Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Acting is no easy feat. It is the kind of job that demands and requires a whole other level of skill and craftsmanship from an actor. Even though some actors are gifted, there are also such actors who learn on the job because acting itself is an institute. Those actors who strive hard to learn and improve then become powerful performers and they then leave an impact on the viewers who tune to their dramas.

Our drama industry is dynamic and ever changing therefore it is very easy for an actor to be forgotten but then, over the years we have seen such actors and actresses who have stayed true to their craft and have finally made a mark in the industry. For an actor, everything else is secondary but what is the most important aspect is their prowess in playing with the camera, owning it and conveying everything that a character goes through and all that happens when the actor learns how to act.

This list is dedicated to all those actors who have proved their mettle over the period of time and have left the viewers awe-inspired by their great acting skills. These are those actors who actually entice the viewers to look forward to their future projects. So, the actors who have proved their mettle are:

Imran Ashraf made his presence felt in drama serial Dillagi and there was no turning back for him after that. He has always impressed the viewers with his versatility and sheer brilliance as a performer. The honesty and dedication with which Imran Ashraf has worked over the years and the kind of projects he has chosen to be a part of make him a suitable candidate for this list. Recently, his mind-blowing performances in Alif Allah aur Insan and Ranjha Ranjha Kardi won him an unprecedented fan following as well as recognition. Bhola’s character in particular has given Imran Ashraf a new identity as a performer who can translate the most challenging characters almost effortlessly on screen. Imran Ashraf is here to stay and he has tons to offer, he surely has proven himself as a brilliant performer not once but over and over again.

Sanam Chauhdry has proven her versatility over the years and she is one of those very few actors who not only experiment but also bring something new to the table. In the recent years, Sanam Chauhdry has given a lot of varied and memorable performances and she is the kind of actress who can carry the entire drama on her shoulders. Sanam Chauhdry’s recent Ghar Titli Ka Par garnered popularity slowly because of her portrayal of Anji. She then appeared in a totally different role in drama Haiwan impressing everyone with her flawless performance and is now doing wonders in currently airing Hum TV drama Meer Abru.

Iqra Aziz

Iqra Aziz has come a long way, Ranjha Ranjha Kardi has been a game changer for her since she got a chance to showcase her talent as a powerful performer in the play. Iqra Aziz has always done justice to the characters she has played but Noori has to be the most challenging character she has played till date yet she never ceases to impress the viewers. Even though this character has its due share of weaknesses, Iqra Aziz has owned it right from the get-go, impressing the viewers every step of the way. With some big hits and phenomenal performances to her credit, Iqra Aziz is the most sought after female actress right now and definitely someone who deserves to be in this list.

Hira Mani

Hira Mani has proved her acting prowess right from her very first project but as the time has passed by, she has only improved and amazed the viewers with her spellbinding performances. Hira Mani has that star quality because of which she can be the front runner and lead the drama. Hira Mani was impressive in her first quality drama Preet Na Kariyo Koi and in her recent blockbuster Do Bol she once again showed what she is made of. Hira Mani has been a part of some amazing dramas, she has always picked up different and challenging roles and has always done justice to them all. We are keen to see what her next project would be.

Affan Waheed has been a part of the industry from quite some while now but he has slowly and steadily paved his path to success. Affan Waheed has been a part of some amazing dramas and has consistently performed brilliantly. Affan Waheed’s recent block buster Do Bol gave him a chance to showcase his talent by portraying such a complex character which Affan did justice to. We are sure that after this drama, Affan Waheed will go places and the drama buffs will be looking forward to see what he is going to bring to the table next. Affan Waheed has really showed his talent over the years and proved that he is a brilliant performer and actor.

Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Hania Aamir

Hania Aamir has a definite screen presence which makes her the main attraction in every project she has ever been a part of. Starting from her very first appearance on the big screen to all the times she has mesmerized the viewers with her performances on television – Hania Aamir has always delivered. Hania Aamir is also one of those few actresses who can make you relate and connect to even the most negative characters by presenting the biggest shortcoming in these characters as human flaws. Her performances in Titli and Anaa prove just that. Hania Aamir is another actor whose acting is always effortless.

Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Sajal Ali

Sajal Ali has garnered a lot of experience over the years and she is a talented actor in literal sense. The way Sajal Ali plays with the camera and breathes life into her characters sets her apart. Watching Sajal Ali on screen is nothing short of a treat because she has so much to offer in terms of acting, expressions and performance. Sajal Ali also does not shy away from taking up different and challenging roles. Over the years she has given us some amazing dramas and unforgettable characters. Sajal Ali is the only actor who has made Aangan worthwhile with her excellent portrayal of a layered character of Chammi.

Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Sami Khan

Sami Khan is another serious performer who has done all kinds of roles in his long career as an actor. He has always outshone in every single character he ever opted to play whether that character was black, white or grey. Sami Khan excels in bringing out the best and the worst in his characters. One of the biggest reasons why Sami Khan has proven himself as an intelligent actor is that he always underplays his characters with finesse and emotes so well on screen. Sami Khan’s acting in Aisi Hei Tanhai, Khudgarz, Woh Mera Dil Tha and Inkaar are the reason why we are fully convinced that he is here to stay. He shares amazing on-screen chemistry with all his co-stars which gives him that extra edge. An actor who always impresses the viewers and manages to steal the show even when he is working with some of the most talented people in the industry, Sami Khan is truly gifted in more ways than one.

Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Ushna Shah

Ushna Shah has been a part of the industry for quite a while now and it is really impressive to see how far along she has come in terms of acting. Initially, Ushna Shah really struggled but as thr time went by, she really worked hard on herself and was on the road to success because she tackled her weaknesses as an actor and improved her acting a great deal. The turning point of Ushna Shah’s career was her phenomenal performance in Alif Allah Aur Insaan where she played the role of Raani whose life turns out to be quite a roller coaster ride. After that Ushna Shah gave a stellar performance in Lashkara. Even though the drama Balaa was a quite a drag and very much negative, but Ushna Shah stayed true to the character and performed it brilliantly by making everyone hate the character of Nigar. Ushna Shah has to be one of those actors who have only improved for the better and has showcased such acting that no one knew she had it in her.

Mohsin Abbas Haider

Mohsin Abbas Haider takes acting very seriously which is why each one of his portrayals have been as realistic as possible. He is another actor for whom the performance comes before everything else whether it is glamour or the choice of characters he is playing. He has given some of the most outstanding performances in the recent past which had a captivating affect on the viewers. Mohsin Abbas Haider can easily be termed as the king of expressions since he pays great attention to detail. He also makes sure that he looks the role apart from translating the mannerism of his characters flawlessly on screen.

Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Madiha Imam

Madiha Imam is an absolute delight to watch on screen since not only is her portrayal of every character she plays perfect but her presence is pleasing to the eyes as well. Although Madiha Imam has not experimented like some of the other actors in this list but she has always given every character her best. Like Sami Khan, she too is one of those few actors who share great on-screen chemistry with all their co-stars. Madiha Imam never fails to impress and makes the viewers look forward to her scenes.

Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Yumna Zaidi

So young yet so immensely talented and wise as well. Yumna Zaidi is one of those very few good young female actors who choose their projects so carefully. She is well known not only for her natural acting but she is also highly respected by the drama watching audience because almost every drama she has been a part of lately and even in the past has provided quality entertainment. Yumna Zaidi lives and breathes the roles she plays, the fact that these portrayals come naturally to her is always evident from her performances. From Guzarish to Inkaar, the list of the memorable performances given by Yumna Zaidi is long. Yumna Zaidi has surely proven that for her convincing portrayals come before everything else. An actress who refused to let glamour and commercialism be the first priority for her, this list would be incomplete without Yumna Zaidi.

Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Ramsha Khan

Ramsha Khan is comparatively new in the list of actors that have been mentioned but it is a fact that she really has proved her acting skills in such a short span of time. Ramsha Khan has a strong screen presence and her effortlessness in emoting and acting makes her a very strong actor. Ramsha Khan’s recent dramas Khud Parast and Kaisa Hai Naseeban allowed her to showcase her talent and she was beyond impressive. Ramsha Khan has it in her that she can also do justice to non-commercial dramas and we hope she explores that genre as well.

Actors Who Proved Their Mettle

Shehzad Sheikh

Shehzad Sheikh has been one of those actors who learned the craft on job and that it why we can see a considerable difference in his acting from before. Shehzad Sheikh has definitely remained consistent in his on-screen appearances but he does tend to stick to certain kind of roles. Since Shehzad Sheikh has really started giving brilliant performances, it would be interesting to see him trying different and challenging roles even more.

Actors Who Prefer Working With A & B Productions

0

I am sure A & B Productions house needs absolutely no introduction. It is one of the biggest production houses in the country which has given us many memorable plays. I am sure many of you have noticed that there are some artists who work excessively with this production house and now whenever I see one of these artists’ upcoming plays promo it does not take much for me to guess that this must be a play from A & B Productions. Also, many of the plays from this production house follow more or less the same pattern, they start off on a very interesting note but gradually the story loses focus and it becomes tedious to sit through most of the plays. But one cannot ignore the fact that A & B productions has also given us some very outstanding plays like Qaid-e-Tanhai, Roag, Mein Abdul Qadir Hoon , Aik Nayee Cinderella and many others. Anyway, since this article is about actors who like to work with A & B productions, I am going to talk about actors who have been associated with A & B productions for a very long time and they somehow prefer working with this production house.

Faisal Qureshi:

Faisal Qureshi has worked with Babar Javed a lot even before he started his own production house. He acted in many dramas which were directed by Babar Javed and I think that is why the two have a strong bond and we see Faisal Qureshi in many A & B productions’ plays whether they are serious ones or comedies. The list of A & B dramas he has worked in is almost never-ending but to mention a few; Roag, Qaid-e-Tanhai, Yariyan, Tishnagi, Mera Yakeen, Kis Din Mera Viyah Howega, Sabz Pari laal Kabooter, Jahez, Topi Drama, Ek Hatheli pe Hina Ek Hatheli Pe Lahu, Mera Pehla Pyaar …well like I said the list is never-ending. I think Faisal Qureshi prefers working with one production house more than many because before he started working excessively with      A & B productions , he used to work for Evernew Studios a lot.

aDHOORI

Faisal Qureshi of course is a very talented actor and a true asset for our industry and A & B Productions has given him some very good characters to play too. His upcoming plays “Adhoori Aurat” and “Virasat” have been produced by A & B too.

VIRASAT FQ

Sami Khan:

Sami Khan is another actor who is fast becoming the face of A & B Productions; even right now he is acting in three different dramas produced by A & B Productions namely Teri Rah Mei Rul Gaye, Ghao and Mei Gunahagar Nahi. Previously also he has worked in many A & B projects and has given some very good performances. His next venture “Harjaye” and “Meri Dulari” are from the same production house too.

SAMISABASamiyaSABA H

Saba Qamar:

Saba Qamar may not have worked in as many A & B dramas as Sami Khan and Faisal Qureshi but I have a feeling that she will be seen in A & B productions very often now too. She has been part of many A & B ventures like Jo Chalay Tu Jaan Se Guzar Gaye, Mein Chand Si, Thakan, Kash Aisa Ho. The good thing about Saba Qamar is that she keeps on working with other production houses as well quite often.

Samiya Mumtaz:

Samiya Mumtaz is one of those actresses who are very choosy about their roles and therefore we do not get to see her on-screen often enough. Most of Samiya’s work on television has been with A & B productions and even right now the only drama she is acting in is from A & B productions. It seems like artists who do not work very often too prefer A & B productions over other production houses. What can be the reason for that?

 Meri Dulari

 

Saba Hameed:

Saba Hameed is very talented but not only is she seen in many A & B productions dramas lately but also seems to be opting for the same kind of roles over and over again even if she is working with some other production house. The list of A & B plays that Saba has worked in is long too, some of them which were very popular are Qaid-e-Tanhai, Mein Abdul Qadir Hoon, Kaala Jadoo, Aks and Ek Naye Cinderella. We will be seeing Saba Hameed in “Meri Dulari” next, which is also a drama by A & B Productions.

