It is a known fact that cameras not only pick up the weight but also add more of it to the actors on-screen. This is the reason why the actors are always conscious of not gaining weight. Staying fit and lean is the demand of the showbiz industry, therefore every actor, irrespective of the age bracket they get to portray the roles of, tries to look slim on television. Every now and then, actors surprise the TV viewers with their weight loss especially when they decide to take a gap between their projects and show up after an interval. That is when the weight loss of the actors draws attention to it and people get inspired by the actors’ weight loss journey. Pakistani drama industry has become a lot more competitive, to the point of being unforgiving for actors especially when they have to be seen on TV, this is why more and more actors are losing weight and trying to stay fit.

Marriage and divorce is a common phenomenon that takes place all over the world. However, in any showbiz industry, the marital status of all the celebrities get a lot of attention because of the association of so many people with them; be it in the form of paparazzi, media, or their fans in general.

It is not an overstatement that the Pakistani fans and followers put their favorite stars and idols at a pedestal and they are deeply revered, this is why any news related to them gets a lot of attention especially when it revolves around their marriage or divorce. In some cases, the celebrities get a lot of positive attention, similarly, in other cases, there are always a few celebrities who spark controversy with the way they either handle things or how it gets blown out of proportion on social media.

In this day and age, the responsibility solely lies on the celebrities as to what they want to share with the fans and public in general because anything that they put out means they are giving an open invitation to the people to form an opinion about them. This also makes it one of the biggest disadvantages of social media that a lot of people not only form an opinion but also start spreading rumors and add more fuel to the fire. This is the reason, in the past few years when the usage of social media became widespread, quite a few marriages, as well as divorces of the Pakistani celebrities, became controversial with people feeling the need to have a say about it and also because of the role played by the celebrities in tackling the entire situation.

Here is the list of 10 controversial marriages and divorces of Pakistani celebrities:

[lwptoc]

Amir Liaquat’s Marriage To Syeda Tuba Amir

In 2018, the rumors of Amir Liaquat’s second marriage were already spreading when he decided to address the issue. Amir Liaquat not only defended his decision of a second marriage but went all out by taking his second wife Syeda Tuba Amir on a different morning shows to prove his point further. Amir Liaquat and his second wife had all the right to defend their sacred union. However, the role morning show hosts, especially Sanam Baloch played in giving the new couple coverage and clean chit based on her limited perception added fuel to the fire.

On the other hand, Amir Liaquat’s first wife Bushra Amir along with their daughter Dua Amir tweeted out the reality and didn’t hold back in sharing their disappointment with his decision, which then made things quite controversial. It was obvious that Bushra Amir was never happy with his decision but decided to stay quiet until she saw the way her husband was introducing his second wife to the general public through TV interviews. Amir Liaquat also didn’t hold back in sharing how he had given the entire house and financial security to his first wife and children, which made things worse because then people felt he crossed the line in order to prove that he was doing more than he was required to, which in general was the right his first wife and children had on him.

After quite a few times, the dust settled and Syeda Tuba Amir co-hosted Ramadan transmission with her husband. Bushra Amir also got her own Ramadan show where she received a lot of love and appreciation from the general public for the knowledge that she had and also how she conducted herself with utmost grace and dignity.

Syra Yusuf and Shehroz Sabzwari’s Divorce

Syra Yusuf was quite dignified in how she tackled her divorce, however, it was her fans and the general public who made things worse for the couple and called Shehroz Sabzwari out for cheating on his wife. Before that happened, people had already started noticing that Syra was not posting pictures with her husband anymore and it had been happening for months now. That’s when rumors started to spread and people became a lot more curious. Syra Yusuf chose not to say anything but then the news of Shehroz Sabzwari’s affiliation with Sadaf Kanwal started circulating and that’s when the entire equation became quite controversial.

Once again, Syra Yusuf chose not to utter a word but in the meantime, Shehroz Sabzwari came out with his side of the truth and stated that Sadaf Kanwal and he were just ‘good friends’ and that people were wrong in dragging her name into his personal matters. However, months later both Shehroz and Syra took it to their social media handles to announce their divorce on February 29, 2020. However, it is nice to see that both Shehroz and Syra are co-parenting, and both the parents often share snippets of the time they share with their daughter Nooreh. She lives with Syra but she often visits her father where she is showered with a lot of love. This aspect of their equation is now being respected and appreciated by people where they feel that the rights of their daughter are being fulfilled and she is not getting neglected.

Shehroz Sabzwari’s Marriage To Sadaf Kanwal

When Shehroz Sabzwari was in the process of getting divorced from his first wife Syra Yusuf, people already started speculating that he was having an affair with Sadaf Kanwal. It was because the two were spotted together on different occasions and they weren’t being too discreet about it. This is when the people accused Shehroz Sabzwari of cheating on his wife and held Sadaf Kanwal responsible for being the homewrecker and the reason behind the couple’s divorce. When the rumors started circulating, Shehroz Sabzwari as well as his father Behroz Sabzwari took it to social media to clear the air and stop people from making speculations.

Shehroz and Syra announced their divorce and just a few months later, Sadaf Kanwal took it to her social media to post the pictures of her Nikkah with Shehroz Sabzwari. It was at that time when people unanimously called the couple out because they believed the rumors of Shehroz cheating on Syra were true and that Sadaf actually was the reason why Syra parted ways with Shehroz. After their marriage, the couple received a lot of backlash but then once again, Shehroz decided to share his part of the truth where he made it clear that he and Syra were already separated from August 2019. Shehroz stated that he did not want to divorce Syra but because the couple was unable to come to terms with each other and come to a common ground, they decided it was better for them to part ways. Shehroz then stated that he met Sadaf in February 2020 for the first time during the PISA awards because they worked together and then they got involved with each other. Shehroz never cheated on Syra and months before meeting Sadaf, he and Syra were separated. After his video went viral, people were divided but now the dust has pretty much settled and the couple is not at the receiving end of hatred anymore.

Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar’s Marriage

The news of Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar’s marriage took the internet by storm. Hamza Ali Abbasi had gone for Hajj in 2019 and right after he returned, he shared that he was getting married to Naimal Khawar. Naimal Khawar’s debut drama serial Anaa was all the rage in the year 2019 and people were loving her as Izza. Pakistani drama fans were also excited because they assumed that they will get to see Naimal Khawar in more dramas in the future. However, things became controversial when Hamza Ali Abbasi took it to Facebook to share his sentiments behind the decision of marriage. He explained things according to his perspective and received a lot of backlash. In the meantime, Naimal Khawar also announced that she was not going to pursue her acting career and people felt it was a decision influenced by Hamza Ali Abbasi, to which Naimal gave a clarification that this was her own decision and had nothing to do with Hamza.

Even before the wedding, the couple was being held responsible for the personal choices they had made and because everything got too overwhelming, both Hamza and Naimal had to come up with a lot more explanations to settle the wrong assumptions and speculations that were being made about them. However, things turned quickly and the couple became Pakistan’s one of most-loved couples overnight when people saw how simply and beautifully the two got married. Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar went for a simple Nikkah ceremony followed by a grand Valima hosted by Hamza Ali Abbasi in Marriot Islamabad. Since then, the two have received nothing but love and appreciation for how gracefully they have conducted themselves as a married couple. Hamza Ali Abbasi and Naimal Khawar Khan have moved to the USA and recently had a baby boy Mustafa.

Mikaal Zulfiqar and Sara Bhatti’s Divorce

The divorce of Mikal Zulfiqar and Sarah Bhatti turned controversial because firstly people never saw it coming and there was always this air about the couple that they were happily married. However, things turned sour when Mikaal Zulfiqar took it to his Facebook and shared the news with his fans. The couple got married in April 2010 and were married for 6 years, they also had two daughters who now live with Sara Bhatti.

At the time, the parted couple received a lot of good wishes however a year after the divorce, Sara Bhatti found the courage to open up and she then shared what her marriage with Mikaal was like. She stated that she had to financially and emotionally support her kids while being married to Mikaal Zulfikar and now that she has parted ways, she feels an additional responsibility has been alleviated and she can fully focus on her daughters and their well-being. In an Instagram post, Sara Bhatti also kind of hinted at the fact that Mikaal Zulfiqar was cheating or maybe there were some other women in the picture. Sara Bhatti has definitely received a lot of love and appreciation for her resilience in raising her two daughters bravely and strongly.

Noman Javed and Fariha Parvaiz’s Divorce

In 2016, the news of Noman Javed and Fariha Parvaiz’s divorce came as a shock because the couple had not made the news of their marriage public. It was right after the rumors started spreading that the two had tied the knot and wanted to be discreet about their relationship. However, things became quite serious when Noman Javed was hospitalized after his suicide attempt in which the people found it easy to speculate that the reason behind was his breakup with his wife. Fariha Parvaiz did not issue any statement but just mentioned that she could not live with Noman Javaid anymore.

Noman Javed and Jana Malik’s Divorce

In September 2016, Noman Javaid and Jana Malik tied the knot in a simple Nikkah ceremony. Right after their marriage, the couple started appearing on different morning shows and stated how they just met randomly and started talking to each other, and just within a couple of months, they decided to get married. Jana Malik shared that she and Noman were making a bucket list of things they wanted to do and they both casually discussed how they wanted to get married. It was right then and there Noman Javaid proposed marriage to her and she said yes. Jana Malik was pretty happy with how things progressed because her family was supportive of this decision as well. Right after almost 6 months, the couple announced their divorce.

Noman Javaid stated that he had no idea what was brewing in Jana Malik’s mind because the couple was also planning to have a baby. Noman Javaid shared that he holds Jana Malik’s mother responsible for this divorce because she was not too happy and continued to brain feed Jana Malik against him. Jana Malik didn’t appear in a lot of interviews after that but the one time she was asked about her divorce, she said she parted with Noman on a happy note and things were not working, therefore it was perfectly fine for two individuals to make a decision that guarantees their mental peace and happiness. Noman Javaid on the other hand seemed a bit too depressed when he appeared in different morning shows right after his divorce. It was probably one of the most short-lived marriages of Pakistani celebrities.

Mohsin Abbas Haider and Fatema Sohail’s Divorce

Mohsin Abbas Haider and Fatema Sohail tied the knot in 2015. In 2017 the couple had their first daughter who unfortunately passed away when she was 7 weeks old. The couple later had a baby boy and just when everyone thought that their life was back on track now that they have become parents again, the shocking truth surfaced about the kind of abusive and toxic relationship the two shared. Fatema Sohail took it to her social media handles to inform everyone about the domestic violence actor Mohsin Abbas Haider put his wife through. She shared the pictures of her bruised face and Dua Malik along with Gohar Rasheed vouched for her that she was stating the truth and that they both were aware of the kind of husband Mohsin Abbas Haider was.

It was in 2019 when Fatema Sohail exposed Mohsin Abbas Haider, this entire case spread like a wildfire with a lot of support that poured Fatema’s way. It became ugly when Mohsin denied everything during a press conference. Fatema Sohail also mentioned Nazish Jahangir’s name in the equation saying that Mohsin was having an extra-marital affair with Nazish. This was not denied by Mohsin and as the days passed by, everyone got to know that Moshin and Nazish actually were dating and are still together. The couple officially got divorced after a long legal battle. Fatema Sohail ventured into acting and is an inspirational single parent who has given hope to so many girls who are in the same boat as her.

Noor Bukhari and Wali Khan’s Divorce

Noor Bukhari and Wali Khan starred together in Noor Bukhari’s directorial debut Ishq Positive. That is when the two tied the knot in a simple Nikkah ceremony in 2015 and hid their marriage from the public as well as Wali’s family. The movie was released in 2016 and soon after that, the news of their marriage became public. This was Noor Bukhari’s fourth marriage and the couple was already under a lot of scrutiny because of the age difference between the two.

However, they both started making public appearances and posed to be happily married but within a few months, the news of their divorce surfaced. Noor Bukhari parted ways with Wali Khan and the two got into a fiasco publicly which was circulated all over social media as well. Noor Bukhari has now remarried her 2nd husband Awn Chauhdry and has recently had a second child as well.

Azfar Ali and Naveen Waqar’s Marriage & Divorce

Azfar Ali was married to Salma Hassan for 11 years and the news of their divorce broke many hearts because they were one of the finest and most-loved couples in the Pakistani drama industry. Their OG followers from the Sub Set Hai days were emotionally shattered because they never imagined that they would get to hear the news of Salma and Azfar’s divorce. Soon after, the news of Azfar Ali and Naveen Waqar’s marriage circulated which sparked controversy and people started calling the couple out. People felt Azfar was selfish for parting ways with not only his first wife but his children too and then Naveen Waqar was labeled as a home-wrecker.

The couple stayed low-profile for almost a year after their marriage because the backlash was too much for them to handle. The couple made a public appearance and explained how hard it was for them to deal with the negativity that they were subjected to. However, it came as a shock to everyone when Azfar Ali made it public that he and Naveen Waqar got divorced too. Their marriage was short-lived and it seems they both were quite unhappy, this is the explanation that Azfar Ali gave while stating that the reason behind the divorce is unimportant, what matters is that it’s better to part ways and not drag the relationship further which is not making both the people involved unhappy.

In a cut-throat field such as show-business, people struggle to make connections and find life-long best friends. There are always a lot of celebrities who have a fall out with their best friends, probably because they get busy with their work and they end up drifting apart. However, there are also a lot of celebrities who maintain their relationships and never let their work come in the way. Pakistani celebrities are no different. There are a lot of Pakistani celebrities who have maintained their relationships with their best friends for years. Irrespective of the success or failure, they have never let anything affect their friendships and have continued to share a very strong bond.

For fans and followers, it is always an interesting aspect to know who their favorite celebrities are friends with in real life.

This concludes the list of 10 celebrity best friend duos of Pakistani showbiz industry. Which one of these duos are your favorite? Do you follow them and their journeys on their social media? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.

The story of each and every drama is taken forward with the help of characters. They are the medium through which the drama writers elaborate and tell a story because it is based on the journeys that those characters live in the drama. For any character to work and have a connection with the drama viewers, it is very important on the writer’s part to give them a complete personality which is dynamic. In most cases, characters are shown suffering from different hardships of life but it again relies a lot on the actor, the writer as well as the director how they create the personality of the character who convincingly conveys the story.

In a lot of Pakistani dramas that are currently on-air, there are quite a few characters that have nothing happening for them. Such characters come across one-dimensional and absolutely boring, so much so that they make the viewers want to turn off the TV. It is unfortunate that in the initial episodes, each and every character of all the dramas seems promising but as the story progresses, they continue to become plain and lack any depth.

Let’s take a look at the most boring characters of the current Pakistani dramas:

Maira (Mera Dil Mera Dushman)

The plot of the drama was questionable and the pairing of Yasir Nawaz and Alizeh Shah was another annoying aspect of this story. However, as much as life has not been favorable to Maira, the way Alizeh Shah has portrayed this role is just plain annoying. The character of Maria is boring to the core and has nothing to offer.

The director and the writer obviously wanted to make the most of the story of a girl who was unjustly married to a man her father’s age but Alizeh Shah failed to make it believable. She thought that sporting a similar expression in a 40+ episode drama was enough to convey Maira’s personality and her emotional state but she failed to give it a personality which otherwise would’ve made the viewers feel for her. The moment you look at Maira, you either want to hibernate or switch the lights as well as the Television off because she is that boring!

Nageen (Deewangi)

Nageen and Maira are the toughest competitors of one another when it comes to who is more boring than the other. However, it is safe to say that they both have scored a top spot in the list of boring characters because they both make your blood boil and fail to meet the criteria of common sense. The panting that Hiba Bukhari has done to convey the emotional turmoil of Nageen’s character is mind-numbing because as much as she wastes her energy panting, the viewers fold their hands, clench their fists and wish that instead of exhaling empty air from her mouth, she would actually blurt out some words, to tell the truth to her husband Haroon who has supported her through thick and thin.

Nageen is shown to be a bechari but in reality, she has pushed herself as well as her husband to this limit where he is not ready to hear any of her explanations. The writer expects that the viewers would side with Nageen or understand her trauma but in reality, they are done with this boring character because she can not even find words to bring herself out of the misery. She likes to dwell in it more and more because hey, being a bechari and a bore is easier than having the courage to stand up for yourself and save your character from getting assassinated.

Shahmeer (Mera Dil Mera Dushman)

It seems Noaman Sami took acting classes from his “best friend” Alizeh Shah when they both signed the project together because their acting and expressions are exactly the same. Shahmeer is shown to be a guy who couldn’t get married to the girl he loved and to add to his woes, she ended up becoming his ‘mami’. However, Noaman Sami failed to make the emotions of Shahmeer believable, and the moment you look at him, you find him absolutely boring. This is not just empty words because this claim has been backed up by his drama wife Ayesha who herself feels that she got married to a bore, who has nothing apart from emotional absence to offer. Ayesha may feel burdened by Shahmeer’s emotional absence but the viewers are finding it hard to deal with the absence of expressions and acting as well.

Raima (Muqaddar)

Madiha Imam is a brilliant actor and she always takes her characters a couple of notches higher with her realistic acting, however, when it comes to the character of Raima, it is too obvious that her hands were tied and she couldn’t do much to add personality in this character. When the drama began, the character of Raima was the main factor that grabbed the attention of the viewers because she lived life on her own terms and was very much sorted.

Despite the fact that she, unfortunately, had to get married to a man her uncle’s age, since then Raima has absolutely nothing left to offer. The pace of the drama is another reason why her character has turned into a dud because all she does is go into a trance every time her uncle-like husband Saif ur Rehman starts his love-talks with her. No one ever imagined seeing that such a bright and promising character would make to the list of boring characters!

Zafar (Mera Dil Mera Dushman)

Zafar was shown to have a big personality where he always controlled everything around him. Zafar was shown to have different shades but it seems Maira’s boredom was contagious because ever since getting married to a girl his daughter’s age, instead of feeling and becoming emotionally younger, he has become a bore himself. All he does is just walk around the house in his signature brown shalwar kameez and awkwardly sits next to boring biwi on a bed discussing home affairs.

At the beginning of the drama, Zafar was shown to have certain expectations from him, he didn’t shy away from sharing what he expected from his wife and new relationship but now, it seems he has long forgotten the reasons why he got married. Another reason could be that because the drama is getting badly dragged, the writer forgot to keep up with everyone’s personalities and is continuing without focusing on such intricate details. In the beginning, Yasir Nawaz was very much in his element while portraying a character of Zafar but now he has turned into a paid audience in this drama because he is mostly seen in the background with no voice, no opinion of his.

Zunaira (Tarap)

Where there’s Hiba Bukhari, there’s panting and a lot of it. The only thing that sets the characters of Nageen and Zunaira played by Hiba Bukhari different is the hairstyles she has sported in Deewangi and Tarap because if these two dramas would’ve aired the same day and the viewers must’ve switched the channels by mistake, they wouldn’t have found any difference in these two characters that Hiba Bukhari chose to portray.

Zunaira comes from a very strict and conservative household but it is amazing that despite being the one who is always very much mindful of what ticks her brother Adil off, she continues to do all those things and in the end, comes back home panting thinking she is going to get away scot-free. Another reason that makes the characters played by Hiba Bukhari absolutely boring is that these characters do not believe in telling the truth, a complete picture and just believe in winging it, thinking it’s going to be enough.

Aiman (Mera Dil Mera Dushman)

This girl had sass and swag at the beginning of the drama. Aamna Malick also played this character convincingly and has been doing justice to it through her acting to date, but it won’t be wrong to say that the character of Aiman has also lost its personality and has become so boring that it is hard to feel for her. In the initial phase of her marital life when things started to get shaky, it was understandable that Aiman would be faced with all those challenges that she was oblivious to before but this character and its personality have also become a victim of the unnecessary dragging of Mera Dil Mera Dushman.

It is very obvious that because Aamna Malick is a good actor and she does emotional and crying scenes very realistically, the director and the writer have now put the entire burden on her shoulders to do as much crying as possible to keep the heart of the viewers soft towards this drama which otherwise has absolutely nothing left to offer and has also lost the purpose.

Misha (Jalan)

Misha is shown to be the wise, the mature, the eldest daughter of the family but it is unfortunate that a girl who has so many traits is oblivious to the conniving nature of her sister. The viewers stop feeling for such characters who push themselves into a deep pit only due to their gullibility and naivety to an extent where they start coming across as stupid – Misha is a perfect example.

It is once again unfortunate that this character who absolutely has nothing going for her will now be made to cry buckets till the end of the drama because it isn’t too far away when her younger sister will snatch her husband away from her. Misha also happens to be one such character who will be ditched because of her boring nature, obviously when it comes to the story, her younger sister is to be blamed but when it comes to the viewers, they are absolutely justified in finding her boring. Areeba Habib has worked hard in looking poised and elegant but the overall vibe of her character is just off.

Nuzhat (Deewangi)

Nuzhat has two accolades to her credit, she is the luckiest in this list because alongside being boring, she is sickeningly annoying too. Nuzhat happens to be another biggest reason why Hiba Bukhari panted instead of blurting out the words to save her marriage because Nuzhat told her to keep everything to herself and not tell Haroon the realities related to her past.

It is nice to see someone trying to show a brighter side of the picture, like Nuzhat used to do in the initial stages of the drama but now, it got to the point where she wanted her younger sister Nageen to close her eyes like a pigeon and assume the storm has passed or will eventually pass. Even now when she has seen that Nageen has lost everything, she was at the brink of getting divorced, being an elder sister, it was her duty to tell everything to Haroon but she chose not to. Boring and annoying *standing ovation*.

Areej (Jalan)

This isn’t the first time Hajra Yamin is playing the character of a girl who is in love with a man who loves someone else. Hmmm, there’s some self-respect missing in Areej’s life too because she is shown to be a domesticated girl who enjoys taking care of Ahmer. Areej loves Ahmer despite knowing that he was not only in love but engaged to be married to his cousin Nisha.

Areej was looking for Ahmer’s validation all these years and even though she knew she could not get married to him, she lurked around hoping to get noticed and validated by a guy who was already dealing with a baggage of his own. Ahmer is no ideal for any girl out there but oh wait, we have Areej who is ready to prove everyone wrong. So far, the introduction of Areej’s character is that she has no personality of her own, and the only thing she has as her identity is the love that she had for a committed man, who is already pushing and nudging her around. How boring!

Over the years, Pakistani celebrities have started to take their social media presence very seriously. Where the usage of social media has brought a lot of advantages to celebrities, they also take it as a way of staying connected to their fans. They get to interact and also happen to get feedback about their projects, which gives them an insight into what their fans think and expect from them. This is the reason, a lot more celebrities are getting comfortable with the idea of sharing candid moments with their fans, in the form of their real-life happenings, behind-the-scenes from their dramas or just having a heart-to-heart with the people who show their love and support to them.

It started off with the images, then it turned into elaborate photoshoots, then some short clips, and now, the celebrities continue to make videos and upload them on their social media handles for their fans to see. It is always interesting and heartening for the fans to connect with the celebrities on this level where they get to see them apart from their dramas and TV appearances as well.

Here are 10 interesting and fun videos that were recently posted by Pakistani celebrities:

Yasir Nawaz & His Brothers Wished Happy New Year Like Shah Brothers

Yasir and Danish Nawaz alongside their brother Faraz Nawaz decided to wish everyone Happy New Year in a very special manner by recreating the video of Ahmed Shah and his brothers. This video of Ahmed Shah and his brothers Abu Bakr and Umar surfaced when they decided to wish everyone New Year, although the video was super cute, what made it cuter was when Umar found himself in a bit of a fix where he knew that the video was being recorded but he decided to grab the packet of chips that fell on the ground. In the Nawaz brothers video, Danish Nawaz played the role of Umar and Faraz and Yasir acted like Ahmed and Abu Bakr. This was definitely one of the best and cutest New Year’s wishes Pakistanis got this year.

These are some of the fun videos posted by Pakistani celebrities over the last few months. Which one of these did you enjoy watching the most? Share your opinion in the comment section below.

Pakistani dramas have always been popular because of how close they are to reality and portray such scenarios which strike a chord for the viewers. The scenarios and situations presented are as such that each and every viewer at times find it very easy to relate to what is being shown and they often see their life story or similar experiences that they have had being elaborated in dramas. This aspect has been of utmost importance in Pakistani dramas where the talented writers and drama makers bring the touch of reality in every drama and don’t show any such scenarios which are not a depiction of what actually people go through.

The story of every drama is elaborated with the help of scenes and scenarios, this is how the story is carried forward and shows the skill-set of the drama makers. The factors that make any scene work are emotions that they evoke in the viewers, good dialogues, the entire setting and also the build up towards the turning point of the story. In recent dramas, Pakistani drama viewers and fans have come across some of the best scenes which were engaging and became unforgettable due to the way they were executed.

Let’s take a look at the 10 best scenes from recent Pakistani dramas:

The Confrontation Between Meer Farooq Zaman & Humera (Ye Dil Mera)

This was one such scene of Ye Dil Mera that will be remembered for a long long time because of the impact that it made. The display of acting in this scene by Adnan Siddique and Zarnish Khan is praise-worthy. They actually made the viewers understand what was running through their minds. Meer Farooq Zaman tried to harass Humera, the one who was his first love. Humera had moved on and after coming across Meer Farooq Zaman once again, she knew she made the right decision of not accepting his proposal in the first place. The refusal in the past followed by another refusal in the present made Meer Farooq Zaman cross all the limits and although he went to plead his case, he pushed Humera to detest him even more. This scene between Humera and Meer Farooq Zaman was nail-biting. Zarnish Khan outdid herself, making this one of the best scenes of the entire drama.

Praying For Guidance (Kashf)

This scene from Kashf was definitely one of the best scenes from all the episodes that have aired so far. The prayer of Kashf was well-worded and Hira Mani’s performance made it look so sincere and genuine. Kashf knew what she was getting into and after seeing how people were putting her on such a pedestal that she was not worthy of, Kashf decided to pray as well as remind herself yet again that she had no power over anything. The spirituality followed by the truth in Kashf’s speech made this scene beautiful and memorable.

The Deal Between Ramsha & Hatim’s Mother (Dushman e Jaan)

Ramsha’s character in Dushman e Jaan was a breath of fresh air. She was head-strong and opinionated but what set her apart was her sense of distinguishing between right and wrong. This is why she found herself in such an awkward position where although she came to make a deal with Hatim’s mother for a handsome amount of money which again she wanted for her family, she could not find herself stooping so low. This was one of the best moments of Dushman e Jaan where instead of making a deal, then and there, Ramsha not only reminded herself about the wrong she was about to commit and instead she made things right by promising Hatim’s mother to help her get close to her son. The dialogues in this scene were written beautifully, it showed how two women were sincerely promising to help one another.

Shanzay Giving a Piece of Her Mind (Ghalati)

In this entire drama, Shanzay’s character succeeded in leaving an impression. She was unapologetically honest and this is why she did not hesitate in showing people a mirror based on the accurate observations she made about them. Shanzay got married into a family which was already in a messy situation but unfortunately, because all the children followed their mother’s lead, they found themselves in a deepest pit as the days passed by. Shanzay knew she could not undo whatever had happened but she did not mind showing them a different perspective every chance she got. She was head-strong and independent but she also showed that she was not selfish because she genuinely wanted her husband’s sisters to not ruin their lives by making wrong choices. All the scenes of Shanzay giving a piece of her mind to her in-laws were some of the best ones from the drama and this one is no different.

Amaan Telling The Truth To Noor ul Ain (Ye Dil Mera)

There is no doubt about the fact that both Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly have given phenomenal performances in this drama. It is due to their pairing that Ye Dil Mera has reached the level of popularity and success. The story of this drama has been different but the acting of Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly has taken it to another level. They have shared some of the strongest scenes in this entire drama but this one is going to stay with the viewers for a long time because this was ‘the moment’ when Noor ul Ain finds out about her father and all the grudges her husband Amaanullah has against Meer Farooq Zaman. The ambiance created in this scene was another tick to make this scene one of the best from the drama.

The Cutest Apology (Pyaar Ke Sadqay)

Pyaar Ke Sadqay has wowed the viewers and fans of Bilal Abbas Khan and Yumna Zaidi. The kind of performances they have given to elevate the level of this uniquely written script dealing with such a sensitive subject is unprecedented. Yumna Zaidi is one of the finest actors of the Pakistani industry and Bilal Abbas Khan has already proved his mettle in such a short span of time, this is why their hard work and brilliant performances have made Pyaar Ke Sadqay what it is. This scene happens to be one of the best scenes of the drama because of the beauty with which the emotions were conveyed with Abdullah apologizing to Mahjabeen and showcasing how much he loved her.

The Promise Between Hassan and Anaya (Sabaat)

This was one of the sweetest scenes of Sabaat. Although the story of Sabaat mostly revolves around Hassan’s sister Miraal but the few scenes for which he gets the coverage, they are enough to make the viewers smile. The love story of Hassan and Anaya had an unusual start but it was interesting to see how gradually they both fell for each other. In this scene, Hassan decided to make Anaya understand that he should not be punished for the unpleasant behavior displayed by his father. Hassan’s genuine and sincere plea wins Anaya’s heart and they both make a promise. Although this sweet moment is ruined by Miraal but in the end, the assurance Anaya gives to Hassan while completely ignoring Miraal was the best part of this overall best scene.

Hatim’s Regret (Dushman e Jaan)

This is not the first time when Mohib Mirza has played a negative role but in Dushman e Jaan he has impressed the viewers to no end. He has embraced the character of Hatim to the T and has done justice to all the shades of his personality. Hatim is a disturbed lonely child who comes from a dysfunctional family, therefore he has harbored a lot of inner demons that he finds himself fighting with all the time. Hatim is guilty of seeing things from his perspective and not giving Ramsha a chance, therefore what has happened to her has a lot to do with the wrong decision he took in a spur of the moment. The regret, pain and aguinsh of Hatim was phenomenally conveyed by Mohib Mirza, making it one of the best scenes of Dushman e Jaan.

Aiza Standing Up For Her Sister (Bikhray Moti)

In times like these where it has become quite common to see damsel in distress in every other Pakistani drama, everyone loves an opinionated female lead, standing up for the rights of the oppressed and calling spade a spade. Bikhray Moti is in the initial stages but the character of Aiza is enough to make it promising. She is someone who can not stand oppression in any shape or form, this is why every time she saw her sister giving authority to her husband over her, it riled Aiza up. Her sister was in an abusive relationship and ended up losing her life, but when she was alive, Aiza did all she could to extend her support to her elder sister; even if it meant coming face to face with her brother in law to tell him off.

Sisters In Law Consoling Each Other (Kashf)

The story of Kashf is different and has caught the attention of drama buffs. There are a lot of aspects that have been brought to the forefront in this drama, but the one that makes the viewers connect to the characters on a personal level is by showing their struggles. The writer of this drama has also broken a stereotype by showing that two sisters in law can also be of an emotional support to one another. They can help each other in times of need and feel for each other. This equation shared by Dilshad and Ayesha in the drama serial Kashf is not only refreshing but perspective altering as well.

This completes the list of 10 best scenes from the recent Pakistani dramas. Which one of these dramas are you following? Did you enjoy these scenes? Feel free to share your opinion in the comment section below.

Sajal Aly is one of the finest actors of Pakistani drama industry. She joined the industry at a very young age and has worked in a lot of dramas which gave her a lot of opportunities to refine and groom herself as an actor. Sajal Aly always believed in convincing acting and displaying her skills, this is the reason she always impressed the viewers with her performances. However, in the last few years, Sajal Aly has also groomed herself and has started paying more attention to how she carries her characters in different dramas. This is the reason her looks and styling is very different which suits the dynamics of her character. This also gives her characters a realistic feel and then the rest of the impact is made with her measured acting.

Sajal Aly has garnered a lot of appreciation for her work in her currently on air drama Ye Dil Mera. It is due to end this week, however Sajal Aly has done enough to leave a long lasting impression on her fans, followers as well as all the drama viewers because of the acting she has displayed in the last few episodes. Alongside being a fine actor, Sajal Aly is also beautiful and the way she has looked gorgeous in all the episodes of Ye Dil Mera, is a proof in itself.

Let’s take a look at the 10 best looks of Sajal Aly in Ye Dil Mera:

The Casual Attire

The character of Ana is shown to be a girl in her early 20’s, therefore when the drama began, Sajal Aly kept her attire very casual and comfortable. However, she made sure that the overall look was still chic and stylish. She wore a lot of Tees and carried them with such effortlessness, that it looked like she perfectly represented that demographic. Her T-shirts were mostly simple solid colored or striped, but it suited Sajal Aly a lot.

The University Wardrobe

Sajal Aly wore western wear during the university phase of Ana’s life. The only difference was that she threw in some checkered shirts over her plain tees and voila, she was ready. This was a perfect way of showcasing how ease and utmost comfort is the priority of the university going students who do not want to put in too much effort. The layered shirts worn on top of skinny fit jeans and jeggings was a good choice of Sajal Aly. In Ye Dil Mera, Sajal Aly’s personal wardrobe preferences can easily be seen throughout the journey!

The Office Attire

This phase of Ana’s life didn’t last for too long but the few scenes where she was working as an internee at an office, her overall looks were stylish and chic. She usually wore jackets and slim-fit coats on top of skinny jeans, knits and completed the looks with heels. Her styling during the office scenes was on point. A few classy accessories and different hairstyles gave her a very sophisticated look.

The Knits and Oversized Sweatshirts

Most of Ana’s wardrobe consisted of knits and loose sweatshirts. She has worn these at home, at university and also in Daryabagh. She carried them stylishly as well. By going for a variety of knits and sweatshirts, Sajal Aly got to wear a lot of different colors, such as bright blues, reds, browns, yellows and greys, which showed that every color looks good on her. She stuck to the jeggings and skinny-fit jeans throughout the drama and with a frame as petite as hers, she has carried it flawlessly.

The Bridal Looks

In Ye Dil Mera, Ana had her engagement party, Nikkah ceremony, then she is seen in her mayoun dress and then as a bride. In all four of these scenarios, Sajal looked beautiful and with a little change in makeup, her overall styling and looks completely changed. Sajal Aly has given a lot of thought on how to show Ana’s transition from a pampered only child and university student to a married woman, which proved to be pivotal for a visual effect and growth of her character.

The Newly Wedded Girl’s Styling

Sajal Aly once again wore very simple trousers and long shirts in a few scenes where Ana is shown to be going for a dinner or getting ready to go out. Plain solid colored shirts and white trousers, at times black chiffon shirt and trousers with long dupatta. She didn’t miss to wear nude heels, dangling earrings and bangles, which was enough to show her as a newly wedded girl. She has shown that the simplest of dresses when worn with confidence and grace end up looking so elegant and stylish.

The Semi Casual Eastern Attire

Ana also wore a couple of kurtas during the day when she was newly married to Amaan and would wait for him at home or go around looking for clues. The choices of kurtas were just right and also gave another edge to her character that she had pretty much given up on her tees and wanted to look presentable all the time wearing fancy design kurtas.

Different Hairstyles

Sajal Aly has carried so many hairstyles as Ana and has looked perfect in each one of them. Sajal is blessed with naturally beautiful hair, therefore the hairstylists made the most of it and did everything they could to give her different looks using variety of hairstyles. She has worn her hair in fancy braids, in buns, has worn them in lose luscious curls as well as kept them straight. In all the different scenes, her styling was taken a couple of notches ahead with perfectly styled hair!

Fresh Looking Minimal Makeup

Sajal Aly has worked a lot on the kind of makeup that she wears in her dramas. She does not need much makeup but because it is the demand of the camera, she makes sure not to go too heavy handed. In Ye Dil Mera in particular she has kept her makeup to an absolute minimum and has gone for the looks which make it believable that a young girl can do that much makeup to get ready to go out. A thin layer of foundation, an eyeliner thin enough to accentuate the natural beautiful eye shape of hers, neutral shades of browns and lots of mascara is what Sajal’s makeup is all about. She also wears lip and cheek tints to give her face a healthy flush of pink and that’s all that she needs.

The Winter Wear

This was worn by Ana during her visit to Daryabagh and this was probably the most stylish look of all. She wore beautiful jackets on top of plain tee-shirts, knits, skinny jeans and long boots. She also added in different mufflers which completed the winter wear look and during the last few episodes, her styling has definitely caught the attention. The loose curls, natural looking makeup and such stylish yet simple western wear has definitely become Sajal Aly’s look to remember.

This completes the list of 10 best looks of Sajal Aly from Ye Dil Mera. Have you also noticed how gorgeous she has looked throughout the drama and how perfect her styling has been? Which one of these looks and attires are your favorite? Feel free to share your opinion in the comment section below.

Camera always demands a certain level of preparation from the actors before appearing in front of it. This gives birth to beauty trends that the actors sport in their projects. After a lot of trial and errors, they get a hold of all the tips and tricks that may work on them but when it meets the eyes of the audience, they fail to do what the actors relied on them for. Makeup and actor’s job go hand in hand, this is the reason the makeup artistry has evolved so much over the years and the cosmetic industry is thriving.

Pakistani actors are more image conscious than ever before, because the showbiz industry has become far too competitive and everyone wants to look their absolutely best. This is the reason they often rely on makeup to take the edge off and target the issues the actors are conscious about. They also rely on makeup to add age or certain look to their characters. However, the results may or maynot be flattering when they appear on-screen. Drama viewers have also become quite aware about the beauty trends and they can easily differentiate between what looks good on an actor and what doesn’t. With so many skilled makeup artists and hairstylists at their disposal, it is actually shocking to see the actors not paying heed to minute cosmetic and styling details which actually creates the overall look of the character and helps it appear to be realistic or relatable. It is a fact that those actors who opt for realistic looks without paying too much attention to the cosmetic and glamorous side of the job tend to convey the emotions of the character with a lot of ease, this way the audience also connect with such characters more and find them closer to reality.

