Pakistani dramas have seen an improvement in quality over the last few years. Higher production quality, better costuming and star power have improved the watchability of our shows. The dramas have also gained global viewership, and Pakistani stars are now becoming household names internationally. However, sometimes, despite our best efforts, our dramas fail to impress.

The year 2025 had many good Pakistani dramas, but we also had shows which looked great from the outside but ended up disappointing when they finally aired. Many fans highly anticipated these dramas featuring big stars, but were disappointed. Here is a list of the 12 Worst Pakistani Dramas of 2025:

Mann Mast Malang

Writer: Nooran Makhdoom
Director: Ali Faizan

Mann Mast Malang is actually one of the most popular Pakistani dramas of 2025, based on the number of views. Starring Danish Taimoor and Sehar Hashmi, this drama ended up on the list of the worst dramas of 2025 due to its extremely problematic content. It was marketed as a romance, and Pakistani fans do love to watch romance. But it ended up being a lighter version of soft porn. With the hero tying the heroine in bed, and a shirtless hero wandering around, the heroine was unnecessary and not appropriate for Pakistani television. All these extremely close scenes didn’t even play a part in the story; they were put in just to sensationalise the drama. Thus, Mann Mast Malang ended up on he list for its cheap content.

Sunn Mere Dil

Writer: Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar
Director: Haseeb Hassan

Snn Mere Dil was a Pakistani drama that was highly anticipated before its release. Written by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and directed by Haseeb Hassan, the drama boasted names like Wahaj Ali, Maya Ali, Usama Khan and Hira Mani as leads. What could go wrong with such a strong team, you may ask. Well, EVERYTHING!. The story of Sunn Mere Dil made no sense, which brought a lot of criticism to Khalil ur Rehman Qamar. The direction was lacking, and all the actors performed exaggeratedly and unnaturally. The show ended up being the worst drama of the season while it was airing, and it now ends up on the list.

Dil e Nadan

Writer: Sadia Akhtar
Director: Saima Waseem

Dil e Nadan is a Pakistani drama starring Amar Khan, Mikaal Zulfiqar and Ali Abbas. The show was dubbed as the most nonsensical script of the year. Amar Khan played a very naive, college-going girl. Her look and wardrobe did not do justice to her character, while her exaggerated expressions became prime content for memes. A drama with such a talented star cast ended up becoming a hilarious parody. Dil e Nadan was one drama which made everyone question why it was even approved in the first place.

Dayan

Writer: Fatima Faizan & Amber Azhar
Director: Siraj Ul Haq

Dayan is a Pakistani drama which marked the television comeback of Mehwish Hayat. It had a huge star cast, but the story reminded us of 80s exaggerated Lollywood. This show had people coming back to life, severe IQ problems, as no one was able to recognise a woman just because she changed her styling and flying snakes. Creative liberty is the right of a storyteller, but this show had way too many creative liberties. Moreover, people did not agree with the ending when Nihal did not extract revenge from Zawar Shah, while he was okay to live happily ever after with a woman who killed his entire family.

Main Manto Nahi Hoon

Writer: Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar
Director: Nadeem Baig

Main Manto Nahi Hoon was a big-budget Pakistani drama which brought back the Mere Paas Tum Ho team on television. With the biggest constellation of stars in the cast and Nadeem Baig in the director’s seat, this drama was supposed to bring back old-school Khalil ur Rehman Qamar charm. Still, it only ended up glorifying a very problematic relationship, while leaving all the other strong tracks of the story without proper endings. Main Manto Nahi Hoon is on the list of worst dramas, as it was never about Manto but rather about a 50-year-old teacher having an affair with his 21-year-old student. INAPPROPRIATE, SENSELESS and UNNECESSARY!

Humraaz

Writer: Misbah Nosheen
Director: Farooq Rind

Humraaz was one of the highest anticipated dramas of 2025. With Ayeza Khan, Feroze Khan and Zahid Ahmed joining hands, this one was supposed to be a hit from the very first episode. The amalgamation of romance, thriller and crime was what the makers promised the audience. However, the viewers only got a confused attempt at trying to make a crime thriller. The script was unbearable, and the acting at times looked monotonous. This was not just one of the worst dramas of 2025, but also a complete disappointment for fans.

Agar Tum Saath Ho

Writer: Radain Shah
Director: Adnan Sarwar

Agar Tum Saath Ho was not just one of the worst Pakistani dramas of 2025 but also a huge missed opportunity. Mawra Hocane and Ameer Gilani had just gotten married, and fans were giving them so much love. Hum TV decided to release this drama right after. It had all the ingredients to win the audience, but it forgot to have a STORY. The performances were not up to the mark, and this one also turned out to be a huge disappointment for the fans.

Behroopia

Writer: Rida Bilal
Director: Shaqielle Khan

Behroopia is a Pakistani drama that was dubbed a game-changer. Based on split personality disorder, Faysal Quraisi played 9 characters in this one drama. This was a story which was presented as it would address the pain of this disorder, and then it would show ways to deal with it. What ended up happening was simply a confused script, with the writer herself dissociating from the plot that was shot. Faysal Quraishi did a great job, but even his excellence could not save this trainwreck.

Meri Bahuain

Writer: Osama Siddiqui & Sohail Younus
Director: Ahmer Sohail

Gone are the days when long Pakistani dramas were all about Star Plus-esque storylines. Now, long plays have gained high TRPs, and people have found some great story lines at both 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. slots. But Meri Bahuain just brought back the unnecessary toxicity and sensationalism. Pregnancies in every episode, women calling out women, the saas-bahu saga, this show has everything to ruin a person’s mood. It is definitely one of the worst dramas to air on-screen in 2025.

Shirin Farhad

Writer: Ali Moeen
Director: Asad Mumtaz

Shirin Farhad was a Pakistani drama which had a lot of expectations when it was released. The story was set in old Lollywood, and many characters were fascinating in the beginning. A lot of effort was put into costuming and makeup. Farhan Saeed and Kinza Hashmi were in the lead, but in the end, a weak storyline could not keep the audience interested. This highly anticipated show ended up becoming one of the worst of the year.

Masoom

Writer: Content Line
Director: Barkat Siddiki

Masoom is one Pakistani drama that showed how great acting talent can be wasted easily. With some strong performers like Imran Ashraf, Sonya Hussyn and Mikaal Zulfiqar in the cast, who are all giving their best, this show fell short of an original story. The drama felt like a copy of the Bollywood film Woh 7 Din, and no amount of effort from the actors could save it.

Hum Dono

Writer: Bee Gul
Director: Abis Raza

This Pakistani drama was supposed to be a modern love story with twists and turns. What it turned out to be was an hour of an extremely boring storyline, which will give you a headache. Nouman Ijaz, Kinza Hashmi, Azaan Sami Khan and Samar Jafri were a part of the cast, while Bee Gul was the writer, but viewers could still not build a connection to it. The drama was haphazard and all over the place.

Which among these Pakistani dramas was the worst, according to you? Share in comments!

Pakistani dramas are loved globally. The shows coming out of the country have made quite an impression worldwide. Within the last decade, we have seen a growing interest in Pakistani shows, and some drama characters have captivated the audience with their immense appeal, despite being extremely toxic and problematic. Perfectly written characters paired with great performances are what make a show go viral.

There has been considerable debate regarding the portrayal of toxic characters in dramas. Negative characters in dramas often do not learn their lessons until the final 15 minutes of the last episode.. Nonetheless, these characters garner significant popularity and affection from fans. In Pakistani dramas, several characters, despite their unlikable traits, command attention and admiration with their undeniable charisma and energy.

Here is a comprehensive list of strong, toxic, and undeniably entertaining characters:

Momina Iqbal In Do Kinaray

Momina Iqbal is portraying the venomous character Dureshehwar in the currently airing Pakistani drama Do Kinaray. As the show’s antagonist, her character is extremely toxic. From the very beginning, Momina Iqbal captivated the audience with her performance. Despite playing a villainous role, she has become one of the most beloved characters in the show. This is largely due to Momina Iqbal’s strong acting and her attention to detail in styling her character.

Saba Hameed In Noor Jahan

Saba Hameed is a superstar in the world of Pakistani dramas. She has dominated the industry for decades and shows no signs of slowing down. Hameed has mastered the art of portraying complex characters. One of her most notable roles was that of Noor Jahan in the drama of the same name. Noor Jahan is a controlling woman who despises girl children and emotionally and physically harms her kids, yet she became one of the most beloved characters on screen. Saba Hameed’s powerful performance transformed Noor Jahan into a favorite among audiences.

Neelam Muneer In Dil Mom Ka Diya

Neelam Muneer portrayed the ruthless character Ulfat in the classic Pakistani drama Dil Mom Ka Diya. The show received widespread acclaim from both audiences and critics alike. Although Neelam’s character was openly negative and toxic, she left a lasting impression on viewers. The story arc was beautifully crafted, and by the end of the series, fans had developed a fascination for the toxic Ulfat.

Ayeza Khan In Mein

Ayeza Khan portrayed Mubashira Jaffar, also known as MJ, in the drama Mein. This Pakistani series captivated audiences with its characters, all of whom had complex personalities. Mubashira’s character was negative, obsessive, and extremely rude. She showed little regard for the feelings and thoughts of her loved ones while grappling with her mental health struggles. Ayeza Khan brought this character to life, making her a favorite among viewers through her impressive performance and styling.

Faysal Quraishi In Khaie

Faysal Quraishi portrayed the character Chinar Khan in the blockbuster Pakistani drama Khaie. Chinar Khan was a complex character involved in murder, pillaging, and even rape. Faysal’s performance was so captivating that fans eagerly anticipated his scenes each week. Despite this excitement, being a villain, Chinar Khan’s charisma made him a fan favorite, and many viewers were emotionally affected when he was killed off in the series.

Kiran Malik In Jaisay Aapki Marzi

Kiran Malik made her Pakistani drama debut in Jaisay Aapki Marzi. She played the antagonist Natasha, who was a ruthless businesswoman and used to control her household and family with an iron fist. Natasha was loved by everyone with her style and aura, despite making the life of her sister-in-law and father a living hell.

Mikaal Zulfiqar In Jaisay Aapki Marzi

Mikaal Zulfiqar played the gaslighting king Sherry in Jaisay Aapki Marzi. He was charismatic and a character who used to get a lot of public sympathy when he gaslighted his wife. Mikaal Zulfiqar played this character to perfection. He was someone whom people used to look forward to watching on screen. A great performance by Mikaal made Sherry a fan favourite.

Emad Irfani In Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum

Emad Irfani made a stylish and charismatic appearance in the superhit Pakistani drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. Adeel was handsome, and everyone fell for his arm. The way Emad Irfani played this role was hands-down great. Adeel’s two-timing self became a fan favourite, and everyone loved how he did not lose his charm even after going to jail.

Hareem Farooq In Bismil

Hareem Farooq made her Pakistani drama comeback with Bismil. She played an ultra-negative character, and her performance was top-notch opposite none other than Nauman Ijaz. Bismil made records on TRP charts, and Hareem’s strong performance as Masooma was the reason. This became another example of a negative character overshadowing the positive ones.

Nameer Khan In Qarz e Jaan

Nameer Khan played a murderer and rapist, Ammar Bakhtiyar, in Qarz e Jaan. This was another instance of the public falling in love with the bad guy. Despite being toxic, Nameer Khan made Ammar palatable, and fans were disappointed when Ammar was sent to jail in the end.

Mohib Mirza In Jafaa

Mohib Mirza played a very complex character in Jafaa. He played a man suffering from a mental health disorder. He was abusive and subjected his wife to domestic violence. Despite being a very violent character, Mohib Mirza’s realistic acting made him a star whom fans kept sympathising with till the end.

Gohar Rasheed In Mann Jogi

Chaudhary Shabbir was a villain who sent chills down the audience’s backs. Gohar Rasheed was the performer who carried this project with perfection. The star showcased the bitter realities of power and corruption in society. He was still someone we all looked forward to watching every week, as he was the one who manipulated the chess of Mann Jogi.

Which toxic character did you find the most entertaining? Share in comments!

Pakistani dramas are loved not just within the country, but also by people all over the world who understand Urdu, who love to watch them. The melodrama, romance, and relatable situations are what make them a hit with the audience. Many times, the dramas either become such big hits that fans demand a sequel for them or their stories end in such a cliffhanger that they demand another instalment.

Recently, we have witnessed numerous fantastic dramas that have set viewership records. One such show is Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. Fans have been requesting a sequel, but the creators announced that a sequel is not feasible for a story that is complete. However, several other successful dramas deserve a second season. Here are some shows that could have a Season 2 that fans would absolutely love:

Suno Chanda

Suno Chanda was a game-changer for Pakistani dramas. Starring a fresh lead pairing of Farhan Saeed and Iqra Aziz, the drama not only became a blockbuster hit, but it also started a trend of Ramadan special dramas. The show was such a huge hit that Hum TV came out with a second season. The second season ended with a cliffhanger where Arsal and Ajiya were going abroad for her studies. There have always been calls for a third season, and the cast wanted a third one to be shot abroad. The writer Saima Akram Chaudhary will also be interested, and fans look forward to another instalment whenever it comes out.

Kabli Pulao

Kabli Pulao is another Pakistani drama that took the audience by storm. The love story between two individuals with a huge age gap, and who did not even speak each other’s language, was not something anyone expected. It was sweet, relatable, and took the fans on a ride. The ending was great and poetic, but at the same time abrupt. A sequel for such a couple would be lovely, as fans would be able to see more from their side and how they lived together moving forward in life.

Qarz e Jaan

Qarz e Jaan was a layered story. Many themes were discussed in the show, including the consequences of bad parenting. What ended up becoming a winner in the show was the track of Ammar Bakhtiyar, played by Nameer Khan. He goes to prison for his crimes. A spin-off about his story and rehabilitation will be something many would love to watch. The track of Nashwa and Burhan also ended abruptly, and fans would love to see how they fared in life.

Ehd e Wafa

Ehd e Wafa was a Pakistani drama targeted at youth. It was different from just love stories. The show explored career choices, ambitions, and similar themes. College life was also shown, which people loved at the time. A second series with similar themes can still catch eyeballs. Yes, the preachiness could be controlled, but this is definitely something a young audience would like to watch on their screens.

Alif

Alif, written by Umera Ahmed, was a masterpiece starring Sajal Aly and Hamza Ali Abbasi. With a story revolving around spirituality and deep and interesting characters, this is one of the best dramas to come out of Pakistani television. The show ends with Qalb e Momin deciding to move back to Turkey to continue his father and grandfather’s legacy. Momina Sultan, however, remains back, and it would be lovely to see how they progress in life if a second season is made. It will be great to see the characters again, even if for a mini-series.

Duniyapur

Duniyapur was another unique Pakistani drama revolving around themes of lawlessness and revenge. The show had a big cast, and everyone did their best in their roles. Numan Ijaz and Manzar Sehbai made this drama a top-notch revenge story. The main lead characters, played by Khushhal Khan and Ramsha Khan, fled in the end. Sami Khan played the police officer who would be chasing them once again. This is another show where fans demanded a second season. It will be great to watch how Shahmeer and Anaa actually walked out alive.

Serial Killer

Serial Killer was a Pakistani drama that aired on Green TV. Starring Saba Qamar as the lead, this was yet another refreshing change for Pakistani television. A senior police officer, trying to catch a serial killer while she herself suffers from PTSD, was a good story. This show ended with one of the biggest cliffhangers in the history of recent Pakistani dramas. It should be rebooted, and a conclusion needs to be given to the show.

Mere Paas Tum Ho

Mere Paas Tum Ho is a cult classic. The show broke viewership records, and fans were on the edge of their seats to see what would happen to Danish. In the end, we got Rumi and Mehwish, both alive, and a huge amount of money left behind by Danish. Since Danish is dead, one can not expect a sequel from his point of view. But a spin-off with Rumi as lead wouldn’t be a bad idea. The idea also gained limelight when Sunn Mere Dil came out. Fans thought Wahaj Ali’s character could be Rumi’s future, but the show diverted way too much from being sensible. A real sequel from Rumi’s point of view will be a great idea for fans and makers both.

Khaas

Khaas is a Pakistani drama that focuses on emotional abuse in a marriage. This topic has not been addressed enough in the past. Starring Sanam Baloch, Ali Rehman Khan and Haroon Shahid, this was a great watch. A season 2 with similar and important themes explored would be great to watch.

Dil Nawaz

Wahaj Ali and Neelam Muneer starred in this horror Pakistani drama. They both did a great job, and it was one drama in the horror genre that actually worked. After many twists and turns, the drama ended with a hybrid jin-human child, which Dil Nawaz takes with her. A sequel with the baby would be a treat to watch for fans. Wahaj is all set to star in a horror comedy now. Maybe we can watch him in Dil Nawaz 2.

Durr e Shehwar

Durr e Shehwar is a Pakistani drama that every young woman who is fed up with Tere Bin and Ishq Murshid fantasy would love to watch. It is a show so close to reality that it would make you uncomfortable. The stark reality of what women go through in our society was beautifully portrayed in the drama. This is one story which should have a remake version and viewers will be debating on every scene every week.

Parizaad

Parizaad written by Hashim Nadeem took the audience by storm. It was a global hit and fans loved the story of an underdog. People were able to see their own inner Parizaad on screens with this one. There have been talks about a possible sequel by Hashim Nadeem and fans want to see that day coming soon. Ahmed Ali Akbar reprising the iconic character will be a treat for the viewers.

Faysal Quraishi is one of Pakistan’s most renowned actors. He started his career as a child actor. He worked in a few films at the very beginning of his career and later transitioned to television. He has been among the main faces of television for three decades now, and he still pulls the audience towards any project that he stars in.

What makes Faysal Quraishi different from his contemporaries is his ability to pick scripts based on their stories. He doesn’t have to look like a millionaire CEO every time. He has played older characters when he was young. He has taken on characters that many were scared to take on. Faysal has appeared in around 200 projects in his career. Here is a list of dramas that prove he is the king of versatility and no one does it better than him:

Boota From Toba Tek Singh

Boota From Toba Tek Singh is where it all started for Faysal Quraishi. He became a household name. A character so different from his real life, Boota put him on the map. The story of a rural man still lives rent-free in the minds of Faysal Quraishi fans. He was not having a great run in films when Toba came into his life, and here is where the star’s journey started.

Meri Zaat Zarra e Benishan

Meri Zaat Zarra e Benishan is a difficult watch. It was never going to end gloriously for Faysal Quraishi’s character. He was at the top of his career when he decided to work on that show. He was playing a weak man who was not able to trust his love. He made her suffer all her life. Faysal not only picked up that role but also made it believable. Though Meri Zaat Zarra e Benishan did not have a conventional hero, Faysal chose to become a part of a classic.

Man o Salwa

Man o Salwa is another classic starring names like Resham, Nauman Ijaz and Faysal Quraishi. It is another strong script, and Faysal was an integral part of it. He was a lead but an anti-lead. The actor knows how to make us hate him. His character held the power to shape how the story ends, and he did not miss his strong performance in a single scene. All Faysal Quraishi and Nauman Ijaz fans should give this one a try.

Aashti

Aashti was a drama that was way ahead of its time. For those who have not witnessed this masterpiece, this show has Humayun Saeed, Fahad Mustafa, Faysal Quraishi and Resham together. It was based on the lives of the Bengali community and something that makers do not even think of making nowadays. Close to reality and performances that will make you forget who these stars are, Aashti is a show you will enjoy. Faysal also played a Bengali man and once again gave his 100%.

Qaid e Tanhai

Qaid e Tanhai stars Faysal Quraishi and Savera Nadeem. A very sensitive story that will stay with you for a while. Faysal Quraishi played the father of Neelam Muneer when he was very young. The OST of this drama is still a hit. Another performance where half the time you will hate Faysal, while you will feel for him for the other half.

Main Abdul Qadir Hoon

Main Abdul Qadir Hoon is an iconic drama. It showed how capable Fahad Mustafa was, but Faysal Quraishi also stole the show. He appeared in the special role of Faiz Rasul. The character became an instant hit. His jolly nature, the turns he brings in Abdul Qadir and the way he lit up the screen were a treat to watch. This shows how a smaller character can leave a lasting impact and more screentime does not equal more applause.

Bashar Momin

We get to see people complaining about angry and toxic heroes on our television screens. Danish Taimoor and Feroze Khan are both put into that category. But Faysal Quraishi is the one who actually set the trend with Bashar Momin. Half of these toxic characters can still not hold a candle to Bashar. Where Faysal Quraishi excelled was that he did not get stuck in that character. He kept experimenting and did many great roles after that.

Rang Laaga

Rang Laaga is another drama where Faysal Quraishi played an outrageous character. He keeps marrying, and he is a colourful character who you cannot even hate. He is flamboyant, out of control, and he was able to bring chemistry with all three actresses Saima Khan, Zhalay Sarhadi and Neelam Muneer. This shows his versatility as the same actor has played Neelam’s father very convincingly in Qaid e Tanhai when they were both very young.

Khaie

Khaie is a masterpiece that broke many barriers. It was an experiment in a time when dramas were only being shot in drawing rooms. Faysal Quraishi played a killer Chinar Khan, and people ended up falling in love with him. A strong story with a very strong cast, Khaie is one of Faysal Quraishi’s best works, with considerable re-watch value.

Raaja Rani

Raaja Raani is an ongoing project on Hum TV, featuring Faysal Quraishi and Hina Afridi. The show has received a lot of criticism, but Faysal Quraishi has taken on a unique role as a mentally challenged man who embodies childlike behavior. His mannerisms and portrayal of this condition are exceptional. Fans are eager to see where the story will lead, and once again, his acting has been outstanding.

Behroopia

Behroopia is a project in which Faysal Quraishi has set a remarkable record. He portrays Mikail, a character with multiple personality disorder, and has taken on eight different roles within the same drama. He has done an excellent job in each one, effectively highlighting this mental condition. Once again, the actor has demonstrated why he is regarded as the king of versatility.

Sabz Pari Laal Kabootar

Sabz Pari Laal Kabootar is a dark story. This comes highly recommended from one of the cast members, Sami Khan. The drama shows the harsh realities of our society and how economic problems can push people to extremes. Faysal Quraishi’s character is based on a real-life story where a father slaughtered his daughters.

Faysal Quraishi’s career demonstrates that he has never been limited to just playing glamorous hero roles. He has consistently supported strong characters, even while being a star himself. He has taken on negative roles, and he shows no signs of slowing down. His filmography serves as a lesson to young actors who are often confined to playing wealthy characters in suits and driving luxury vehicles.

Pakistani dramas have gained global popularity in the last few years. The stars created by the drama industry now have a global reach and we have seen people from other countries who do not even speak Urdu as their first language enjoying our shows. Styling does play an important role in how the characters are perceived and how eventually the drama looks when it airs. There have been instances recently where the styling of characters was so off that they did not even look a part of the story being shown.

Here is a list of Pakistani stars who did not look great styling-wise in Pakistani dramas. Have a look:

Ushna Shah In Ghair

We will only discuss the styling aspect of this Pakistani drama though performances were also under fire while it was on air. Ushna Shah played the role of a girl who was practically an orphan. She was shipped from one home to another and no one owned her or cared for her. She also had a serious accusation about her and her character was being tarnished nearly every hour. But throughout the show, her hair was perfectly curled, the makeup was done to the nines and not a single look showed that she was an orphan or a girl who did not even have a home.

Yashmeera Jan In Ghair

Yashmeera Jan was also a part of the Pakistani drama Ghair. It proved to be her last as she is leaving acting after getting married. The actress played the vamp but her character was supposed to be from an elite family and she was a young college-going girl. She ended up wearing wedding outfits and her hair and makeup were too loud for her role. Not a great way of styling a character who is supposed to look young on screen.

Hiba Ali Khan In Jaan Nisar

Hiba Ali Khan played the desperate bhabi turned first wife in Jaan Nisar. Her character was shown as a woman from a very influential household but her styling was mediocre at best. She did not look as rich as Nosherwan or his mother and her outfits and jewellery were quite out of place at certain instances.

Azekah Daniel In Mein

Azekah Daniel played Ayra in Mein. Mein was a big Pakistani drama and it had some big cast members including Ayeza Khan, Shahzad Nawaz, and Wahaj Ali. With Ayra’s character arc, there should have been extreme style transformation after Ayra marries Zaid but she could never match Mubashira aka Ayeza Khan.

Sonya Hussyn In Akhara

Sonya Hussyn was the weakest link of Akhara. A show with perfect styling had her looking out of place. Her Western and Eastern, looks did not work for her character Sitara and she did not look like a student anywhere. She appeared older because of her makeup and styling, which did not fit the show’s environment.

Usman Mukhtar In Jafaa

Usman Mukhtar played the green flag turned red flag character Dr Numair in Jafaa. Jafaa was a Pakistani drama that got a lot of appreciation and Usman’s character was also talked about. In addition to the writing of its conclusion, Usman’s styling was the worst part of the show. He looked like he was not putting in any effort throughout the drama except for the scrubs which looked good.

Neelam Muneer In Khumar

Neelam Muneer portrayed a middle-class girl in the drama “Khumar.” Although she worked in event management, her appearance often resembled that of a Lahori auntie from DHA, complete with golden hair and heavy makeup. Even during the sad scenes, she was fully made up, which seemed excessive. Neelam is naturally beautiful, and the styling choices did not enhance her look.

Arsalan Naseer In Radd

Arsalan Naseer portrayed the character Zain in the show “Radd.” He is also a content creator who typically does not experiment much with his appearance. However, the beard he sported in Radd was quite unfortunate and detracted significantly from his character. As soon as he appeared on screen with that fake beard, it became difficult for the audience to take him seriously.

Laiba Khan In Kaffara

Laiba Khan starred in the hit Pakistani drama Kaffara. The show was a massive success but Laiba also had the Ayra from Mein syndrome. After she gets married to the super-rich male lead, her styling should have changed drastically. Rich characters need to look different like we saw the transformations of Ayeza Khan and Fahad Mustafa in Mere Paas Tum Ho and Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum respectively. Laiba’s character looked the same as she looked from the very beginning of the show.

Munazzah Arif In Dil e Nadan

Munazzah Arif also failed to show an ultra-rich woman in Dil e Nadan. Her accessories and outfits did not match her character. She is a great talent, but the styling team could have done much better. She might have looked better in simple saris and raw silk suits.