Yumna Zaidi:

Yumna Zaidi is another very talented, young, budding artist who started her career with A & B productions and has since then worked in many of their dramas. Her most recent project is with the same production house too. She acted in Thakan, Khushi Aik Roag and now we will see her in “Meri Dulari” very soon, another serial by the same production house.

Virasat

Savera Nadeem:

I must say that most of the actors who prefer working with A & B productions are very gifted and Savera Nadeem is another name on the list. Savera Nadeem is very selective about her work and that is the reason we don’t see her on-screen very often. For the past few years now we have seen Savera Nadeem working in A & B productions serials more than any other. She worked in Qaid-e-Tanhai, Mera Saeein, Diya Jaley, Mera Yakeen and a few other plays from the same production house and her next project “Virasat” is an A & B productions play too.

 kala jadoo

 

There are many other actors who we are seeing in A & B production plays often enough now like Mohib Mirza, Ayza Khan, Aijaz Aslam, Shahood Alvi, Nimra Bucha and Waseem Abbas.A & B productions house is undoubtedly one of the biggest production houses in the country which is working hard day and night to give us good quality dramas. Maybe this could be the reason why these artists prefer working with this production house. Can you think of any actors who prefer working with A & B productions, the faces that instantly make you guess that this must be an A & B production play?

Actors Who Overdo It!

0

Ohkay so, we; the masoom viewers have been put up with a lot lately so I thought it’s a high time to reciprocate some honest & heartfelt feelings about certain actors who’ve given us a hard time. I have always known that exaggeration is one such thing that will annoy any person therefore I feel before joining showbiz, our respected actors worked really hard & practiced harder; the art of exaggeration that’s why sadly they’ve taken it to a whole new level.

I think it’s about time to dedicate a whole article to the bunch of exagger-actors who love to overdo things that they’re needlessly comfortable in & oh it just hit me that I’ve introduced a new term i-e exagger-actors. Sounds good right? :) I must say recently we’ve seen all the exaggeractors sticking to certain things that made the viewers pull their hair out but unfortunately, every single actor’s so hopelessly & helplessly comfortable in what they’re doing that even after the viewers have given up on them they’re continuously doing what they’re good at. I must say it takes a lot of courage to not budge & be allergic to experimenting. So, there you go:

Mawra Hocane who overdoes crying without glycerin:

Yes, she’s someone who has forgotten that there are some other expressions & emotions that a normal healthy human being is capable of experiencing but seems like by default she’s missing a vein which stirs the expression of smiling on a face therefore all that we see her doing is:

01 Mawra

Sami Khan who also overdoes crying with glycerin:

Not sure who wins the crown for being a rotlu of Pakistani drama industry Mawra Hocane or Sami Khan but seems like they decided that she should be a crying queen while he can be a representative of all those men who love to cry, hence he’s a new-found crying-king.

02 Sami

Yumna Zaidi who overdoes expressions:

Ohkay, I must say she’s someone who rolls her eyes at a speed of 10000000 rps (rotations per second) therefore it really gets hard to watch her because she can give you an eye-ache.

03 Yumna

Ushna Shah who overdoes asthma:

Looks like the poor girl is suffering from asthma that’s why she frequently runs out of breath while speaking. Can someone please buy her an inhaler so that at least she has enough breath to complete her sentence without shivering?

04 Ushna

Maheen Rizvi who overdoes an accent:

Seems like she chucked a handful of walnuts in her mouth, that’s why she has a hard time delivering her dialogues without faking an accent. Can someone make her barf those akhrots out, please?

05 Maheen

Mikaal Zulfikar who overdoes glutton-ness:

He’s a guy who’d only smile at a dining table. Who’d be seen hovering around food to sniff it, he’s someone who’d be ecstatic at a sight of an approaching food tray. Yes, he’s someone who’d kill for a piece of ROTIIIIIIII, therefore:

06 Mikaal

Hareem Farooq who overdoes calcium hydroxide i-e choona on her face:

Yes, I think in the wee years of her life, Casper was the first children’s movie that she saw & ever since she has been so inspired by the character that she feels it’s her duty to become an ambassador of Casper’s fan club in Pakistan.

07 Hareem

Ahsan Khan who overdoes unrequited love i-e nakaam ashiqui:

Yes, he’s someone who just doesn’t believe in giving up on love. He’s someone who’s blessed with a misfortune when it comes to love but he keeps on trying again & again & again & again till the word again doesn’t want to appear again.

08 Ahsan

Adnan Siddique who overdoes midlife crisis:

I know the cat’s out of the bag already as Adnan Siddique’s guilty of working opposite the youngest of all female co-actors & then we do get to see him getting a bit too cordial with them unnecessarily. The latest flick was with Mawra where he felt an apple would taste good if he looks at her while eating it, ahem!!!

09 Adnan

Saba Qamar who overdoes the usage of her nostrils:

Yes, even though she’s a great actor, I feel she relies a lot on her nostrils to express herself. I wish she puts her nose to rest & starts using other facial features for expressions. I am sure she’ll be surprised herself.

10 Saba

So, there you have it. My list of exagger-actors who need to either stop what they’re doing or should experiment to sustain in the industry without making their fans too bored with their typicality. Share who do you feel is an exaggeractor & who’s too scared of experimenting. :) Share your thoughts on this please.

Actors Who Need To Up Their Game

With the craze of Pakistani Dramas that has grown over the years, the viewers have made a lot of actors a household name. When the viewers put so much of effort in following the actors and their work, they expect those actors to respond back in the same manner by fulfilling the expectations that their fans and followers have with them. Most of the times, it is the actors’ name that attracts the viewership because the fans who are on a look out for their favorite actors’ work deem it as an opportunity to see them on screen.

With the influx of so many dramas, the quality has been compromised upon a lot and that is why, we see our favorite actors working in substandard dramas, which results in a huge disappointment. This is related to those actors who have a huge fan following and are expected to outshine every single time they grace the screen with their presence.

Then comes the category of those actors who have been a part of the industry for a very long time but haven’t been able to leave a mark because of their substandard acting and with them being a part of the drama makes the viewers hard to connect to the characters and their stories.

So, here’s an alphabetically ordered list dedicated to those actors who need to up their game. Some of the actors need to up their game in terms of drama choices that they make and some need to do that in the overall acting and performance that they do because they have been a part of the industry for a considerable amount of time now and its a high time that they improve.

Aisha Khan

Mann Mayal was the worst choice made by Aisha Khan this year. Apart from that she was part of some of the most disastrous dramas like Shert and Tumhare Siwa last year as well. She has upped her game by choosing scripts this year which have more to offer but unfortunately Aisha Khan’s heavy reliance on make-up kills the impact which her brilliant performances can have on the viewers. In the drama Khuda Mera Bhi Hai she plays a different role but her heavy make-up stands out like a sore thumb every time. Aisha Khan can easily up her game right now by letting go of the dependency on make-up and styling especially because now she is part of dramas which have more room for performance. A character actor can never be successful if he or she is not comfortable in their own skin. We hope to see Aisha Khan looking more “real” in her dramas in the future.

01-aisha-khan

Armeena Rana Khan

Armeena Rana Khan is not seen on the small screen very often but she has some very notable projects to her credit; lately she played leading roles in Bin Roye, the film and the drama and also played the lead in the film Janaan. When an actress is part of such big projects the viewers expect the best from her. Armeena Rana Khan’s dialogue delivery and expressions both are misleading to say the least, she needs to work extra hard on her acting as a whole. Also, most of the times Armeena Rana’s over glamorous and cakey make-up is more distracting than appealing. Armeena Rana Khan needs to up her game both in the acting and the looks department. She is already a part of some big projects therefore she is making the right choices but viewers will stop tuning into her dramas if she does not put in the effort needed to make some serious changes in her acting style and decides to let go of glamour.

02-armeena-khan

Hamza Ali Abbasi

Hamza Ali Abbasi’s comeback after Pyare Afzal is the reason why he is in this list. An actor who chooses to do only one drama a year and one who has a huge fan following should be a little more responsible while choosing the projects he works in. Also, Hamza Ali Abbasi’s statement about his film “Jawani Phir Nahi Aani” went to show that he isn’t sure what he wants to do. He needs to think about pros and cons before choosing a certain project so that his heart is in that project. Even in Mann Mayal Hamza Ali Abbasi with his ever-present frown lines looked confused most of the times which suggested that he wasn’t enjoying playing this role.

03-hamza-ali-abbasi

Hareem Farooq

Hareem Farooq has earned herself a lot of fame in such a short span of time but looks like she struggles a lot when it comes to drama choices. The only good choice that Hareem made was by playing the role of Arjumand in Diyar-e-Dil but apart from that, Hareem chose to be a part of the dramas with the multiple wife themes like Dil-e-Beqarar and Dusri Biwi. In drama serial Sanam, Hareem did try to experiment but unfortunately, her character couldn’t make an impact as much as it should have due to poor writing and direction. Hareem Farooq definitely needs to up her game in terms of drama choices because at this stage, she has a lot of fans who look forward to her work.

04-hareem-farooq

Maya Ali

Maya Ali started her career as a supporting actress but in a very short span of time, because of her acting and confidence, she came into the forefront and started playing the main leads in almost every other drama. Maya has quite a few amazing dramas to her credit which made her a household name and she became someone who could sell a drama only with the attachment of her name to it, but due to her recent disastrous choices, she looked eligible to be made a part of this list as well. After a blockbuster drama like Diyar-e-Dil last year, Maya’s fans were eagerly looking forward to Mann Mayal because they thought Maya will blow them away once again with her phenomenal performance, but to add to their woes, it wasn’t the case. Maya is also seen in Sanam these days and it also happens to be a disaster. Even though Maya is a very fine actor, she needs to up her game by being more careful in choosing her projects because right now she has given two flops back to back, which are definitely going to affect her track record. Both these dramas got a recognition because of the fans of the cast but that most certainly doesn’t mean these dramas were successful. Maya also needs to up her game in the emotional scenes because that seems to be the only weak point of her acting.

05-maya-ali

Saboor Ali

Saboor Ali was part of many dramas this year but none of her performances were up to the mark. Saboor Ali’s biggest flaw is that she tends to overact which makes it look like she is trying too hard. Saboor Ali is a confident actress who should try looking more natural on screen by wearing less make-up and by being more subtle in her performances. Also, she should choose projects which have more room for performance. In Beqasoor and Bhai she was constantly crying, In Teri Chah Mein and Waada she is seen plotting and planning. Saboor Ali’s characters usually lie on the extremes just like her acting skills. She needs to choose better projects, work on her acting skills and wear less make-up.

06-saboor-ali

Sajjal Ali

At such a tender age, Sajjal Ali has garnered a lot of name and fame for herself but sadly, that doesn’t reflect in the choices that she makes when it comes to the dramas. Sajjal Ali is effortless when it comes to acting, but unfortunately, she chooses to get typecast in almost every single drama. There was a time when seeing Sajjal Ali in a promo of a drama sealed the deal that it is going to be a story of a grieving girl as Sajjal stopped experimenting and was offering the same performances to her fans again and again. In the drama Gul e Rana, people expected to see something new from Sajjal but, despite promoting it as a story of a strong girl, Sajjal ended up looking like a bechari who had no way out of her problems. Sajjal Ali has a huge fan following and it definitely calls for experimenting to make her fans happy. Considering how effortless Sajjal is when it comes to acting, she should try her hands on comedy, it will be a refreshing change for the viewers and for herself too.

07-sajjal-ali

Sharmeen Kashif

Sharmeen Kashif has just joined the Pakistani drama industry and has bagged quite a few supporting roles in a lot of popular dramas mostly of Hum TV. Since a lot of casting directors seem to be hiring Sharmeen for the portrayal of supporting characters, she most certainly needs to work on her dialogue delivery because it not only seems flat but it also makes her look like she is putting in a lot of effort when it comes to acting. Sharmeen’s acting makes it hard to say that she is a good addition to the drama industry and since she is getting a lot of work, it is highly required for her to up her game in terms of acting.

08-sharmeen-kashif

Ushna Shah

Ushan has been a part of so many projects but as much as her choices have been unimpressive, so has been her acting as well. Ushna Shah really needs to improve on her acting because in every single drama and in every single scene, it looks like Ushna is about to have an asthma attack. Ushna was recently seen in Geo TV’s Thora Sa Aasman and without even looking at the promos and before the introduction of her character, it was evident that she was going to play the role of a home-wrecker. Ushna has been a part of the industry for quite some while now, so if she plans on pursuing her acting career, she should consider taking acting classes for her better future as an actor.

09-ushna-shah

So, here’s the list of all those actors who in our opinion need to up their game, in terms of acting or in terms of drama choices. Please feel free to add more names to the list and share your thoughts about the article.

Actors Who Need To Experiment With Their Looks

Pakistani drama industry is gifted with actors who are multi-talented. Some of these actors can easily be termed as gurus in their fields but not all of them are very eager to change their looks. Many of them have not even altered their hairstyles in years and even when they do experiment with their looks a little it is almost as if they are scared of going that extra mile to change their looks altogether. They look great nevertheless and some of them are very “well-preserved” but it will be refreshing to watch them experimenting with their looks every now and then if not very often since experimenting and being creative is an essential part of any field of art.

All of these actors are good-looking people who are exceptionally confident about their looks but the looks which they have sported for many years also prove that they would much rather play it safe than change their looks to give the characters they play a certain degree of uniqueness which can be identified with every character that they have played in their career. All these actors have signature looks that remain constant no matter what kind of a character they are playing because of which most of the times they end up looking like they walked from one shooting set to another and their characters can not be differentiated because of the monotony of their looks. There are many different ways in which an actor can alter their looks but so far these actors have not ventured into anything drastic which would have taken their fans by surprise.

Here is a list of those actors who definitely need to and should experiment with their looks:

Hamayun Saeed

Yes! Hamayun Saeed is most certainly one of those actors who are very “well-preserved” but he also falls in the category of those performers who have sported the same look for years. Hamayun Saeed made his comeback with drama serial Dil Lagi after a long time but even then his look in the play was pretty much the same as the one he sported many years back. Apart from the fact that Mohid was very “desi”, there was no drastic change in Hamayun Saeed’s look although this was the perfect time to come up with something brand new. In Bin Roye Hamayun Saeed has grown a beard but there is no drastic change in his hairstyle or overall look.

01-humayun-saeed

Imran Abbas

The only time Imran Abbas experimented with his looks was in drama serial Akbari Asghari, other than that he always has the same boyish looks, his hairstyle never changes, he always sports a stubble and his overall appearance including his makeup remains the same. It is impossible to tell which drama a screen shot has been taken from because his looks are all the same despite the nature of his characters, although in drama serial Mera Naam Yousuf Hai in particular and even in Khuda Aur Mohabbat there was definitely a lot of room for experimenting for him.

Ayeza Khan

Ayeza Khan is definitely one of those actresses who need to change their overall look because ever since she has stepped into the industry, she has had the same hairstyle and her dressing is the same irrespective of the roles she plays. Another reason for this is that most often Ayeza Khan is seen playing similar roles. She has a signature look which suits the seedhi sadhi larki she is seen playing in dramas most of the times. The promos and BTS pictures of her upcoming play Shehrnaz suggest that Ayeza Khan might finally have decided to experiment with her looks, we are waiting to see what she has in store for her viewers.

Zahid Ahmed

Zahid Ahmed is a phenomenal actor but sadly, that can’t be said about his styling skills as he is stuck with a same look ever since he has stepped in the drama industry. Zahid Ahmed does change his clothing but his overall hair-styling & beard pretty much tells that while going to the shoot of another drama, he stopped on his way to home to change his clothes because other than that, you never see him in a different avatar. Zahid Ahmed is lucky to have great acting skills which pretty much keep the viewers attention hooked to him, but he most certainly needs a new stylist who can experiment with his looks & gives him a makeover.

04-zahid-ahmed

Noor Hassan

If you refer to the screenshots below, you will assume that these were taken from a single scene of a single drama but to surprise you all, that is not the case actually. If there was an award dedicated to looking consistently boring on-screen, Noor Hassan will bag it hands down because Noor Hassan is one such actor who takes pride in looking boringly monotonous on screen. The same hairstyle, same skin-fit T-shirts & same expressions, it looks like Noor Hassan is frozen in time & due to which the gel on his hair froze eternally too. For a little part in the drama serial Aabro, Noor Hassan looked different because that was the demand of his character where he had to showcase a time lapse & he actually pulled that look off gracefully, so I think Noor Hassan definitely needs to change his looks & experiment a lot more!

05-noor-hassan

Mikaal Zulfqar

Mikaal Zulfiqar has come a long way when it comes to acting, but sadly, he is still stuck in a rut when it comes to his overall styling. Mikaal Zulfiqar has been sporting he same look ever since he has stepped in the Pakistani drama industry. I don’t remember any such project in which Mikaal’s hair weren’t partitioned differently or his hair-color wasn’t brown. Mikaal Zulfiqar has one of those faces which can pretty much carry any sort of styling but Mikaal has become a little too comfortable with the idea of the same styling that he just doesn’t experiment at all which is definitely needed.

06-mikaal-zulfiqar

Sana Javed

Sana Javed has a very pretty face and she would look great in anything at all yet she also is one of those actresses who are stuck with the same look. Sana Javed does not even change the way she partitions her hair let alone experiment with something which will give each character she plays a different look. Sana Javed hasn’t played a lot of glamorous roles in her career. Her characters in Pyare Afzal, Goya, Mera Pehla Pyar, Ranjish Hi Sahi, Mana Ka Gharana, Zara Yaad Kar and almost all the dramas she has ever starred in had the exact same look which make her look monotonous & boring on screen.

07-sana-javed

Aijaz Aslam

I still remember Aijaz Aslam from his very first drama serial Kashkol and ever since then this man has not experimented with his look at all. He is also one of those many actors in this list who take good care of themselves and have managed to stay young but watching him in the same get up for the past so many years has been quite monotonous. It would be nice to see some variation in his look because till date he has only grown in & out of beard in all his dramas but his hairstyle always stays the same!

08-aijaz-aslam

Adnan Siddique

Adnan Siddique is one of those actors who has aged gracefully, but that does not mean that he has to stick to the silver locks all the time. Adnan Siddique ends up choosing those dramas in which he is paired opposite the actresses who’re half his age, so where his character requires him to look a little young, his monotonous look, hair-color & hairstyle screams the opposite. I actually can not remember a drama in which Adnan Siddique wowed the viewers with a change in his styling & appearance. I think it’s about time that Adnan Siddque does something especially with the hair because that will not only make him look vibrant & different but will make him look less lethargic too.

09-adnan-siddique

Hareem Farooq

Hareem Farooq has lost weight but she is not very open to any radical changes in her overall look. In all her drama serials whether it was Mausam, Mere Humdum Mere Dost and now Sanam, she has the same hairstyle and her make-up has always been unimpressive. Even in her brief appearance in the film Janaan, she sported the same look. There were a few pictures in which for a very brief period Hareem Farooq changed her hair color but later on she was seen in the same old look in drama serial Sanam.

10-hareem-farooq

Emaad Irfani

Being a model, it is definitely expected from Emaad Irfani to change his looks because he has seen himself in different get ups so he knows which looks he can sport but ever since he has started taking his acting career seriously, he has stopped experimenting with his looks completely. Emaad Irfani most certainly has become comfortable with a single look which includes uncombed curly messy hair & a neatly done stubble, which actually makes him look boring on screen. Emaad Irfani definitely is improving as an actor but at this stage I think to make his presence felt in the dramas, he should work harder on his looks which will actually earn him some attention of the viewers.

11-emaad-irfani

Mansha Pasha

Mansha Pasha experimented with her looks a little just once when she was playing Romaissa’s bubbly sister in drama serial Mohabbat Subha Ka Sitara Hai. Other than that even after being part of so many dramas and being attached to the entertainment industry for a few years now Mansha Pasha has retained the same looks in all her dramas which pretty much revolve around curled or straightened hair. Mansha Pasha definitely needs a makeover & she should change her makeup artist too. It would be nice to see her trying out different looks because most of the times it ends up looking like she came straight from her home to the shooting set & started acting, without paying much attention to how she will look on camera.

12-mansha-pasha

Farhan Saeed

Farhan Saeed has an undeniable screen presence which has won him many fans but does he experiment with his looks? Most certainly not! In drama serial Udaari, Farhan Saeed sported a pony tail for a short period of time but there was no major change in his look although there was a lot of room for experimentation. In all his other dramas too Farhan Saeed usually goes with the perfect hair and a very neat look overall irrespective of the role he is playing. This basically goes to show that he is also one of those actors who like to play it safe. The only changes one can see is in the height of the puff that he sports on his head, which actually makes it look like he is heavily inspired from the infamous Johnny Bravo!

13-farhan-saeed

Junaid Khan

I don’t remember a drama when the puff on Junaid’s head faltered giving him a different look. If there is one such actor who can give Noor Hassan a run for his money in terms of monotony, it is Junaid Khan. The most effort the viewers will see him make would be shaving his stubble off but other than that, everything stays the same starting from his puffy hair to the smile which he relies on a lot, even in the scenes where he is may be mourning a death of a character. It looks like Junaid Khan is quite satisfied with his boring look & loves flaunting his stiffness, be it in terms of his hairstyle, his expressions or his body language.

14-junaid-khan

So, with this, we conclude out list. Would you like to see all these actors mentioned above experimenting with their looks? Do you think it is important for an actor to alter their looks completely to give every character they play a unique outlook & make their performances a little more impactful? Do share your thoughts about the subject and don’t forget to add more names to the list.

Actors Who Missed It

0

Dramas are offered to actors everyday, sometimes they take up a project, sometimes they don’t. Once a project that they missed goes on to become a hit, they secretly regret saying no. In the following, we cover some such classic roles and actors who refused them for various reasons

1- Faisal Qureshi as Asher
Yes,the role made immortal by Fawad Afzal Khan was initially offered to Faisal Qureshi. However, he felt that there was nothing much to do in the role and refused it. The role went to Fawad Afzal Khan who grabbed it and the rest they say is history. It’s difficult to imagine the chemistry of anyone but Fawad-Mahira in Humsafar but who knows what sparks could have flied if Faisal was seen romancing Mahira.

 

hamsafarfq

 

2- Mahira Khan as Kiran
Mahira was offered two projects of Umera post Humsafar, one was Shehr-e-Zaat and the other was Kankar. Mahira consulted Momina Duraid who had earlier convinced her to do Humsafar and decided in favour of Shehr-e-Zaat. She felt that Shehr-e-Zaat would elevate her as an actress much more than Kankar would and ratings and popularity wise it would be safe to assume that Mahira was right. Her replacement Sanam Baloch is doing good work but the drama is not as strong/popular as Shehr-e-Zaat.

mahira

3- Fawad Khan and Sanam Baloch as Irtiza and Saman
In the classic romantic story Bin Roye Ansoo earlier Fawad and Sanam were approached to essay the roles of Irtiza and Saman in this Farhat Ishtiaq drama. However, due to dates and other issues, both actors couldn’t do the serial. They were later replaced by Humayun Saeed and Armeena Rana Khan. Die hard fans of Fawad are extremely disappointed with the current casting and feel that it would ruin the serial. Rest would only be revealed once the drama starts airing. Maybe Humayun and Armeena will be accepted as Irtiza and Saman.

fawad

4- Fawad Khan as Ibaad Uzair (Aabi)
This was Farhat Ishtiaq’s second drama after the phenomenal Humsafar. It could not, however, gain the same popularity as its predecessor. Besides other reasons, casting of Adeel Hussain as Aabi was considered one of the reasons of drama not getting as much popularity as Humsafar. Fawad Khan was to play this role but he could not get the visa at the right time and resultantly Adeel Hussain stepped in.

5- Faisal Qureshi as Waqar Ul Hassan
The role of Aiman’s father Waqar Ul Hassan in Zard Mausam was initially offered to Faisal Qureshi who refused once again on the pretext that the role was not powerful enough. The role went to Faisal Rehman but the drama never got much popularity.

zm

6- Mehwish Hayat as Mehru
Mehwish Hayat was approached to play Mehru in Hum TV’s ‘Na Kaho Tum Mere Nahi’ but since she was busy in Mirat-Ul-Uroos and other projects she declined the offer. This is despite that fact that her last serial with Hum TV ‘Meray Qatil Mere Dildar’ proved to a hit and provided her with much needed boost for her career. Saba Qamar stepped into Mehwish’s shoes at the last minute and played the character beautifully.

7- Zaini of Man-o-salwa and Khadeeja of Lahasil
Resham and Angeline Malik were not the first choices for lead roles of Man-o-salwa and Lahasil. However, since all other actresses approached for these roles refused point blankly, Resham and Angeline came in. The exact reasons for other actresses refusing these roles remain unknown. Casting remains one of the main reasons of criticism on these dramas.

Besides the roles mentioned above Fawad was not the first choice for Ashk either. He came in once Sarmad Khoosat took over as the director of the play.

Actors Who Experiment With Their Looks

When it comes to bringing life to the characters, it is pivotal for the actors to give their characters the right treatment to make them look different & also to make the viewers feel that they are watching someone & something new on their television screens. Experimenting with looks is a very important part of an actor’s job because it defines their vision, attention to detail & maturity as a performer. When the actors experiment with their looks, it depicts that for them, their comfort zones don’t matter much, but what matters the most is how their characters are translated on screen which makes them look versatile.

Experimenting is something that helps the viewers in forming a connection with the new characters as it allows them to move on from the past performances of the actors. When the viewers get to see an actor in a new avatar, they find it easy to put the past to rest & look forward to what an actor has to offer in the new project because if the actors doesn’t change their overall look, it feels that the walked from one shooting set to another.

We have a list of those brilliant actors who are always seen experimenting with their looks & succeed in looking different in most of their dramas.

Bushra Ansari:

Bushra Ansari is an all rounder who can portray any character assigned to her on screen effortlessly. Even with so much experience Bushra Ansari is very conscious about her look in dramas. In drama serial Bilquees Kaur she had a look completely different from her look in drama serial Mere Dard Ko Jo Zuban Miley because the characters she was playing in these dramas were poles apart. Similarly right now she is part of two dramas, Jhoot and Udaari and in both these dramas her outlook matches the characters that she is playing. Bushra Ansari also shared how much homework she did to make Sheedan of Udaari look completely different so that the viewers could easily see her as Sheedan and not as Bushra Ansari. It is truly impressive that even an actress of her caliber feels that she needs to put in extra effort in order to make her roles look diverse.

Actors Who Don’t Rely On Make-up

When it comes to being associated with the showbiz, it is imperative that those who’re in this industry have to have a strong connection with the glamour because most of the times, it is the demand of the camera & also, it turns out to be a comfort zone of the people who face camera every single day of their lives. Being glamorous is a part of the showbiz industry but when it comes to our dramas, quite often we see such characters that do not require being glamorous at all because we have a vast range of characters that our actors end up playing, which depict Pakistani women from all the walks of life & from all the age brackets.

Most of the times, the characters that are showed on screen end up looking far from reality because the actors that are playing those roles chose to give them the treatment that do not sit well with the viewers due to them being overly glamorous because it suddenly takes away the factor of naturalness & reality from character. It somehow also depicts the insecurity of the actor playing such a character who might not be a bit too comfortable in their own skin but fortunately, we have a handful of very talented actresses who not only own their skin, who not only own their real-self in front of the camera, but also own their characters because of the realistic treatment they give to them which is far from being glamorous & this happens to be the reason why people end up falling in love with the characters that they play & also get impressed with their vision & maturity as actors.

There are quite a few actresses who have made sure to keep their looks as simple, realistic & natural as possible, because for them, it is the acting that matters. Here’s a list of those amazingly talented actresses in no particular order:

Samiya Mumtaz:

Samiya Mumtaz, one of the finest actors of our industry, is a character actor, which is why we never see her giving such a treatment to her appearance that wouldn’t match the nature of the characters that she plays. Samiya Mumtaz makes sure to keep things as closer to reality as possible, that is why, in stead of getting distracted by her appearance or looks, viewers feel connected to her characters immediately because of her acting as Samiya’s entire focus is on her performance & is not on glam-ming herself up, which most of the time wouldn’t gel well with the characters that she plays, like that of Saba in Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Benishaan, Rasheeda in Sadqay Tumhare & Sajida in Udaari.

01-samiya-mumtaz

Mahira Khan:

Mahira Khan is very selective about the projects she chooses to be in because she takes her work very seriously. Her looks in dramas like Hamsafar, Shehr-e-Zaat and Sadqay Tumhare were completely in line with the roles she was playing and the situations her character was in. When there is no need for make-up Mahira Khan is A-okay with minimal styling and make-up whether she is working in a drama or a film.

02-mahira-khan

Sanam Baloch:

Sanam Baloch, is another one of those very few young actresses who focus more on the acting & don’t put much energy into looking glamorous all the time. Sanam Baloch’s effortlessness in both acting & her appearance is what made her such a strong actress. Sanam has played a lot such characters which demanded a no-makeup look & she flaunted her natural beauty with her raw face, with a lot of confidence because Sanam Baloch knows that by the end of the day, it is the acting that makes a mark & leaves an impact.

03-sanam-baloch

Samina Peerzada:

A veteran actor who is well aware of the the beauty that she embodies, that is why we saw her confident in her own skin in dramas like Durr-e-Shehwaar & Shehr-e-Zaat where the demand of her character didn’t allow her to have a speck of makeup on her face & Samina Peerzada owned those characters because of the way she kept things natural. Samina Peerzada can be quite experimental with her looks but she is also one of those actresses who don’t mind sporting a natural look as far as they compliment the character that she is playing.

04-samina-peerzada

Maya Ali:

Even though Maya Ali can sport a glamorous look in photoshoots & award functions, but when it comes to dramas, Maya’s no make-up look in a lot of her projects has helped the viewers connect to the roles that she plays immediately. She is more than okay and comfortable in a neatly tied braid and only enough make-up which is needed to meet the needs of the camera and the scene.

05-maya-ali

Sanam Saeed:

Sanam Saeed happens to be one of those few young actresses who rely solely on their acting in the dramas & don’t really put much thought into the glam side of their job. As far as photo-shoots & the modelling side of the spectrum is concerned, Sanam Saeed has proved that she can carry versatile & dolled up looks too but when it comes to dramas & acting, she makes sure to keep her outlook as natural & as simple as possible, in order to depict a character of any regular Pakistani girl flawlessly. If we take a closer look at her work in Daam, Mata-e-Jaan, Mera Naseeb, Firaaq or Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Sanam Saeed has followed the same pattern of keeping her character looking as natural & as simple as possible, which showcases her focus & confidence in her acting more than the superficial appearance.

06-sanam-saeed

Ayeza Khan:

Ayeza Khan glams up for award shows and functions but when a character she is playing on screen does not allow her to wear too much make-up she is perfectly alright with it. Her no make-up look and barely any styling in drama serial Adhoori Aurat went to show that she feels very comfortable in her own skin!

07-ayeza-khan

Sajal Ali:

Sajal Ali is another actress who is hardly ever seen wearing too much make-up. She knows how to keep it natural by wearing nude shades of eye make-up and very thin liner which accentuates her eyes but does not stand out because she plays the roles of a young girl most of the times, so she makes sure to give her character the right treatment which sync well with the age of the character that she is trying to portray.

08-sajjal-ali

Sania Saeed:

Sania Saeed, an actor with a lot of experience, knows exactly how the camera perceives her face, that is why Sania makes sure to give her character the treatment that it deserves. Where we saw her all dolled up as Bari Sarkar in Aseerzadi, we are now getting to see her as a simple Pukhtoon housewife in Sang e Marmar & the treatment she has given to both these characters is completely different & shows her command over her work & her experience as an actor. In the initial stages of her career, Sania Saeed barely wore any makeup because she was confident about herself as an actor.

09-sania-saeed

Arij Fatyma:

Arij Fatyma is blessed with a very cute face and tons of confidence! She knows when to glam up for her role and when to keep it natural. Using the right kind of foundation and applying only enough make-up which suits the role is a trick Arij Fatyma is well aware of. The character of Bareera in Aik Pal goes through a complete transformation, where from being a very modern girl always clad in makeup she turns into someone who chooses an entirely different path in her life & both these phases were perfectly portrayed by Arij Fatyma.

10-arij-fatima

Syra Yousuf:

The only time Syra Yousuf wore slightly more make-up on screen was in drama serial Mera Naseeb even in that play when her character was going through tough times her look completely changed. Syra Yousuf isn’t seen wearing a lot of make-up even in award functions. The natural look suits her and she knows it!

11-syra-yousuf

So, here’s the list of all these actresses who according to us keep their looks as natural as possible & give their characters a very realistic feel with a realistic portrayal to add more depth in their performances. Please do let us know your thoughts & feel free to add more names to the list.

They were sad and they conveyed their deep sorrow through comments and tweets.

Actors Who Didn't Extend Condolences On Dr Aamir Liaquat's Death

Celebrities and public were truly saddened and grieved on his death. We saw that almost every Pakistani actor extended sorrow on the sudden demise of Dr Aamir Liaquat. Many were quicker enough to express about their sorrow on his departure. Here are a few celebrities who extended condolences on his sad demise.

Sadly and unfortunately too big names of industry didn’t post anything about the demise of the host. Fahad Mustafa, Mahira Khan, Humayun Saeed, Saba Qamar, Adnan Siddiqui, Aijaz Aslam, Mikaal Zulfiqar, Mehwish Hayat, Imran Abbas, Imran Ashraf and Nauman Ijaz posted nothing about Dr Aamir Liaquat’s death who was a big name of industry and also popular internationally.

There was no mourning post rather they all were actively posting about their projects. Fahad and Mahira were keen to promote Quaid E Azam Zindabad. Humayun Saeed was interested in the poster launch of London Nahi Jaunga. Saba Qamar was interested in Kamli, Ahsan and Mikaal were interested in Fraud. Apart from that Aijaz Aslam, Adnan Siddiqui were busy in their activities and many other actors also kept quiet and didn’t post a single tweet.

Actors Who Become The Character

Aristotle said that the secret to moving the passions in others is to be moved oneself, that is the basic idea behind method acting. Method acting is described as a form of acting where the actor mystically ‘becomes’ the character or tries to somehow literally live the character in life it demands the actors to use their imagination, senses and emotions to conceive of characters with unique and original behavior, creating performances grounded in the human truth of the moment. it mobilizes actor’s conscious thought and will in order to activate other, less-controllable psychological processes—such as emotional experience and subconscious behavior—sympathetically and indirectly. The actor searches for inner motives to justify action and the definition of what the character seeks to achieve at any given moment.

 

The end result is that the actor ceases to exist and becomes the character he’s playing that is acting at it’s best, listed below are the top ten method actors of Pakistani entertainment industry who if asked us to believe that they were “BATMAN” we might.

 

10: Gohar Rasheed

Actors Who Become The Character

Theater, Drama or Film, Gohar has done it all. The highlight of his career was being nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for the movie Seedlings at 2012 New York Film Festival. Since then be it his “Sir, I from village” kinda role in Mein Hoon Shahid Afridi or a gambler/abusive husband from Mann Mayal we have seen him grow and we’ve cherished every moment of it. Here’s to looking at you Gohar, make us proud.

 

9: Zahid Ahmed

Actors Who Become The Character

Be it the theater or our home screens Zahid is a force to be reckoned with, with that voice quality and nonchalance I can vouch for him to be the next 007, his commitment to his roles is so strong that “The name’s Bond, James Bond” can seem like a believable statement. The man already has performances like Alvida, Zara Yaad Kar, Jugnoo and Besharam to his credits and there’s certainly much more to come. Anxiously waiting to see him work his magic in Daldal.

 

8: Mohsin Abbas Haider

Actors Who Become The Character

This tall dark and handsome punjabi munda is a complete package, from his soulful voice to eccentric raps and his acting skills he is a delight. We have not seen enough of him yet but what we have seen is enough to put him on our “Sarpharaz dhoka nahi dia” list. We can count on him to not disappoint us in the future either.

 

7: Hamza Ali Abbasi

Actors Who Become The Character

Not Ali but “Controversy” is his middle name which takes a toll on him ergo we do not get to see enough of him on screen. My first Hamza drama serial was Mere Dard Ko Jo Zuban Miley and I HATED him which is what he set to achieve since his role was a despicable one. Like Johnny Depp, Hamza is guilty of making dumb choices like Mann Mayal and Jawani Phr Nahi Ani I sincerely hope to see some Pyare Afzal level performance from him soon.

 

6: Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui

Actors Who Become The Character

Like Hamza Mere Dard Ko Jo Zuban Miley was my first Sheheryar drama serial too. Despite the fact that Sheheryar’s character was deaf and mute his performance spoke volumes and the message was loud and clear “I am the next big thing”. After that supportive roles like Osama from Zindgi Gulzaar Hai to Ho Mann Jahan he has stayed true to his message and by the looks of it will continue to do so.

 

5: Aijaz Aslam

Actors Who Become The Character

Our love for Aijaz is as old as it gets, from Mehndi to Main Aur Tum and even his Chaudary Nazakat Gee CNG days he has stayed true to his chocolaty hero persona but amidst all that we got to see TV series like Yaariyan, Daam, Parchaiyan, Baandi and Dil Ishq off and on to prove that Aijaz can not only do it but ace it.

 

4: Ahsan Khan

Actors Who Become The Character

Ahsan recently made everyone lose their chill with his breathtakingly gorgeous display of a rather ugly character like Paa Imtiaz, before that we’ve seen him in a list of shows longer than Ahsan himself, among those I particularly liked him in Paani Jaisa Pyaar and Dastaan, Though he is commendable in all his performances.

 

3: Fahad Mustafa

Actors Who Become The Character

The man single-handedly handled a show like Main Abdul Qadir Hoon that alone is enough to keep him in this list yet that’s not the end of it, he has shows like Mera Saeen, Kankar, Maaye Ni, Sandal and Pul Sirrat to his credits and I simply can not wait to see him in Mah-e Meer.

 

2: Faisal Qureshi

Actors Who Become The Character

Faisal Qureshi has some Bollywood Khans level reputation in our industry which is only fair given how long he has been here. I can still hear him say “Boota from Toba Tek Singh” and I remember him pulling off that lungi look though I was only 6 at the time. From his eccentric humor in Mein Aur Tum to his roles in Qaid e Tanhai the man has lived his entire life on screen and I certainly wish to see him back on the big screen soon.

 

1: Nouman ijaz

Actors Who Become The Character

Hands down ain’t no way anyone else can be the King of this list while this man lives, He is the fearsome Malik Wajaahat from Mera Saeen and he is the Dar Jee from Sang e Mar Mar. Bari Apa, Rehaai, Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahi, Khan, Lahasil, Jackson Heights are just constant reminders why this man tops this list. His graceful transition from lead roles to playing lead role’s father makes me respect him even more.

This will be all for now, if you believe someone belongs or doesn’t belong in this list do let us know in the comments section.

Actors Who Are Victims Of Typecasting

0

Well, honestly speaking I am not sure if they are victims out of their own free will or it is just that they are offered to play the same kind of roles. I am sure many of you already know what typecasting is but those of you who may not have a clear idea, let me explain it to you. Typecasting means to cast an actor continuously in more or less the same kind of role, either because of his physical appearance or previous success in such roles. Pakistani drama industry is blessed with some enormously talented actors who have proven time and again that they are very versatile and can easily portray any character with precision but for some reason we see many of these actors performing similar kind of roles and that just becomes monotonous and is not exactly fair with them. Here is a list of some actors who have lately been seen performing similar kind of roles and I would really appreciate it if we could see them in different roles.

1. Saba Hameed:

Actors Who Are Victims Of Typecasting

I am sure all of you will agree with me that this gifted actress is as capable of playing a positive role as she is of portraying a negative character on screen. But, lately starting from Qaid-e-Tanhai to Aik Naye Cinderella she has been playing the evil or not so good mother. Sometimes it seems like Saba Hameed just walked out from one set to the other and it becomes a little difficult to relate to her characters. There are many other actresses who play the mother too like Shamim Hilali for instance but the roles are different; In Maat she was a down to earth mother and in Uraan she was completely different.

2. Ayza Khan:

Actors Who Are Victims Of Typecasting

I am a devoted fan of Ayza Khan because she is one of those rare actresses who nail all their characters right from the beginning of their career. She played the rebellious daughter in Larkiyan Mohallay Ki, then in Zard Mausam and now in Aks. All these characters leave no room for versatility and show her in the same light. Although in Mi Raqsam Ayza Khan plays a girl married to a man much older than her but I really feel that she has much more potential and should be given roles that put her acting skills to test.

3. Mikaal Zulfiqar:

Actors Who Are Victims Of Typecasting

I watched Shehr e Zaat and Talafi too but to me Mikaal is somehow still Mansoor from Durr e Shehwar, now why is that? I think because that character was completely different from what he seems to be doing usually. He plays the insincere man who cheats on his wife in every second play, be it Shehr e Zaat, Talafi or Manjali. He is another actor who has so much more to offer. I would say that casting him in such roles only is a sheer waste of good talent.

4. Mehreen Raheel:

Actors Who Are Victims Of Typecasting

Mehreen Raheel played the girl who had to share her man with another woman in Mastana Mahi, hopelessly loved a man who did not love her in Dastaan and now she is the other woman in Ashk. It seems like her role in Zindagi Gulzar hai will be the same too. Quite interestingly in all the plays that I mentioned above, except for Mastana Mahi, the love of her life was Fawad Khan!

5. Nimra Bucha:

Actors Who Are Victims Of Typecasting

Nimra Bucha is one of those endowed artists who were born to perform but this talented actress has been a victim of typecasting more than anyone else. She played the sister who could not find a suitable spouse in Daam and after that all her on-screen marriages have been troublesome. Mera Yakeen, Sabz Pari Laal Kabooter and Baandi, in all these plays she plays the victim; a very docile patient woman who has to put up with a great deal. Sometimes I feel like I know her expressions by heart. And the reason for that is not that she cannot perform any better but that is the demand of the characters she plays.

How do you feel about typecasting? Do you enjoy watching your favorite actors playing the same kind of roles or do you want to see them in different roles? I must give credit to many actors like Faisal Qureshi, Faisal Rehman, Mohammad Qavi Khan, Sajjal, Savera Nadeem, Sarwat Gillani, Mohib Mirza, Alishba Yusuf and the list is long (add to it please), who believe in versatility.

Actors Who Are Very Conscious About Their Looks

0

Acting is just as much about talent as it is about looks. If you have the good looks to go with great acting then it can be a lethal combination. Talent of course comes before looks. If someone looks very pretty on screen but cannot act, they will never make it to the top or may not even make it very far. We have quite a few examples of actors in the industry who are good looking but they cannot act very well. This article is about those actors who are very talented but also equally conscious about their looks; they have always put in extra effort to look good no matter what role they are playing.
There are some scenes that demand less make up and sometimes it seems very strange that these actors still wear a lot of make up even in those scenes. Other than that, the make up and the accessories can sometimes be very distracting. There are many other actors for whom looks do not matter at all and they have the confidence to come with barely any make up on screen if that is what a particular scene or drama demands. Here is a list of actors who I think find it very difficult to come on screen without a lot of grooming.

Ayesha Khan:

Ayesha Khan has talent, I am not denying that but ever since she entered the industry she has been very conscious about her looks. Even when playing characters which are not glamorous at all for example like the one she played in “Paarsa”, she still wears a lot of make up all the time. Her character maybe going through the worst time but the make up will not be mellowed down.

                               aishaaisha1aisha2

Sarwat Gillani:

Sarwat Gillani is another very gifted artist who is very versatile; we always get to see her in different roles in different plays. When Sarwat started her career, she was least bothered about her looks and most often we saw her with barely any make up on screen, so much so that she was even comfortable with her non blow dried hair. But lately Sarwat Gillani has been very conscious about her looks. The change in her looks started by the serial Mata-e-Jaan and ever since that I have never seen her without make up except for only one scene in Mata-e-Jaan. Not to mention that the curly hair look seems to be ancient history now. I remember even when the naani passes away in the play Mata-e-Jaan and everyone is in the hospital, Haniya (Sarwat Gillani) wears a lot of jewelry and make up.

                                       sarwatzoyahaniya

Mahnoor Baloch:

I have never seen Mahnoor in a character in which she plays the seedhi sadhi larki without any glamor. Yes, she did play one such role in Talafi but I guess one cannot separate glamor and Mahnoor. It maybe that it comes naturally to her and she looks stylish no matter what. But a real actor is one who can truly change his or her looks according to the demand of the character.

                                 +mahnoormahnoormahnoor1

Mohib Mirza:

There was a time when Mohib was very comfortable with his curls and his wheatish complexion but not anymore. Mohib has dead straight hair now and the foundation is a constant, not to mention the kajol and everything else. Mohib Mirza is another one of those very good actors, who cannot compromise on their looks no matter what role they are playing,

                          mohib1mohib2

Imran Abbas:

Imran Abbass has always been very conscious about his looks; something that anyone can guess. Except for a very few plays, he has always made sure that his hair looks its best and he is also one of those male actors who wear a lot of make up.

                           imran abbasia2ia

Mehreen Raheel:

How is it possible that we talk about actors who put their looks before anything else and Mehreen Raheel is left out of the discussion? Mehreen Raheal has always played characters that are glamorous and even if they are not she makes them glamorous with her look; Dastaan for instance. I have never seen Mehreen wearing a simple shalwar kameez on screen with little make up.

                                    mehreen1mehreen2mehreen

This list is not meant to discourage anyone, all of these actors are very talented and they have proved their versatility too time and again but sometimes it is good to see the artists not depending so much on their looks especially at times when they seem out of place.

Actors who are typecast

0

There is no dearth of talented actors and actresses in our TV Industry. These raw actors and actresses enthrall us with their immense talent and nuanced performances. However, many of these actors have been typecast now and we see them doing the same kind of roles over and over again. It’s not that these actors do not have talent,it’s the directors and producers who limit them or maybe the audiences want to see them doing the same kind of thing over and over again and don’t accept them when they try something new and different.The following are a few such actors and actresses

Fawad Afzal Khan

Fawad Khan is a superstar and is a powerhouse of talent.No two views on that.However, he is limited to playing lover boy kind of roles.Infact,whenever a love story or a popular love story is filmed for screen,everyone starts demanding that Fawad be cast as the main lead. This was the reason for Mata-e-Jaan not getting so popular and not doing so well on the ratings chart.Similarly,the audiences are already disappointed with Farhat Ishtiaq’s upcoming ‘Bin Roye Ansoo’ as they wanted to see Fawad as the perfect lover boy with Mahira and not Humayun Saeed. Another one of Fawad’s serials ‘Numm’ to be aired on Geo again features a love story with a feudal background. So, we can say that audiences and makers consider Fawad fit for love stories only and do not give him other roles.Audiences do not accept him in other roles either as is evident from his grey shaded characters in Akbari Asghari and Kuch Pyar Ka Pagal Pan Bhee Tha.This supremely talented actor definitely deserves more and the audiences also need to accept him in roles other than the perfect lover boy.

Sanam Baloch

Sanam Baloch is a fiery performer and that she has proven time and again.Her serial ‘Dastaan’ is testimony to this where she played the role of Bano to perfection showcasing Bano’s transformation from a simple girl in love with Hassan to the one emotionally craving for Pakistan to a crusader who can’t see an impure Pakistan.Unfortunately,Sanam’s choice of projects in recent times such as Roshan Sitara,Nadamat,Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Saya,Durr-e-Shehwar and now Kankar see her playing her the ‘bechari’ wronged woman type of characters.Most often,her husband and in-laws wrong her,make her life miserable and she either suffers in silence with the hope that things will get better with time and everyone accolades her bravery or she puts up some form of resistance.I am not sure if audiences want to see Sanam shedding buckets full of tears everytime she appears in a drama but I long for the Sanam of Doraha where she went to the extent of breaking up Humayun Saeed’s marriage with Sonia Rehman so that she could marry Humayun.

Hina Khawaja Bayat

Hina Khawaja Bayat is talented and beautiful.She rose to fame with Humsafar where she played Sara’s mom.Since then what she has majorly done on screen is utter Falak Jani,Zaroon Jani,Aun Jani.Except for Talkhiyan where she played a grey shaded aunt,she can be seen either the doting, suave or indifferent mother in all her other plays.She need to try out something different and makers should also harness her talent for something totally novel and new.

Shehryar Munawar

Shehryar Munawar is hero material from all angles.He’s good looking,has got good physique and good screen presence.He lights up the frames in which he appears.However,the same cannot be said of his acting skills.He needs to work on his expressions and smile less which is probably his habit.If he can work on his expressions a little more,he can become the perfect actor.He has everything else going for him.Maybe,he just needs time to perfect himself like many other actors before him have done.

SMShehryar

Mawra Hocaine

What does the name bring to your mind.Yes,definitely the image of a poor woman who is subjected to torture,mental stress and harassment at the hands of husband/in-laws.She played this role to the hilt in Ik Tamanna Lahil Si and has done similar stuff in Mere Huzoor,Mein Gunahgar Naheen,Mere Harjai and many episodes of Kitni Girhain Baqee Hain.With the exception of Yahan Pyar Naheen Hai she’s never played a grey shaded character and most probably we won’t see her playing such a character again either.

mawra hocane

These are some of the actors who have been typecast. You are free to name others. I would once again reiterate that more than the actors,it is the fault of the makers and audiences who don’t accept them in new avatars.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

Pakistani drama industry is blessed with exceptional actors who are not afraid to try new roles and enjoy what they do. These actors invest their time and energy into their projects, work really hard to give every role they play a realistic feel and make these roles memorable. So far this year we have seen many memorable performances by these actors which make it pretty clear that they are without a doubt in full form and are doing better than ever.

Here is a list of some unparalleled actors who are at the top of their game this year.

Sami Khan

Sami Khan has always given every role he has ever played his best but this year he got more recognition and love from the viewers than ever before because after a long time he worked with different production houses and was constantly experimenting with diverse roles. He breathed tangible life into some of the most difficult characters, made the most unlikeable characters appealing and continued to give one amazing performance after the other. It won’t be wrong to say that right now Sami Khan is the kind of actor who could be the sole reason why you tune into even those plays which don’t click with you. Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua, Rasm e Dunya, Aisi Hei Tanhai, Khudgarz and more recently Woh Mera Dil Tha are some of the plays in which Sami Khan mesmerized the viewers with his outstanding performances.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

 

Nauman Ijaz

Nauman Ijaz is a powerhouse of talent who never fails to impress but there have been times when he has opted for projects which didn’t suit his exceptional acting skills. Lately however he has chosen to play some of the most unconventional roles and took this opportunity to prove his mettle as an extraordinary actor yet again. His effortless portrayal as a strict father who gradually underwent a drastic change overtime in drama serial Sang-e-Mar Mar impressed one and all but recently his character in drama serial in Dar Si Jati Hei Sila is unlike any other he has played in his entire career. Choosing to play a vile character like that of Joi must have been a tough choice for an actor who has almost always played charming roles in some capacity or the other yet Nauman Ijaz has put his heart and soul into this role and made it count! When an actor of his caliber decides to move out of his comfort zone decades after being part of the business, you know that he is still as passionate about acting as he was on day one. Nauman Ijaz is definitely at the top of his game right now.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

Aamina Sheikh

Aamina Sheikh is one of those very few versatile actresses of our drama industry who know the exact treatment a character deserves. However in the past, Aamina hardly got any such drama where she could perform to her full potential even though she did the best she could but somehow the characters didn’t really give her a chance to make an impact. The way Aamina Sheikh has performed in Khudgarz has convinced every single viewer that she is a force to be reckoned with. The character that Aamina has played in Khudgarz allowed her to showcase the talent that she has when it comes to acting and it is because of her phenomenal performance, everyone was left heart broken when her character died in the drama. Aamina Sheikh has it in her to effortlessly and convincingly play such challenging characters and we hope she gets to play these kinds of roles in the future too.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

 

Noor-ul-Hassan

There are very few actors in the industry who could be a perfect fit for some specific type of roles yet they simply refuse to be typecast. Noor-ul-Hassan is one such actor who has the perfect looks for being the decent older brother or a helpless father yet he simply refuses to be typecast! Although Noor-ul-Hassan’s acting skills have always been commendable but lately he has been more impressive than ever in different roles which show that he can seamlessly fit into any kind of character. Few of his recent dramas like Sammi, Meeras, Dar Si Jati Hei Sila and Aangan speak volumes of his credibility as a solid performer. In Sammi he played the role of a weak father but in Meeras he plays the role of a wicked man who couldn’t care less about anyone and in Aangan he plays the sensible older brother who speaks his mind yet is really caring with finesse. Noor-ul-Hassan made his presence felt recently more than he has ever before, he brought out the best (or worst) in his characters and won the hearts of the viewers.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

Irsa Ghazal

Irsa Ghazal has become a household name over the years because she has given some stellar performances in the past. Irsa has always played serious and challenging roles and she most certainly has done justice to them all but she blew everyone away with her performance as Hajra in Aangan because no one could ever imagine that she could play a comic role of a Punjabi Bahu to perfection. Hajra’s character has turned out to be everyone’s favorite and needless to say, it is only and solely because of the fact that Irsa Ghazal has breathed life into it. Hajra’s character needed a specific sort of treatment and the way Irsa Ghazal has carried it out proves that she can excel at such humorous and comic roles too. We hope to see her playing such characters in the future because she has given everyone a taste of how perfect her performance can be in such setting as well.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

Yumna Zaidi

Yumna Zaidi is one such actress from the younger lot who is not only extraordinarily talented but also doesn’t shy away from experimenting and trying something new every single time. Yumna happens to be one of those very few actors whose graph keeps on getting better and the she never really fails to leave a mark no matter which character gets assigned to her. In Dar Si Jati Hai Sila Yumna’s performance leaves the viewers spellbound and in Pukaar, she happens to be the only one doing full justice and drawing the attention of the viewers to the drama. Yumna Zaidi has raised the bar so high that the news of her upcoming projects excite the viewers as they know they are going to get a quality acting and performance by her.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

Saman Ansari

The fact that Saman Ansari takes every project she chooses to be a part of really seriously is evident from her powerful performances in all the recent dramas she has been a part of. She always looks and acts the role and makes her characters come alive on screen. Not only this, every drama which she acted in this year has served a bigger purpose which we are sure wasn’t a coincidence. Her performances in dramas like Sammi, Ghairat, Khaani and Dar Si Jati Hei Sila were extraordinary although the roles she played in each of these dramas were completely different from each other. Saman Ansari has been giving the viewers a reason to tune into her dramas this year therefore this list would have been incomplete without her.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

Mansha Pasha

Mansha Pasha has been in the industry for quite some while now but apart from a few dramas, she never really got a chance to shine through, but it is so good to see her doing so well lately because she not only has been acting well, she has been doing complete justice to the characters that are assigned to her. With such amazing performances in Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua, Aangan and Khudgarz, Mansha has proved that she will keep on pushing her boundaries and will now experiment with different characters. It is actually a delight to see Mansha trying something new lately because she is getting to showcase her caliber as an actor.

Actors Who Are At The Top Of Their Game

Iffat Omar

Iffat Omar Iffat Omar does very limited projects but whenever she graces the screens, she makes sure to give such performances which stay with the viewers for a long time. Iffat is one of those actors who believes in quality and not quantity, that is why she chooses very few projects every now and then. Iffat Omar has excelled as Laila in Aangan and in Noor ul Ain, her character of Ghazala is the only interesting bit in the otherwise one-dimensional and flat story. Iffat Omar is a very convincing and versatile actor and she has this undeniable screen presence which makes her performances a treat to watch and that is why, we would love to see more of her in the future as well because she chooses very different and unique roles.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Pakistani drama industry is filled with talented actors who are continuously working hard, even after decades of being part of the field, to entertain the viewers with performances which translate the character they are playing on screen impeccably. It is a fact that even with so many talented actors in the industry, there are very few who actually sell a drama; these are the actors who are the USP of a drama and because of whom people tune into these dramas. The reasons for this are many but the most important reason is that these actors always give every role they play their best even if a character is average, they make it likeable with their performance. Another reason is that some of these actors are very particular about the projects they choose to be a part of therefore the viewers have more faith in them. The viewers know that if one of these actors is going to be a part of a drama then that drama will definitely be worth watching and even if the drama as a whole is not impressive, these actors will most certainly deliver.

There are also those actors who haven’t been around for too long and in fact are only newcomers but they impressed the viewers with their debut performances so much that many of the viewers are already waiting anxiously for their next project.

Here is a list of few actors who make a drama a must-watch and the viewers look forward to their upcoming projects.

Humayun Saeed

Humayun Saeed has been a part of the industry for such a long time but over these years he not only proved his mettle as an actor but showed his passion to the drama buffs by opting for different roles every now and then. This is the reason why Humayun Saeed’s work is not only acknowledged but followed by the viewers on such a large scale as they know that if Humayun Saeed is gracing any drama with his presence, it is meant to be good. Even though he has gravitated towards movies now but Dil Lagi marked his return to the dramas after a long time which was well-received by the viewers and showed that even if he was going to do selective work, he was going to make sure it is different and unique.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Saba Qamar

Another big name and star of our industry who believes in selective, different and quality work that is why the moment the news of Saba Qamar’s upcoming drama makes it to the social media, people find themselves waiting for it as they know Saba Qamar’s work is going to guarantee quality entertainment. Saba Qamar is not afraid to experiment and that is why she has earned a lot of credibility over the years by opting for different roles, which represent her vision as an actor who believes in variety. Bunty I Love You, Digest Writer, Sangat, Besharam and Main Sitara are some of Saba’s recent works and all of them were quite popular among the drama viewers which showed Saba Qamar in different sorts of roles.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Noman Ijaz

Noman Ijaz can never wrong with his performance no matter what. He is a skillful performer who knows exactly what is expected from him which is why there is a special place in the hearts of the viewers for him. He has acted in so many dramas but there wasn’t even one instance when he gave a weak performance. His portrayal of a very difficult character in Sang-e-Mar Mar recently impressed the viewers and during the promotions of Khan he was clearly used to sell the drama for obvious reasons.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Sanam Baloch

The biggest regret that Pakistani drama buffs have is that Sanam Baloch doesn’t appear in dramas anymore. Even though her fans get their fix by watching her morning shows but seeing her in dramas used to be a treat within it self. Sanam Baloch was in her glory when she used to work in dramas, that is why in such a short span of time she experimented so much and showed her abilities as an actor. Akbari Asghari, Nadamat, Dastaan, Daam, Manchalay and her last work Kankar, all these dramas had so much variety which showed that Sanam Baloch enjoyed doing all kinds of roles. However, her fans are already excited as she just announced her come back to the dramas and we obviously can not wait.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Mohsin Abbas Haider

Mohsin Abbas Haider’s impression on the viewers completely altered, in a good way, when he made his acting debut in drama serial Muqabil. The singer who some viewers did not even take very seriously, when they saw him performing in Mazak Raat, swept the same viewers off their feet with his mature and remarkable performance as an actor in his debut drama serial. Mohsin Abbas takes his acting career very seriously which is why the passion with which he performs has won him a lot of fans in a short span of time. He is definitely the kind of actor who keeps you entertained and leave you in awe of his performance no matter what the situation in the drama maybe. Everyone who is watching Muqabil is already waiting to see him in another drama.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Sania Saeed

Sania Saeed is another actress who has been around for a very long time but viewers still get excited whenever they see her on screen. She has a unique acting style which always resonates with the viewers. She always looks and acts the role that she is assigned with. Her recent performances in drama serial Tum Yaad Aye, Sang-e-Mar Mar and Sammi were poles apart but she managed to translate all these demanding roles flawlessly on screen. Sania Saeed’s career is an example of the fact that brilliant actors do not have a shelf life.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Imran Abbas

Imran Abbas has made quite a name for himself and he has been a part of Pakistani drama industry for such a long time. Imran Abbas has a massive fandom and he makes sure he brings something new to the table every time he works in a drama. Even in recent years we have seen so much of variety from him and even before the promos make it to the television, his dramas are already highly anticipated as the drama buffs know they are going to be in for a treat. Even though Imran Abbas took a long break for a while as he was working in India but now people are enjoying watching him on their screens in Pakistani dramas again. Dil e Muztar, Alvida, Mera Naam Yousuf Hai, Khuda Aur Mohabbat and currently airing Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai are all of Imran’s recent dramas that did extremely well in terms of popularity because they had Imran Abbas’s name attached to them.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Maya Ali

Maya Ali has a popularity which is undeniable. Maya Ali proved her acting by doing different roles in different dramas. Yes, lately she has given two flop dramas back to back but this is a fact that no matter how the drama itself it, Maya Ali’s association with it brings a lot of attention to it. Maya Ali did similar kinds of roles but then she received a lot of appreciation for her work in blockbuster Diyar e Dil, but after that, her drama choices didn’t do anything good for her but we still have hope in her as she is a very strong actor.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Faysal Qureshi

Faysa Qureshi is a household name. His experience as an actor is huge that is why no matter what he does, it always gets hyped up and the viewers await his drama serials. Faysal Qureshi also likes to experiment with different roles because of which his fans get a lot of variety and they follow his dramas keenly. Bashar Momin and Mol are two of his recent dramas which were followed by a lot of people and both these dramas showed Faysal Qureshi in a completely different light.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Mahira Khan

Mahira Khan has star power and a massive fan following. The fact that she does only one drama in a year makes her one of those actors whose dramas people watch for her more than anything else. Mahira Khan proved herself as a polished actress in drama serial Sadqay Tumhare, her character and acting was the only good thing about Bin Roye. Lately, she is also one of those actors who are either completely loved or severely criticized but the fact is that even those people who don’t approve of her tune into her projects just as often as those who like her.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Saba Hameed

Saba Hameed was always a powerful performer but in the past few years she proved that even when you are around for decades, you can still make an impact and experiment by choosing the right projects and most importantly make people tune into your dramas just by being part of them. Saba Hameed’s performance in Marasim, Guzarish, Dillagi, Khuda Mera Bhi Hai and Muqabil recently showed how versatile she is as an actress. She is also one of those very few actresses who truly live and breathe the characters they play.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Kubra Khan

Model turned actress and despite being new to the drama industry, Kubra Khan is not only lucky but she is quite smart when it comes to her drama choices, because of which she has done so many different dramas and has already proved herself as a good actor with a strong screen presence. In such a short span of time, Kubra Khan has appeared in so many dramas portraying characters that are completely different from one another. Kubra Khan has shown that she is always going to experiment and will never become a victim of typecasting which is commendable. Sang e Marmar, Khuda Aur Mohabbat, Muqabil, Andaz e Sitam are the dramas that Kubra has appeared in and has received a lot of appreciation for. Kubra’s upcoming drama Alif Allah Aur Insaan is already one of the highly anticipated drama of 2017.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Masroor Paras

With only a handful of TV dramas to his credit, Masroor Paras showed what he is capable of especially with his appearance in the recent blockbuster Sang e Marmar. It wasn’t easy portraying a character like Torah Khan but Masroor Paras shone and showed what he is made of when it comes to acting that is why made Torah Khan become the talk of the town. After Sang e Marmar, a lot of viewers are awaiting for his next project as they expect nothing but the best from him.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

Sajal Ali

Sajal Ali has a huge fan base and that is why almost every single drama of hers is well received by the viewers. Sajal Ali is an eye candy and on top of that, she is a very strong actress, that is why irrespective of the nature of the role that she plays, she always gets praised for it. There was a time when Sajal Ali was being typecast and she was doing role which were too mature for her age but with those, she got to prove her acting skills. Chup Raho and Gul e Rana are two of her most-watched dramas in the recent times and her drama Yaqeen Ka Safar which is going to go on air tonight has already garnered a lot of attention already.

Ayeza Khan

Ayeza Khan is one such celebrity that is loved by so many people. Even though Ayeza was a victim of typecasting but ever since her come back she has proved that she can do something new and is enjoying experimenting with different characters. Due to her huge fan base, any drama that has Ayeza Khan in it is already sold before it makes it to the screen because people love watching her and undoubtedly, she has proved her acting skills in all these years too. Tum Kon Piya and Shehrnaz did extremely well and her currently on-air drama Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai is garnering a lot of appreciation already.

Asif Raza Mir

Asif Raza Mir is a legend, we have been watching him for a really long time now. He has a class of his own which is why just watching him perform on screen is a treat. He took the most crucial decision of his acting career by choosing to play the role of a rapist in drama serial Muqabil and is getting tons of appreciation for giving a superb performance which leaves the viewers spellbound every time. He is rarely seen in dramas therefore the viewers look forward to his projects and tune into his plays just to enjoy his presence on screen.

Actors That Sell The Drama With Their Names

So, here’s the list of all those actors that according to us are able to sell the drama with their association with it, because of their top-notch acting, experience and massive fan bases. Please feel free to add more such names of the celebrities that get you excited and make you anticipate their dramas eagerly.

Actors That Didn’t Age Gracefully!

When we speak or think about our senior most artists, we feel like extending respect to them which they definitely are entitled to; given the history of their work but these days it seems that our respected senior artists are working on a sole purpose of defeating the baggage of age they carry with them & seems like they don’t really care what is expected of them.

When I speak about aging gracefully, it is strictly based on the vibes our artists have started to give lately through their outer appearance & their conversations. I am not judging them about what sort of people are they or how good or bad they are but yes I think they must now take a notice of the number that defines them & that is their AGE!

Bushra Ansari:

Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo!

Hands down, she tops the list undisputedly. Whether it’s her over or under dressing in Pakistan Idol, her over the top hairstyles or 20 layers of foundation & makeup, she has started to over-do things a bit (read a lot). I know she made the place in our hearts with her sense of humour & comic timing but I think she now wants to amuse people through her get-ups as well & now that’s taking a humour to another level. Seems like she takes it very seriously therefore we see her making hideous choices in terms of styling that may or may not, mostly may not suit her.

Bushra Ansari

Javed Sheikh:

Rangeen Mizaji at it’s peak!

According to a morning show host, when she questioned Javed Sheikh about what’s he going to do if he ever gets locked up in the elevator with Meera & Reema, the senior artist replied ‘he wouldn’t have to do anything as the ladies would do the honours (toot toot toot toot)’. I thought his flamboyancy was restricted to his conversations only but seems like he has fallen in the league of those who just do not choose to age & gracefully at that. He has spent his life like a Casanova but I think it’s better to use the remaining energies on teaching his kids about acting as that’s a massive task he has on his hands & in his home as a household chore.

Javed Sheikh

Shakeel:

Shauqeen Shaquille!

Whether it’s about the changing colors like seasons on his face or naming himself as Shaquille, this particular uncle has started to look too over-the-top lately. From pulling off a Salt & Pepper signature look of Amitabh Bachchan (Black Hair, White Beard) to playing Holi on his beard, uncle is trying really hard to impress but I think if he works on his acting at the given point in time, he will impress the audience but seems like he is so busy looking in the mirror that he has no energy left to look into the Camera & deliver what’s required of him in terms of acting.

Shakeel

Mahnoor Baloch:

Turning 60’s into 16!

I know, may be around decades of dieting & what-not has made her look young & beautiful but seems like she is too keen on making a statement before she hits her sweet 60’s. Unfortunately, we saw her pulling off all the Beyonce/Katrina/JLo-like ensembles in her recent film. She is one of those who just don’t get a point that as much as her weighing machine pulls a lower number, her age counter keeps on accelerating.

Mahnoor Baloch
I know all these actors have worked tremendously & have played a major role in giving this industry a recognition & there is nothing wrong in looking attractive but I think it’s better to be decent than amusing. Feel free to contribute to the list & share your thoughts on how much do you feel they need to work on representing the country they belong to!

Keep Supporting,
Cheers,
Zahra Mirza.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

It takes a lot of factors for an actor to leave a mark and make a name for themselves in the drama industry where there is a lot of cutthroat competition. The show-business demands every single actor to up their game if they want to survive and want to touch the stardom they dream of. An actor is under a lot of pressure, both from the industry and the audience for whom they work, that is why it is extremely important for an actor to do well to attract the viewership and bring something new to the table every single time. Where a few actors do well in that regard, there are a lot such actors who fail to deliver what is expected from them. It then comes down to the actor’s personal choice as to which direction do they want to steer their career to – if they want to experiment and offer variety to the audience or want to stick to their comfort zones by getting typecast for the roles they deem easy.

Where last week we covered those actors who could sell the drama with their names, this week, we are covering those actors who despite being talented, despite being a part of the industry for a decent amount of time and despite getting a lot of opportunities, couldn’t up their game in such a way where they could sell a drama with their names solely. Make no mistake, all the actors mentioned in this list are subjectively talented and good looking individuals but when it comes to their job as an actor, they haven’t really been able to bring themselves to such a point where the audience would be excited enough to look forward to their work.

So, let’s take a look at the actors who cannot sell the drama with their names:

Aisha Khan

There was a time when the viewers used to look forward to Aisha Khan’s projects and the producers openly claimed that her tears guaranteed TRPs. Nowadays when Pakistani viewers look for strong female leads and appreciate actresses who are willing to go the extra mile to make their characters more appealing, Aisha Khan’s unnecessary make-up, performances which are more or less monotonous and focus on quantity instead of quality are few reasons why Aisha Khan is no longer the kind of actress who can sell a drama anymore all on her own. The fact is that most people would like to see Aisha Khan taking a break from dramas.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Mawra Hocane

Mawra Hocane is one of those actresses who have been typecast the most. She has played the bechari in innumerable plays and she herself says that crying is her USP. She has never taken up a challenging role therefore the viewers know that she won’t have a surprise in store for them. Most of the times her dramas went unnoticed and even now when she made a comeback after taking a break from television, she wasn’t the reason why viewers tuned into Sammi.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Syra Yousuf

Syra Yousuf did really well in the beginning of her career because she played roles which proved her versatility but later on she played the lead in many dramas which turned out to be major disappointments. Dramas like Darmiyan, Rubaru and recently Rishta Hai Jaise Khawab Sa send all the wrong signals; it was almost as if Syra Yousuf was working in every project offered to her without considering how it could effect her career in a bad manner. Syra Yousuf’s name no longer excites the viewers the way it used to once.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Danish Taimoor

Danish Taimoor is another actor who is actually quite gifted but anyone who has been following Pakistani dramas would know that Danish Taimoor has given very few memorable performances in his career. Due to this reason, Danish Taimoor hasn’t been able to win the reputation of an actor who can sell a drama serial all on his own. He is still looking for a definite identity in the field of entertainment even after all these years which is probably why he does not have that magnetic appeal which pulls the viewers towards him.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Armeena Rana Khan

Although Armeena Rana Khan is not seen on television very often but even then her name doesn’t guarantee that the viewers will watch her dramas only because of her. The reason for this is that Armeena Rana Khan has limited acting skills because of which she does not bring the X factor with her when she is part of a project. She barely manages to deliver therefore her performances are almost always unimpressive. Armeena Rana also concentrates more on her looks than her performance which is also off putting. The only exception in her entire career was her performance in drama serial Mohabbat Ab Nahi Ho Gi.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Adnan Siddique

Despite being such an experienced actor, Adnan Siddique fails to accept that gone are the days when he could pull off a main lead character in any drama. After being a part of the drama industry for such a long time and after being well aware of the ins and outs of the industry, it was expected of Adnan Siddique to make wise choices and offer variety to the drama viewers, but looks like Adnan is afraid of experimenting be it in terms of his looks or roles, therefore, he conveniently chooses to play such characters where either he has failed as a husband or he has been wronged by his wife. Adnan Siddique has nothing new to offer and he chooses to stick to his comfort zone, which is playing the role of a lethargic husband to perfection, which actually makes the viewers run away from his dramas.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Sarwat Gillani

Sarwat Gillani used to excite the viewers because everyone knew that she was one such actress who wasn’t afraid of experimenting and always brought something new to the table but looks like Sarwat has taken her stardom and her talent for granted, that is why it has been such a long time that Sarwat gave us an unforgettable performance in a memorable drama. Almost all of Sarwat’s recent projects have gone unnoticed because she was seen playing the damsel in distress, which was so not expected of her. We still remember how Sarwat made us fall in love with her character Mahi in Malal, like we know that is what she is capable of but, not sure what has happened to her choices.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Sami Khan

Sami Khan has been in the industry for such a long time but not sure if the luck was not on his side or he never made wise choices because in a considerable span of his career, he has hardly given any such performance that can be remembered. Looks like when Ahsan Khan made the transition and started exploring the actor in him, he crowned his colleague Sami Khan with the title of ‘Naqaam Ashiq’ that Ahsan Khan held onto for a long long time, that is why in almost every other drama now, Sami Khan is seen portraying that role with utmost dedication. When it comes to a Sami Khan drama, it is a known fact that it is going to be a love story going around in circles, without anything new in it, therefore it seems like a great idea to skip his dramas because of his track record, Sami Khan surely cannot sell the drama with his name.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Hira Mani

We totally believe that Hira Mani is a strong actress and she has proved her mettle in the drama Preet Na Kariyo Koi, but sadly, due to her talk shows and appearances on morning shows, Hira has left such a bad impression on the viewers that they find it hard to give her a chance as her personality still haunts them. The viewers tend to not tune to her dramas as they can not differentiate between Hira the actor and Hira the celebrity. Even though Hira Mani is a great addition to the industry but sadly, the damage has been done and viewers don’t want to give those dramas a chance that she is a part of.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Agha Ali

Agha Ali has made himself a staple in the supporting cast lot of the Pakistani drama industry. Despite trying so hard and despite getting a lot of chances, Agha Ali couldn’t sell the drama solely, that is why he is seen playing the supporting role or is paired with an actress who has a better reputation (read fanbase) than him. Even though Agha Ali has appeared in quite a few dramas as the protagonist but those dramas were the ones that either aired at 7, 9 or 10PM. Agha Ali has remained unsuccessful in doing well in the 8PM slot, which actually is the prime time of glory for the Pakistani Drama buffs. Also, even if Agha by mistake appeared in a prime time drama, sadly, he just didn’t have it in him to attract the audience.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Urwa Hocane

Even though Urwa has garnered a lot of appreciation for her role in Udaari, but if we think rationally, Udaari was basically a joint effort and Urwa wasn’t the selling point of that drama in the first place. Quite a lot of viewers in fact were hesitant to tune to Udaari because of her but fortunately, Ahsan Khan, Samiya Mumtaz and Bushra Ansari roped them in. Before Udaari, Urwa did work in quite a few dramas but failed to leave a mark because just like her baby sister, even she believed in crying buckets to melt the hearts of the viewers, which eventually ended up being something that ticked the viewers off. Urwa might be doing well for herself but to be honest, she won’t be able to sell the drama as a protagonist as she lacks the charm and attraction that the lead actress should have. In Marasim, Urwa performed phenomenally but then again, she wasn’t the main character in that drama.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Shehzad sheikh

Shehzad sheikh‘s acting skills have improved a lot lately so much so that those people who never used to tune into his dramas have been appreciating his performance in drama serial Choti Si Zindagi and Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai. Although he has improved tremendously but his career is crowded with below average performances because of which the viewers usually choose to skip a drama in which he is playing the leading role or if there aren’t other popular celebrities to give the viewers incentive to tune into a particular project which he is a part of.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Shaista Lodhi

Shaista Lodhi made her debut in dramas with Waada. Unlike Hira Mani who impressed the viewers with her solid performance in her debut drama, Shaista Lodhi failed to impress the viewers. Shaista Lodhi did not succeed in giving the right expressions because of all the plastic surgeries she got done in the past few years. The close-ups were terrible and her performance overall was not impressive at all. She is going to be one of those actresses who are the reason why people actually skip dramas!

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Sana Javed

Sana Javed has a cute face and her acting is alright too but in her entire career she has not given even one performance which could pass as memorable or unforgettable. Sana Javed is always seen in mediocre dramas and her characters most often are more or less the same. Even when she was part of big projects with popular stars, she failed to get herself recognized the way many other actors do with their remarkable performances.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

Shahroz Sabzwari

There are some actors who bring out the best in the roles assigned to them and then there are those who don’t have the screen presence or the ability to make their work stand out. Shahroz Sabzwari is one of those actors who usually gets overshadowed by his fellow actors because he has never given a performance which completely bowls you over. His character in Mana Ka Gharana was likeable but even then he did not make the most of it. Shahroz’s acting style is not versatile, he usually works more on his overall look than his performances. Although he has been part of many dramas but he isn’t the kind of actor who will give you a reason to watch his drama solely because of him.

Actors That Cannot Sell The Drama With Their Names

So, with this, we conclude the list of those actors who cannot sell the dramas with their names in our opinion. Please feel free to add your say too and talk about those actors who make you skip their dramas.

Fatima Awan & Zahra Mirza.

Few days ago A Hindu Girl Nimrata Kumari was suspeciously found dead at her apartment room on which it was said that it was a suicide but the girl ‘s family and close friends are of the view that it is a murder and they have filed the case. There has also been an attack in temple on Ghotki’s Hindu Community.

The Hindu Community is of the view that in Karachi hindus live happily but in interior sindh things are different. Despite all these things we Muslims actually are standing with our Hindu brothers and we more than them want inquiry and justice in all matters.

During a rapid fire session, the couple was asked which actress and actor can play their roles if a biopic is made on their lives.

Actors Chosen By Samina Ahmed And Manzar Sehbai To Play Their Younger Selves

To this they deliberated and decided that Manzar Sahab’s role can be taken up by Sheheryar Munawar who has already played his younger version in the film Khel Khel Mein while Yumna Zaidi will sit nicely in Samina Ahmed’s role. They thought of Sajal too but Samina Jee thought that Yumna will look more like her.

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen – List of 8

There are actors and actresses we like and mostly love to watch their dramas on screen. But the truth is you cannot even watch your favourite if he or she starts appearing in every second project. It gets annoying watching the same face over and over again. The whole overdosage scenario takes you to a point where you cannot differentiate between two projects the star is in. Here are some actors and actresses who are choosing far more projects and consequently are causing overdosage of themselves to the viewers:

Iqra Aziz:

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen - List of 8

Iqra Aziz has gotten a lot of success in relatively shorter time. She is getting a lot of projects and seems like she is accepting nearly every offer coming her way. She is seen in Khamoshi and Tabeer on HUM TV now while on ARY her Qurban recently concluded. With so many projects sometimes it becomes difficult to keep track of her performance and what happens is the overdosage of a single face in every second drama.

Aiman Khan:

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen - List of 8

Aiman has a unique style of performance and unfortunately, she does not change her style for different characters. Now she is starring in four dramas on television and the with a similar style keeping track and remaining hooked becomes an issue. She is starring in Kaif e Baharan and Ghar Titli Ka Par on Geo Entertainment, Ishq Tamasha on HUM TV and the recently started Bedardi on ARY. Aiman should also take a break from doing so many projects so that her audience can enjoy watching her and can relate to a character she is playing.

Affan Waheed:

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen - List of 8

Affan Waheed is also causing quite an overdosage with multiple appearances in dramas. His looks and dialogue delivery are same in nearly every play he does and consequently his multiple appearances can become a bit unbearable. With Khamoshi, Bedardi and Kahan Ho Tum, Affan also seems like accepting every other project coming his way.

Junaid Khan:

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen - List of 8

The singer turned actor has a very stiff acting style and he spots the same in nearly all of his projects since he gets the similar ameer bacha running a business kind of roles in every drama. After the conclusion of Tumhari Maryam recently on HUM TV, Ishq Tamasha started. He is also being seen in Silsilay, the recently started Khasara and promos are already up for Thays on A-Plus.

Shehroz Sabzwari:

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen - List of 8

Shehroz Sabzwari has also done multiple projects in the past year continuing in 2018. Unfortunately, none of the projects he has done has struck a chord with the audience. The reason is the monotony he has in playing different characters and his choice of projects also need some improvement. From Shikwa Nahin Kissi Se, Begangi, Teri Raza, Zard Zamanon Ka Sawera to the recently started Seep, Shehroz has been seen in multiple projects too.

There are some actors who are doing multiple projects at the same time or back to back without any break but they still are making the viewers hooked to their performances and so they need a special mention:

Sami Khan:

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen - List of 8

We have seen Sami in so many projects in the last year and this year too and he has not caused a feeling of overdosage despite appearing in so many projects. He has been phenomenal and none of his characters looked similar. There has been a string of plays from Mushrik, Rasm e Duniya, To Dil Ka Kya Hua, Aisi Hai Tanhai, Khudgarz and now Woh Mera Dil Tha and Sami has kept his audience captivated and wanting more.

Amina Sheikh:

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen - List of 8

We have seen Amina in two dramas side by side that also on the same channel. Amina is a powerhouse and knows how to keep two characters non-similar for not making the audience confused and bored. Both of her characters Ayera in Khudgarz and Sofia in Nibah looked different and she was able to make the audience enjoy the respective plays. She also starred in Cake recently and her character was so different from her other work. She not only played it flawlessly but also didn’t cause the feeling that you already are seeing her in dramas and now the silver screen too. She kept both of the places differentiated and compact.

Zahid Ahmed:

Actors Causing Overdosage On Screen - List of 8

Zahid Ahmed also does non-stop projects. But he has an eye for unique projects plus he knows how to make the portrayal of different characters differentiated from each other. He played Shuja in recently concluded Daldal while at the same time around we saw him in Tau Dil Ka Kya Hua. He is now playing Sarang in Pukaar and Akku in Visaal which both are airing on the same channel but Zahid always manages to keep his characters differentiated which results in the audience loving his dramas.
