and he later played in several leagues where he always came on the top. Shahid Afridi is retired from cricket and he is focusing on leagues and philanthropic projects now.
Shahid Afridi was a guest on Ushna Shah’s new show and he shared the answer to the most asked question nowadays. We have recently seen media anchors and channel owners reaching the highest echeleons of government and some occupying powerful seats in the power structure because well, everything is possible in Pakistan. People wanted to know if Shahid Afridi wants to do something similar as he gave some really political statements in the past one year.
Shahid Afridi said that he wanted to join politics and had a party in mind but after 2021, he decided against it. He does not want to join politics now and just wants to focus on philanthropy. Afridi believes people in power here do not work and only keep fighting and thus he will avoid that.

Pakistani Actors are constantly striving hard to stay in the limelight. This is especially important if they aim to revive their careers steadily. In showbiz you are as relevant as your last hit project thus all the artists try to give as many hit dramas as possible. We often see good actors compromising on scripts and picking up masala stories just so they remain relevant; this is all part of the game.
Though there is a list of A-listers who get offered all the best work and thus remain on the top of the hit list, sometimes luck does not work and good actors end up doing a string of dramas that do not get high ratings or viewership for several reasons. Here is a list of some outstanding actors who desperately need a big hit right now. None of them are lagging behind but a hit drama will do them good.
Sonya Hussyn
Sonya Hussyn’s last big hit was Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida back in 2020. The actress has done more projects since with some really good performances like Saraab and Tinkay Ka Sahara. Her last Akhara did well but it was more about the male lead with not a lot of margin for Sonya to perform and it was not the commercial hit that Sonya should have. She is currently shooting for her own film. Let’s see how it goes for her when it comes out.
Sami Khan
Sami Khan is a star who has managed to remain on top despite being in the industry for many years. He has done many projects in the last two years but none of them were top scorers. Sami Khan was recently seen in Pagal Khana and Ek Chubhan Si but these are not what can be called as big hits. He will soon be seen in Dunyapur and it may give Sami a big hit as the drama has a promising cast and team.
Imran Ashraf
Imran Ashraf is a versatile actor. He has struggled a lot to reach the top of the game. He became anhousehold name after his drama Ranjha Ranjha Kardi became a hit. He went on to do some great dramas like Inkaar and Raqs e Bismil after that. Imran is seen as Mazaq Raat’s host nowadays. His last drama with Sarah Khan, Namak Haram turned out to be a disappointment for many with many loopholes, a rushed and unnecessary ending and a lot of drag. It received decent viewership but it was not a big hit in any way. Imran’s fans are waiting on a stronger comeback now and let’s see what he comes up with next.
Sarah Khan
Sarah Khan is one of the top actresses of Pakistan. She has established herself as a star who people keep high expectations from. The star however has not given a big commercial hit for some time now. She was seen in Wabaal and then we saw her in Namak Haram. People had high expectations from Namak Haram as it was her comeback with her Raqs e Bismil co-star but the drama did not work. She is doing fine but a big hit will be nice for the star and it may come next with her upcoming drama Shair where she is starring with Danish Taimoor.
Farhan Saeed
Farhan Saeed is not just an actor but also one of the top singers in the country. He focuses on both the parts of his career and he also welcomed his baby daughter this year. After giving a semi-hit with Jhok Sarkar, Farhan is focusing more on the OTT and film side. He is currently working for a webseries on Tapmad and a film opposite Mamya Shajaffar but he has not given us a mega hit after Mere Humsafar. His current drama Kaisi Hai Ye Ruswai on Express TV is also meh and it is not getting a lot of attention.
Ahmed Ali Akbar
Ahmed Ali Akbar is a an actor par excellence. He has never really cared about huge commercial success and he has only picked scripts that he felt good about. His films Laal Kabootar and Gunjal and his dramas Parizaad and Idiot are a testament to how good an eye he has for a good script. He is also cast in Selahuddin Eyyubi but we are hoping to see the star in a big commercial drama in Pakistan which will be a moment of happiness for his fans.
Ahad Raza Mir
Ahad Raza Mir has been away from Pakistani television for some time now. His last drama which was a hit was a Ramadan play Hum Tum. He has been focusing more on his international projects and now he will be seen in Netflix’s Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo as the main character which will definitely be a hit but the actor needs to work in a good television drama with reach to common Pakistani masses. His fans are waiting for him to pick something but he has not done it yet.
Ramsha Khan
Ramsha Khan last gave a critically acclaimed performance in the drama Jannat Se Aagay. She has made some great choices in her career until now but her fans want to see her in a commercially successful project. She is all set to appear in Green TV’s mega project Dunyapur with Khushhal Khan and fans have high hopes that it will bring Ramsha back to the forefront.
Hareem Farooq
Hareem Farooq is another good actress who likes to take on different characters. Her performance in Diyar e Dil is still loved by millions. She was last seen in Green TV’s 22 Qadam which was liked by people for its story and we also saw her in Sar e Rah which was another empowered character but Hareem needs to do a full-fledged hit drama. She is all set to appear in Bismil opposite Nauman Ijaz and the teasers look promising. Let’s see if Bismil is bringing the OG Hareem back.
Talha Chahour
Talha Chahour is a promising newcomer who made a perfect debut with Jo Bichar Gaye. He has since been a part of several dramas and his last two shows Mannat Murad and Jannat Se Aagay did decently but Talha’s characters felt very similar in the two. The actor has great potential and his fans are looking forward to seeing him in a big hit soon.

Recently, Khaled Anam appeared on Something Haute’s show Haute Talk with Hassan Choudhary. During the show, he called out celebrities who unnecessarily criticize dramas without having any qualifications to do so.
Khaled Anam said, “The feedback for Gentleman has been great so far. The main thing is that people are appreciating the character of a progressive father. He is a strong man, and I hope I was able to convey that well. However, there’s another show on TV where the actresses critique dramas, and according to them, it’s a very bad character who is pushing his daughter into an affair with a man. That’s their opinion; they took it negatively. These things shouldn’t be happening. When we used to have our theater training, we learned that a reviewer should be qualified enough to critique a drama. If someone hasn’t studied theater, they’re not eligible to review it. Just because you don’t like something, that doesn’t make you qualified to critique it. A criticism can only come from someone who has studied acting and theater. Well, they are just friends, doing a show, it’s okay. Besides that, social media is a very dangerous thing; we all think we are entitled to give negative and harsh opinions about others”.

Mann Jogi is the comeback of Sultana Siddiqui as a producer. She has come back with a nine episode powerful story which is touching upon a topic that is not openly talked about in Pakistan. The drama is based on how Halala is wrongfully used in Pakistan and what a woman has to go through after she is divorced by her husband. According to the drama Aliya was married off to Ibrahim for Halala forcefully, a practice that is not condoned in the religion.
We saw how the whole thing came around and how Ibrahim was beaten and pressured to say yes. Zafar Mairaj wrote and Kashif Nisar executed the scene where the roti was shared in a very symbolic manner and it showed how women are just considered a commodity and not a full human. The episode was eerie and showed how such halalas are done without adding any glamour to it.
People are applauding that the practice is shown as something negative and abhorrent and the performances of the whole cast and the way this story was not glamourized scared and impacted everyone. Here is what the public had to say about Mann Jogi episode 3:
