He has also worked in many Pakistani drama serials, some of his popular projects are “Zakham”, “Tera Mera Rishta” and “Ali Ki Ammi”.

Pakistani drama writers understand that a drama needs a strong storyline and well etched-out characters in order to engage the viewers and leave a lasting impression. Nowadays many writers bank on shortcuts to make their characters attractive therefore any character that fits the bill is highly appreciated. The bechari aurat is the easiest and most commonly used shortcut. Black and white characters are also considered an easy way to gain the sympathies of the viewers or to make them hate a character. What makes an on-screen character truly impressive is firstly when it is not clichéd, secondly, it is not one-dimensional and most importantly the viewers should be able to relate to the character. Whether the character is good, bad, or grey the motives and personality traits of the character should not confuse the viewers. If a character is unpredictable then that is great but logic comes before everything else.
Out of all the Pakistani dramas that aired in 2021 here is the list of those female characters that can easily be termed as the best:
It won’t be wrong to say that Mehreen happens to be such a character which is rarely seen in a Pakistani drama. Writer Umera Ahmed has definitely brought something new to the table by giving so many layers to Mehreen. The best part about her character is how she always tries to fight and come up with solutions against all odds. Things have never been in Mehreen’s favor but she still tries to steer through whatever life pans out for her. The thing that sets her apart is how broken she is but never ever uses her miseries to seek sympathy or even validation from anyone. Mehreen happens to be the most misunderstood person in the family with almost everyone against her. In Pakistani dramas, where we get to see so many ‘bechari’ female characters, Mehreen definitely stands out that where as much as you feel for, you can also see why she behaves the way she does & that definitely makes her a very interesting character. Mahira Khan has definitely done justice to Mehreen’s character by portraying all the shades of her personality phenomenally.
When you look at Almas’s character in the drama serial Azmaish, the only word that comes to your mind is how ‘nurturing’ she is. Although we would’ve hoped that at least she had a bit more confidence and say in the matters concerning her daughter’s life but she was shown to be extremely submissive. This was again her way of being obliged and grateful to her second husband for providing a decent living to her daughter Nimra. Almas was someone who always had the best interest of everyone around her, even Shiza and Samreen who never truly respected or accepted her as their mother. Almas was always in a difficult situation but she still pushed through with patience and perseverance knowing this was the only way to keep the entire family together. Laila Wasti has always been graceful and she was at her finest in the drama serial Azmaish.
Minal’s character in the drama serial Dunk was definitely a breath of fresh air. It is always nice to see such characters who stand by the truth and push through no matter what. Minal stood by Haider when everyone, including his own family, disowned him and chose not to trust him. Minal did have her rough patches where she found it hard to stay firm. The best aspect about Minal’s character was her approach towards everything that Haider was going through and most importantly, never settling for half-baked explanations. Minal always looked for answers and the complete picture because she knew this was going to help her stay focused and also allow her to be with Haider in tough times. Minal chose to trust Haider when no one trusted him, making her a strong companion and a character as well. It was good to see Azekah Daniel playing such a substantial character that too convincingly.
Saira’s journey in the drama serial Dunk was full of ups and downs but the best part about her was her strength and courage as a woman to accept and shape her life accordingly. Saira lost her husband but she never once questioned his character and credibility. Saira understood that she had a young child, for whom she had to be strong. Saira and Humayun’s daughter was already facing so much at a tender age and although Saira took her time to mourn the loss of her husband, she realized that she had to pick herself up only for the sake of her child. Saira not only forgave Haider but chose to be a bigger person to understand how he was manipulated too. Yasra Rizvi is a measured performer and she got to showcase that in the drama serial Dunk.
The story of the drama serial Phaans was all about the survivor and it was nothing short of a treat to see a strong character like Zeba. She knew that she was going against the tide but she turned her misfortune into fuel that ignited the passion in her to fight for justice. Zeba was put through so much but she stayed focused because she knew she wanted to see her abuser behind the bars. At the beginning of the drama, Zeba was shown as a wise and intelligent girl and it was nice to see her character arc where she relied on herself and didn’t settle for what others offered to her. Zeba did find a strong support system in the form of her mother and Samad, but it was only because her courage was unwavering that they also found the courage to stand by her. Zara Noor Abbas gave Zeba’s character the right kind of treatment to make this performance as well as the character memorable.
Drama serial Laapata focused on the younger generation and the problems faced by them on different fronts in life. In Falak’s journey, her mistake was trusting the wrong person but the way she emerged from it showed how strong she was if she put her mind to something. Falak was fierce and self-sufficient but it didn’t turn her aloof or emotionally unavailable. She was always very much affected by what her family members went through. This is exactly why she kept everything to herself because she didn’t want her father to be upset. Another brilliant aspect of Falak’s journey was that she did not shy away from happiness and when life gave her the opportunity, she settled for it. Falak was someone who lived life her way and because she was always so sorted, she ended up winning the support of her family too. Sarah Khan was a perfect choice to play the character of Falak, she was a perfect mix of strong and sweet.
Wafa Be Mol is another drama serial that has quite a few characters which can easily be termed as cliched but it also has some exceptional characters and Fatima is one of them. Fatima is one of the most intelligent and caring young ladies we got to see in dramas this year. Her intelligent and nurturing nature makes her a really likable character. We look forward to her scenes and she never disappoints.