Here at the 10 beauty trends that should go away from Pakistani dramas:

Poorly Attached Hair Extensions

This has to be one of the most irksome beauty trends that the Pakistani actresses have started resorting to recently. Hair extensions add volume as well as give the actresses the desired length they want to achieve the look of their character. Properly attached and merged hair extensions do the job pretty well, however when unblended with the natural hair, hair extensions stick out like sore thumb and instead of enhancing the overall beauty of the character or actor, they end up being a massive distraction. The hairstylists should pay special attention to the proper usage of hair extensions and should know that they can not get away with unblended hair pieces

Stark Brown Uniform Hair Color

It seems as if one actress these days is responsible for buying the hair dyes for her co and fellow actors, therefore without dwelling into much hassle and making it hard for herself, she buys multiple packs of hair dyes in single color and then they get together at one place, apply the hair dye to each other’s head and voila! End up looking exactly the same. There is no variety whatsoever in the hair color that is being currently seen in Pakistani dramas. What’s wrong with sporting beautiful natural hair color. There’s nothing wrong in sporting a hair dye too, but having some variety or difference in choice of color is not injurious to health!

Male Actors Wearing Lip Tints & Eyeshadows

This has to be one of the most unflattering beauty trends that Pakistani male actors have been relying on for years. Venomish purple, rosey pink, cherry red, orangish orange, peaches, you name it, they have worn it on their lips. Having some color on lips or face is probably the demand of the camera to not make the look so washed out but some actors take it too far and end up looking like they ate all the tinted candies that were available in the tuc shop nearby or probably decided to financially help the humble pan vendor by eating the entire pan supply of the day. Some actors also go as far as defining the crease of the eyes with brown eyeshadows and also accentuate the eyes by cutting an edge at the end, giving them more cat-eye, feline effect, which is best suited for female actors!

Precisely Shaved Beards

This look goes well if it is the demand of the character, where a male character is meant to show something special about him but these days, every other male actor sports the same look. No one is telling them to go around with untrimmed, untamed, unshaved beards, but making them look like they had used a ruler and measuring tape beneath the trimmer to achieve the perfect and precise lines is a bit of a stretch. Especially in those scenes when the actors’ lives turn upside down, what doesn’t budge is the lining of their beards!

Cheapest Wigs

If you ever want to see a tutorial on how a badly installed, cheaply made wig looks like on someone’s head, all you have to do is tune to Pakistani dramas because you will get a huge variety. It will also convince you that you don’t have to do this to yourself because you will end up looking funny. This is one thing that the actors should really be wary of because cheaply made wigs might scratch and injure their scalps. Oh the itch!

Powdery Under Eyes

This trend has recently become widely popular among Pakistani actors, male and female both. This one takes after the famous contouring and highlighting trends where the attention is brought to certain areas of the face using banana/yellow powders. It is mostly applied under the eyes, on the bridge of the nose, center of the forehead and chin to bring attention to these areas. The undereye banana powder that Pakistani actresses use is always unblended and doesn’t really do the job it is applied for. It further accentuates the eyebags or hollows under their eyes and more than the actress screams, the powdery finish seems to be screaming far more for a fix+ on top to mellow down the powdery look!

White Washed Faces

If there’s ever going to be a petition against a beauty trend in Pakistani dramas, it should be this one. White washed faces of all the actors who have a beautiful wheatish or even fair wheatish complexion. It is not only ridiculous but also very distracting to see dusky faced beautiful actors ending up looking grey and ashy due to a failed attempt of looking fair and lovely. A lot of actors do speak up about representation of all the beautiful skin tones that Pakistanis are blessed with, but when it comes to dramas, it seems the producers and the actors themselves do not really want to wear their real complexion with pride, hence the white washed faces. It is about time that the narrative of fair being beautiful is changed. In Pakistani dramas fair is equivalent to grey as elephant and that most certainly is not an ideal look.

Few White Strands To Show Old Age

If you want to look old, it’s better to spread the white fibres all over your head to look realistic but keeping the glamorous side of the job in mind, a lot of actors tend to only wear a white strand to show they have aged a lot. This is another unflattering, unrealistic trend which doesn’t really do justice to the overall look or feel of the character.

Perfect Makeup While Crying

This has to be one of the most unrealistic beauty trends that prevalent in Pakistani dramas. If after white-washed faced, there’s one trend that deserves a petition against it, it is this one because no one in the first place wears so much of makeup when the life is turned upside down and if by chance you’re glammed up and end up crying when the emotions kick in, the makeup is the first thing to smudge on your face and turn you into a Dayan from Diana. Pakistani actresses probably wear sweat proof, heat proof, water proof, tear proof, mazloomiyat proof and bechargi proof makeup because no matter how bad circumstances are in their lives, the rosiness of their cheeks doesn’t subside, the mascara doesn’t budge and they look pretty, pretty unrealistically!

Johnny Bravo Puffs

Johnny Bravo is the stud still loved by the viewers who used to watch him. He was known for his hairstyle but it seems Pakistani actors are very much stuck on him and fail to accept that there are a lot more hairstyles that they can experiment with. The hard cardboard like puffs on the heads of the male actors, which stand tall amidst the storms and natural disasters not only look monotonous but also very unrealistic. It is unrealistic for them to always have gelled back puffs stuffed on their heads, that too in the humid weather of Pakistan.

This concludes the list of 10 beauty trends that should change in Pakistani dramas. Which one of these annoy you the most? Feel free to share your opinion in the comment section below.
