Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida is getting popular acclaim even though it is a blatant copy of the Bollywood film Judai. By airing dramas such as Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida and Zebaish, HUM has started a new trend of dramas which are over the top and at times ridiculous. Pakistani dramas are known worldwide because of their realistic approach. There are many viewers from across the borders who appreciate this quality because their local dramas are known for going overboard. Unfortunately, Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida is turning out to be a serial which isn’t a comedy play but there are so many scenarios which make it impossible for the viewers to relate to whatever is going on. While such over the top and unrealistic scenarios might work on the big screen, they are uncalled for when the producers are tackling with a rather serious issue on the small screen.

The story of the drama revolves around an immature woman Ulfat who dreams of being rich. She is materialistic and apparently would do anything to get the wealth she wants. The character is a lot like Mehwish from Mere Pass Tum Ho but the big exception is that while Mere Pass Tum Ho gave a serious treatment to the topic; Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida’s take on the subject is outrageous. There are so many times when the story and the scenarios make no sense whatsoever. Although, those viewers who are watching the show know by now that they should not expect anything extraordinary from this drama but even then the lack of common sense while writing and directing the play is baffling. The drama is getting more obnoxious with every passing episode. If it was promoted as a comedy drama perhaps viewers would have been more welcoming of the  idiosyncrasies.

Here are 5 times when Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida went completely over the top.

Shafaq’s Superpowers

All the scenarios which led Shafaaq to fall for Shahan proved one thing that Shafaq is really desperate for love. She found Shahaan cute and attractive for no obvious reason since there is nothing cute about a grown up man acting like a tween. Not only is Shafaq desperate for love and in need of an adventure but she also has superpowers. Somehow she knew that the prize bond she was giving Ulfat had the winning number on it. Anyone who is familiar with how prize bonds work would agree that no one can know something like this beforehand.

Ulfat and Her Friends on the Nikkah

Sonya Hussyn and the director have given Ulfat’s character such an exaggerated spin that almost all of the scenes in which Ulfat is excited are over the top. The nikkah scene in particular did not look like a scene from a Pakistani drama. Ulfat’s entry with Shafaq and the expressions of her friends during the nikkah were exaggerated to the extent of being annoying.

The Change in Shafaq

Everyone who is watching this drama knows that Shafaq falling for Shahaan was the most illogical part of the story. Even if we somehow believe that Shafaq was so desperate for love that she fell for a married man, the change in Shafaq after marriage has been overdone just like everything else. She chose to do the chores instead of hiring a maid with all the money she has. All of a sudden Shafaq is not just another a ordinary homemaker but someone who can do cleaning and cooking. Not only this her styling and dressing sense went out of the window as soon as she married Shahaan. Unless looking exactly like Ulfat was part of her plan too, Shafaq’s newfound lack of fashion sense is unexplainable.

Ulfat’s Celebrations after Winning the Lottery

Since there is no basic concept of timeline or reality in the drama, after winning the lottery, the over the top celebrations were in process within minutes. The way these celebrations were covered was unbelievable. Everything from Ulfat’s entry to the change in her personality was beyond ridiculous. Forever clueless Shahaan had no idea what was going on even though such celebrations would normally require a lot of labor and time!

As if this was not enough Ulfat bought a house and a car like someone else would shop for clothes. When she left the showroom in her new car, she did not only have a driver too but also a guard with a gun in the back!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl2AQL8-bZU&t=4m51s

When Ulfat moved into her new house, her mother-in-law commented that all the servants in the house were going to do the chores. So, we are guessing that just like she got a driver and a guard free with the car, she must have been given house help too when she bought the house!

The Change in Ulfat after Getting Rich

Ulfat’s sense of style and the way she speaks English is not only over the top but highly unbelievable. It seems like Ulfat changed personalities with Shafaq. Although there are many times when her real personality takes over the fake one but even then the fake personality is nowhere close to reality.

It remains to be seen now that how long Ulfat will continue spending the money she has. If the director and the writer continue to be as illogical with their approach as they have been so far then it will probably last her a long time! We are pretty sure that we will be seeing many more illogical and over the top situations and scenes in the upcoming episodes too. If the makers wanted to give a comic spin to the show, they should have chosen another theme. The theme revolving around a woman selling her husband might have worked for cinema in 1997 but this is 2020 when actresses who call themselves die-hard feminists should not even choose to be part of such projects. And then there is Zahid Ahmed who repeatedly plays the lead role in substandard dramas and then apologizes for the error in judgment. It is sad to see our top actors settling for such projects.

The Islamabad ‘Meeting’

When Mehwish decided to lie to Danish so that she could attend a ‘meeting’ with Shehwar in Islamabad, the viewers couldn’t have guessed that they will end up doing the unthinkable. Even though Mehwish’s interest in Shehwar was crystal clear by this time but no one expected her to go all the way with Shehwar all of a sudden. This ‘meeting’ in Islamabad was shown in such a way that the viewers kept on wondering what happened there. Mehwish’s change of clothes and the twin bedrooms raised a lot of questions.

Even then when the truth was revealed, people were shocked. Mehwish’s character was always negative but this development changed viewers’ perspective about her character altogether. Most viewers did not expect better from Shehwar but they were not expecting Mehwish to betray Danish in this way.

This ‘meeting’ was the most talked about scene in the drama. It left the viewers questioning and wondering. Later on when the truth was revealed, it was more shocking than surprising!

The Airport Scene and Aftermath

When Danish found out that Mehwish had actually lied to him and he went to the airport to pick her, most viewers were expecting an angry reaction. Danish’s reaction was emotional but quite contrary to expectations. Same was the case with Mehwish. Mehwish and Danish’s reactions surprised the viewers. Mehwish had no remorse, she tried to cover up. Danish on the other hand blamed himself. The fact that Danish was even willing to let this one go came as a surprise to many.

Humayun Saeed had already explained that the viewers should not expect typical reactions from Danish but even then his reaction surprised everyone. It was this reaction which also once again made the viewers feel for Danish.

The Final Goodbye

The viewers had already guessed that Mehwish was going to leave Danish but the way this final goodbye was shown came as a surprise to many. This was indeed the real twist in the story. Viewers couldn’t have imagined that Danish would let Mehwish go like that. The way this important development was covered in Mere Pass Tum Ho took the viewers completely by surprise. It was also shown convincingly.

After looking at the pictures and most importantly listening to Mehwish’s conversation with Shehwar Danish decided that letting his wife go was the only thing to do. Those scenes covering the final goodbye, the anniversary and ultimately the situation leading to that 2 takay ki aurat dialogue made the viewers rejoice. This change in Danish was surprising for sure.

Mehwish and Shehwar’s Relationship

Most of the viewers were wondering what the relationship status between Shehwar and Mehwish was going to be since she left home with Shehwar right after the divorce. Mere Pass Tum Ho once again took a bold turn and surprised the viewers. Shehwar and Mehwish were shown sharing a house and in a relationship without a nikkah for months. This gave rise to a lot of criticism as well. Many people thought that the drama was giving the wrong message.

There were also those people who thought that Mehwish deserved this status because she did not deserve to be given respect in any way. Such scenarios are usually not shown in Pakistani dramas therefore it was a total surprise for the viewers.

The Surprise Entry

For the longest time the viewers were wondering and speculating who was going to be Shehwar’s wife. The team did not give any clues and the information on Wikipedia was misleading. When Savera Nadeem entered the drama as Shehwar’s wife, the viewers were pleasantly surprised. No one was expecting Savera Nadeem to be part of this project. Savera Nadeem does few dramas every year but this year she also had a special surprise for her fans. This latest surprise piqued the interest of the viewers more than ever. Everyone was waiting for Shehwar’s wife to make an appearance but no one could have even imagined that Savera Nadeem will be playing this role.

Mere Pass Tum Ho continues to surprise its viewers even now. Which surprise did you like the best so far? Did you also think that Mere Pass Tum Ho would be a typical play but it totally caught you off guard? Share your views in the comments section.

Humayun Saeed’s outstanding performance in Mere Pass Tum Ho has left the viewers in awe of him. Although usually in dramas, the heroines make the viewers feel for them. In Mere Pass Tum Ho the situation is completely opposite. Humayun Saeed’s character Danish goes through hell after his wife betrays him. The character has been written in such a way that viewers feel for him. Humayun Saeed’s acting is so apt that there have been many times when the viewers have cried with him. He always makes the viewers feel everything Danish is going through. This is the real success of an actor when viewers feel the pain he is trying to enact on screen. Humayun Saeed has a vast career therefore making his mark after giving so many amazing performances is no easy feat. One of the biggest reasons for this is that the script of Mere Pass Tum Ho is really close to his heart. He lived this character off screen while reading the script before portraying it on screen. This has made all the difference. When Danish cries, viewers cry with him. His helplessness makes the viewers root for him.

Here are 5 Times when Humayun Saeed made the viewers cry in Mere Pass Tum Ho.

First Shock

The scene after Danish picks Mehwish up from the airport after finding out that she had gone to Islamabad was a powerful scene which became even more emotional because of Humayun Saeed’s superb performance. This was a shock for Danish, who trusted Mehwish completely. The way Danish blamed himself while Humayun Saeed’s expressions clearly showed he was in pain and in denial was the best part of this scene. Through this scene Humayun Saeed proved that sometimes expressions speak louder than dialogues. Whatever Danish said was not supported by his expressions. The viewers could feel Danish’s pain and the credit for that goes to Humayun Saeed.

The Bitter Reality Check

Humayun Saeed has played the role of larger than life hero in many of his recent projects. In order to make Danish’s character look human-like on screen Humayun Saeed had to give this performance his best and he did just that. Even the director Nadeem Baig wasn’t sure if Humayun Saeed would be able to deliver. But then viewers saw how easily he let go of the hero avatar and played the helpless male protagonist with utmost clarity. This conversation between Shehwar and Danish is unforgettable for all those viewers who have been watching Mere Pass Tum Ho. The flushed look on Humayun Saeed’s face, his dry lips and his body language in this scene made the viewers cry with him. Everyone who watched this episode felt Danish’s pain. It was best acting by both these actors which made this scene memorable. This was also the most emotional scene of Mere Pass Tum Ho.

One Last Try

Before letting Mehwish go Danish tries to perhaps make her realize that his life won’t sail smoothly after she left. Humayun Saeed made the most of yet another scene which showed just how clueless Danish was. These simple questions were asked in the most innocent way. Humayun Saeed nailed the expressions in this scene. He sounded casual but his expressions told a different story.

The Final Goodbye

Humayun Saeed’s acting was at its best in episode 12 of Mere Pass Tum Ho. This was the episode in which Danish decides that he needs to let Mehwish go. Humayun Saeed breathed such tangible life into these scenes that every single expression showed the pain his character was going through. His body language in this scene when Mehwish leaves with Shehwar is amazing. Those tears look real and the pain even more so. He drags himself to the bed to lay down beside Rumi as if there is no life left in him. Humayun Saeed was showered with praise after his performance in this particular episode. Even those viewers who did not feel for Danish until this point, cried with him. This scene is one of the most iconic thanks to Humayun Saeed’s brilliant acting.

The Helplessness

Mehwish apologized in episode 19 of Mere Pass Tum Ho by calling Danish and telling him that she wanted him to take her back. This conversation between Mehwish and Danish after such a long time was made even more intense because of Danish’s dialogues and Humayun Saeed’s acting. He made sure that every single dialogue was delivered in such a way that it showed his characters true feelings. Danish’s helplessness and seeing how he still remembered everything as if it was yesterday made the viewers cry. Humayun Saeed did a remarkable job here.

Which scenes covering Danish’s pain made you cry? Isn’t it amazing how someone with a personality like that of Humayun Saeed portrayed such a character so flawlessly on screen. Were you expecting Humayun Saeed to do this well? We feel that no other actor could have played this role better than Humayun. This has to be the best role of his entire career. What do you think?

Agha Ali and Hina Altaf’s marriage came as a surprise to most people. In fact, Agha and Hina themselves even today have a tough time realizing that they are now married! They also faced a lot of criticism because of Agha’s prior relationship with Sarah Khan. Well, the good thing was that people started liking this couple once they got to know them better. Although Hina and Agha both are equally famous, their marriage turned into a controversy because people thought Agha had broken Sarah Khan’s heart. Now that Sarah Khan is happily married, the dust is settled and everyone has accepted this newly married couple. Until now, Hina and Agha refrained from giving interviews. They made their first appearance in Nida Yasir’s show because Nida has been an important part of Agha Ali’s journey as a celebrity. In this show, the couple revealed many interesting details.

They also talked about how they fell in love and what is that they love about each other the most. Here are those 5 things which attracted this couple towards each other and they decided to get married.

Agha Ali Loves Hina’s ‘Mysterious’ Nature

Agha Ali shared in his first interview after the marriage that even today he finds it hard to believe that they are actually married. He said that if he had to mention one thing which became the reason why he chose Hina as his wife, it would be that Hina knows when to get candid with people and when to keep her distance. The fact that Hina does not reveal her personality to everyone, attracted Agha towards him. Her reserved nature appealed to Agha. Hina was like a mystery for Agha, once she revealed her personality to him, he liked her even more.

Hina Altaf Adores & Respects Agha’s Personality

Hina made it quite clear that apart from love there was a lot of adoration and respect which she felt for Agha Ali. She said that it is so important to keep on reminding each other why you fell in love and got married. Hina is absolutely in love with the kind of person Agha is. She thinks she can never be as good a person as her husband because he has so many great qualities like he is truthful and loyal.

They Can Relate To Each Others Struggles

Hina and Agha both have struggled a lot to get where they are today. When they started talking to one another, they could relate to each other’s journeys because they had faced similar situations. In the beginning, most of their conversations were about their struggles which became something that brought them close. Both of them are self-made and independent individuals and that is what makes them compatible.

Both of Them Want The Same Things

Hina and Agha’s outlook towards life is the same even though the first time they met on the sets, they did not even talk to each other. Two people who thought they would not even get along ended up falling in love and getting married. This happened because they realized that they were soulmates. When asked if Hina and Agha regretted having a simple wedding, they shared that they always wanted such a wedding. Agha said that although he would have liked a few more people there at the wedding he was happy with the way things went because he liked things simple and Hina is the same.

Not only this, but they also love playing games together and there are so many other activities which they have in common. Apart from that, Agha respects the fact that Hina is a working woman who wants to continue working, he would never stop Hina from pursuing her career.

Hina Altaf Loves Agha’s Sense of Humor

The one thing which attracted Hina towards Agha, in the beginning, was his sense of humor. Hina’s first impression of Agha was that he is a really serious person who probably gets upset easily. When they started interacting, she was surprised to know that Agha had a great sense of humor. He always made Hina laugh and that is the reason why she decided to spend the rest of her life with him. For Hina, a good sense of humor was really important always and she found just that in Agha. She knows that this man can make me laugh at any given time which is the kind of relief she wants every single day in order to make life more enjoyable.

Hina and Agha are soul mates who met each other at the right time. We wish them a happy life together.

For the past many years, we have been waiting to watch Pakistani dramas that diverged from the conventional family politics narrative. The year 2023 proved to be the year when the producers and writers finally introduced new themes in Pakistani dramas. This pivotal year became synonymous with innovation as the industry ventured beyond the familiar, giving viewers who want to watch such dramas enough options to choose from.

All of these attempts were not successful but they can definitely be regarded as a much-needed step in the right direction. These dramas broadened the scope of Pakistani dramas and few of them were exceptionally well-executed as well.

Empowered and Nuanced Female Characters

The bechari aurat has been sold to viewers for many years now. This trend became a norm and even the producers defended it multiple times. The writers were also convinced that the viewers wanted to see women suffering in dramas. We only got to watch strong female characters every now and then. This year, the most refreshing change had to be many empowered female characters in dramas in leading and supporting roles. These characters were layered, well-written and quite a few of them were inspirational as well.

The viewers watched these empowered female characters taking charge of their destinies, breaking barriers, and challenging societal expectations. Their journeys were realistic and each one of them redefined the term empowerment in their own way. This refreshing development is an important step towards a more inclusive and representative era in storytelling, where the richness of women’s experiences is celebrated and acknowledged with the prominence it deserves.

Razia from the mini-series Razia, Zimal from Neem, Shamim and Ayesha from Kabli Pulao, Sofia and Alia from Kuch Ankahi and so many more represented empowered women from different walks of life.

Complex and Unorthodox Male Characters

This year there has been a notable and commendable shift in the portrayal of male characters as well, redefining the very essence of what constitutes a ‘hero.’ While there were still many dramas that banked on the rich and spoiled brats as heroes, there were many others with atypical heroes who possessed distinctive qualities that set them apart. These heroes presented a more diverse and layered representation of masculinity.

Haji Mushtaq from Kabli Pulao definitely takes the lead in this regard since as an unconventional hero he received more love and appreciation than any other. There were many other such characters shown in supporting roles as well. Mannu from Razia, Jeevan Nagar’s Babbar Shah, and a majority of the male characters in Meher Mah fall in the same category as well. Gulzar is another such male lead from Idiot.

Unusual and Meaningful Love Stories

Every story and plot in Pakistani dramas has always had a love story or stories of some kind. However, we rarely get to watch love stories that deviate from the norm. This year, for a change, there were multiple such tracks in dramas. These stories were unlike any other we have seen on our screens before.

The story of young love took center stage in Muhabbat Gumshuda Meri, Haji Mushtaq, Barbeena and Shamim’s love triangle From Kabli Pulao, Shazil, Zimal, and Ashhad’s track was another one which deserves a mention here and then there is Tumharey Husn Ke Naam which has presented an old school love story. Qadar and Hammad’s track from Tinkay Ka Sahara is another example of how love stories were redefined in dramas this year.

I must say that this trend started gradually but it definitely reached its pinnacle this year.

Redefining the Role of Police Officers

This year, we got to see a more diverse, nuanced, and positive representation of police officers in Pakistani dramas. For the longest time, police officers have been stereotyped in our dramas but this year we got to witness multiple such characters which were either a nuanced or a positive representation.

Interestingly enough, there were also multiple dramas in which these officers either played one of the leading roles or were important supporting characters that stood out for all the right reasons. Jhok Sarkar, Pinjra, Tinkay Ka Sahara, Gunah, and many other dramas showed a different side of police officers.

Stories Revolving around Children

In Pakistani dramas, mental health, both in a general context and specifically concerning children, has been a subject that received minimal attention over the years. Despite the fact that some of this year’s dramas that centered around this crucial subject did not fully meet expectations, they undeniably served as platforms to initiate important discussions.

Pinjra definitely tops the list because it attempted to highlight  different aspects of mental health and highlighted many parental pitfalls. Idiot addresses more or less the same issue among many others. Daur and Apney Hee Tou Hein were two other dramas this year that had important tracks revolving around children. Mayi Ri would fall into the same category as well even though it failed to do justice to the theme.

Final Remarks

This shift in themes and trends suggests a growing awareness among the producers and storytellers. They understand the need to explore a broader range of subjects that resonate with a more diverse audience. Green TV Entertainment definitely played the leading role in breaking these barriers. However, we still have a long way to go since many of these dramas lacked entertainment and engagement value and some of them even lost the plot in the middle.

Which themes and trends in 2023 Pakistani dramas did you find most refreshing? Share your thoughts.

Pakistani dramas have evolved over the years in more ways than one. There are certain elements of present-day dramas that irk the viewers for all the right reasons. The focus on getting higher ratings and cashing in on the popularity of these dramas has affected the quality of Pakistani dramas in general. However, every year we still get to watch dramas that do not only provide quality entertainment but can easily be termed as classics. These dramas are at par with the evergreen drama serials of the time that was considered the golden era of Pakistani dramas.

This season, Parizaad is one such drama that has captivated the viewers who long to watch something unique. There are so many aspects of this drama that set it apart from the crowd. It has attracted even those viewers who had given up on Pakistani dramas altogether. Parizaad is also a drama unlike any other. It has so much going for it that it is the center of attention and discussion on every forum. The best part is that the channel or the producers did not even have to go out of their way to ‘market’ the drama. Parizaad’s script has been penned down by Hashim Nadeem, it is based on his novel with the same title. It has been directed by Shehzad Kashmiri and produced by Momina Duraid.

Here are 5 reasons why our drama makers should produce more dramas such as Parizaad:

Unique Script

Most Pakistani dramas nowadays revolve around love stories – most often love triangles. Others focus on family issues, mainly saas bahu stories or the problems related to marital life. There are also those that bank heavily on negative or black and white characters. And then there is the bechari aurat who is shown getting humiliated constantly in these dramas. Parizaad has none of that! The writer Hashim Nadeem has penned down a script that is unique in so many ways. Although this is a serial but the way the characters come and go gives it the engaging factors which the series have.

The writer has definitely laid down the foundations for a brand new genre by doing so. Most often, certain characters that are part of the story are part of it right till the end. In Parizaad however, some of the characters are constant, others come, do what needs to be done and then they leave. This makes the storyline unique and even more appealing. Apart from this, the writer has not used any of the done-to-death scenarios to entice the viewers. Parizaad’s story at some level represents the story of every individual out there who has ever dared to dream.

An Unusual Protagonist

In an era when young and good-looking heroes and heroines are considered as the basic requirement of any drama serial at all, Parizaad has broken all stereotypes by introducing a male protagonist who is unlike any other. Also, most of the drama serials revolve around women because the producers insist that is the only way to entice their female audience and that is where they get their ratings from. Parizaad’s male lead’s success and the fact that people are absolutely in love with this character has definitely redefined the general concept of the main protagonist in Pakistani dramas. It goes to show that the viewers want to watch real people’s stories on screen. A protagonist does not have to be eye candy or a toxic man, which is most often the case. More dramas should have protagonists such as Parizaad who does not only break stereotypes but also sets the bar high.

Real people have struggles and their journeys are unpredictable as is the case with Parizaad. Parizaad’s strong characterizations should serve as an inspiration for all those writers who are busy writing black and white characters. Mostly, the portrayal of men in our dramas is restricted to reinforcing clichés or they are used as a caricature. It is such a pleasant change to have a male protagonist who has a story to tell, is intelligent, and is not run-of-the-mill.

Star Power Utilized Effectively

We have watched so many star-studded disasters in recent times. Even the most talented stars have been exploited to get ratings. When the production houses often invest in star power, they fail to focus equally on the script and the content. Parizaad however has proved that star power and quality content is a winning combination. All the big and rising stars have been assigned such roles in the drama that they have left a lasting impression.

Most importantly, it has actually added to the star power of the leading man Ahmed Ali Akbar. This should serve as an example and inspiration for all those actors who are constantly choosing similar projects because they are too afraid of stepping out of their comfort zones. It also goes to show that the right casting can make a world of difference. Ahmed Ali Akbar has risen as a bigger star than ever not by playing a typical role but by opting for a role that was a huge challenge. He has proved that he was up to the challenge and the credit for that also goes to those individuals who saw this talent in him and offered him the role. There is rarely a drama with so many big names attached to it that managed to do justice to all these stars, Parizaad has done just that therefore others should follow.

Meaningful Entertainment

With this script, the writer Hashim Nadeem has proved that multiple social issues can be highlighted in a drama without making it look like a social commentary. The fun fact is that Parizaad was never promoted as an issue-based drama yet right from the beginning it has focused on so many basic issues in the most meaningful manner. The basic theme of the drama itself is that we should not judge a book by its cover and that is being re-emphasized through different characters. That is something most viewers can relate to since so many people bank on first impressions to make final judgments about people. Apart from that, the effect of constant rejection, the double standards that exist in the society, extreme materialism, a husband’s failure to balance between his wife and parents – are just a few of the important issues that have been touched upon in the most effective manner.

What makes Parizaad different is the fact that the writer has relied on showing and not telling. Parizaad’s journey itself has so many messages in it. We definitely need more such dramas which provide meaningful entertainment in the true sense of the word.

Public Appreciation

The production houses and writers who are constantly complaining that they stick to done-to-death stories because that is what the public wants have certainly been proven wrong! By giving Parizaad the kind of love and attention it deserves, the public has shown that they will watch something out of the box if it is penned down and executed intelligently. Parizaad has proved that content is the king! Sure, it has great production values and superb performers to make it a one-of-a-kind drama but what stands out more than anything else is its main content and premise. The public is showing more love to this drama at the moment than any other, that says a great deal about what the public wants to see on television.

Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar got a lot of love from people in all these weeks ever since they announced that they were getting married. The kind of love they got from people is unprecedented since most often when celebrity marriages happen, there are all kind of opinions on social media. Whenever someone criticizes this couple, their fans come to defend them. The fact is that if you ever read the comments under their pictures, there are hardly ever any negative comments. Most often people either wish them well or praise them for being so perfect.

So, why do people love Hamza and Naimal so much? Here are five reasons why they get so much love.

Hamza and Naimal’s Simplicity

This is the number 1 reason why people love this beautiful celebrity couple. Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar both are not only celebrities but they also come from affluent backgrounds. They could have easily spent a great deal of money on their marriage functions yet they decided to keep it all so simple. Their outfits, guest list, venue and the overall approach to the wedding was brand new.

Their pictures together after their marriage too showed that these two people shared more than just friendship – they also had the same outlook towards life. People loved how simple their wedding was since it isn’t very often that a popular celebrity like Hamza Ali Abbasi goes for a wedding which is so simple. They also decided to go to Nathia Gali for their honeymoon – something which most people in Pakistan can relate to since not too many people can afford big honeymoons or weddings. People appreciated Hamza and Naimal for taking a step in the right direction.

Perfect Together

Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar look perfect together in every way. Most of the comments on social media show that people love them just as much for their outer beauty as they do for their personalities. When they interact with one another and the way they look at each other shows how much love there is between them. Fans also loved how Naimal held Hamza’s hand during the wedding functions, something which said a great deal about the kind of bond they have.

People obviously love the fact that for Naimal and Hamza the love they share is enough, it’s not something they felt the need to flaunt by getting media attention. Hamza Ali Abbasi also made it clear that they won’t be giving any interviews together after marriage to answer questions like when and how they fell in love. So, definitely, they are the only celebrity couple who do not intend to cash in on their popularity in any way at all.

The Fan Following

Like many other celebrity couples, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar individually had a lot of fan following before they got married. This fan following naturally increased when they got married. People are happy that two of their favorite celebrities are soul mates who are now spending a happy life together. Naimal Khawar had just started her showbiz career and people loved her as Izza in Anaa, Hamza Ali Abbasi already has a massive fan following therefore Hamza’s fans were very happy to find out that he chose to marry someone from the same field who was liked a lot.

Happy In Their Own World

Hamza and Naimal have thanked their fans many times and they do not take the love they get for granted yet they never do anything to get the attention of the people.