Although the story of the drama serial Mohlat was centered around Maham’s character, it won’t be wrong to say that Navera caught more attention because of the total contrast between Maham and Navera’s personalities. Navera always felt unwelcomed and unwanted, she suffered from low self-esteem but despite such grave circumstances, she still had the courage to stand by the right. Navera found the support she needed from her sister Rida and that was enough for her to understand how much potential she herself had. Navera was always neglected but she was so nurturing and understood what neglect and rejection do to you. This is exactly why she chose to be the complete opposite of that and with this, she was able to win everyone over. Navera’s journey wasn’t easy but her kindness and confidence turned things around for her. Komal Aziz Khan was definitely the star of this show and she brought a lot of warmth in a drama that was so focused on the negativity churned out by Maham.
Rida’s character was definitely fun to watch. She was the kind of person who had a very easy-going approach to life. Rida was someone who would always look for comedy in situations but that didn’t mean she did not understand the intricacies of relationships, circumstances, and life. In so many instances, Rida always used to be the voice of reason and because she never took things to her heart, she believed in seeing things for what they were and calling spade a spade. This is what made Rida’s character so special and enjoyable to watch. Sabeena Farooq’s effortless acting and dialogue delivery made this character a lot more special.
Bubbly is a one-of-a-kind character from the drama serial Parizaad which breaks stereotypes and highlights so many important aspects about people who cannot identify with the gender they are born with. The reason for this ‘confusion’ and the conflict within Bubbly has been shown with utmost clarity. You feel for this character and it helps you learn more about people who face similar struggles. It is always great to see writers penning down such exceptional characters. Saboor Aly’s performance also raised the bar really high.
In the drama serial Fitoor, it won’t be wrong to say that the only wise and rational character was Haider’s mother played beautifully by Ismat Zaidi. She saw how hard her only child has struggled and how long it took him to move past the heartbreak, therefore she was adamant to turn things around. She was the kind of mother who understood and adored her son but was also not afraid to call him out when she felt he was losing sight of rationality. She did what it takes to make her daughter-in-law Dilnasheen feel welcomed and a part of the family. She realized that because Haider was still preoccupied with the thoughts of Mehmal, it was affecting his relationship with Dilnasheen and for that, she was being the voice of reason and called spade a spade. In Pakistani dramas, it is a rarity to find such mothers-in-law who do not turn a blind eye to the faults of their own sons, therefore this character is not only refreshing but the best one from the drama serial Fitoor.
Afreen was a breath of fresh air in the drama serial Aulaad which had many selfish and negative characters. Afreen was a woman who was caring and loving, even though her husband did not support his parents but she always tried her best to make her husband understand that he was not being fair. She had some really positive traits but she was not been able to ‘help’ her husband or his family the way she would have wanted to. Even though she disagreed with her husband on so many things but she went along with whatever he decided and did so without coming across as a bechari. The writer through this character showed that sometimes the daughters-in-law can give the kind of love to their parents-in-law which the sons do not. Since there were two other daughters-in-law in the drama who were selfish and manipulative, Afreen balanced out this negativity and kept the portrayals from being stereotypical. Sunita Marshal pulled off this character elegantly throughout hence making it stand out.
We were genuinely pleased to see an accurate representation of people with special needs in Aulaad. Mooni was one such character who had certain challenges because of which her parents had to constantly struggle to keep her situation from getting worse. Since every character in this drama served a bigger purpose, we feel that Mooni also served the purpose of making people see that such people need unconditional love. They are also sensitive and loving individuals who are easily disturbed if they are met with challenges that are incredibly overwhelming. Through this character, the writer also showed how important the support of the entire family is in order to keep such family members from feeling alienated. Mooni’s tragic ending was one of the most emotional moments of this drama. Qudsia Ali’s effortless portrayal made the viewers fall in love with her character. Mooni’s exit from the drama proved to be a turning point for many characters in the drama.
Sumbul was the main lead in drama serial Dil Na Umeed Tu Nahin. Despite of everything that happened to her, she never gave up and continued fighting for her freedom. Her backstory was presented on screen in such a way that the viewers had no difficulty relating to who Sumbul was and what shaped up her personality from the start. She was sold to Surraya auntie at a young age and even though she had been living this life for so long, she did not only wish to be free herself one day but she had a bigger objective of freeing all the other girls as well. Strong, sensitive, fearless, and wise, Sumbul was the kind of leading lady who reaffirms our faith in Pakistani dramas. Her journey was carried forward convincingly and her ending was perfect. Yumna Zaidi’s brilliant performance has definitely added more intensity to this character.
Dil Na Umeed Tu Nahin had so many strong supporting characters, Najma was one of them. Najma was a mother who supported her daughters even though it required going against her husband’s will most of the time. She was not a rebel but an intelligent woman who made a difference bit by bit. The character had been written down logically and translated on screen convincingly. She was a caring and nurturing woman who fought against all odds and was wise enough to know the challenges she faced. Samiya Mumtaz made Najma’s character a treat to watch because she brought out her gentle and caring nature superbly on screen.
Surraya auntie ran a brothel and she was once a young girl who was sold just like all the other girls who worked for her. She lacked empathy; she was also highly manipulative and materialistic. This was another character that aptly represented a vicious circle. Even though she was once a victim of human trafficking, she did not think twice before putting the girls’ lives in danger. She learned to be cruel at a young age therefore all she cared about were material gains. The way she exploited girls and manipulated them was presented so well on screen. Her ending showed how she too was no more than a puppet in the hands of those who were behind the scenes running everything. Navid Shehzad was absolutely phenomenal in this role.
In the drama serial Raqeeb Se, the writer Bee Gul has brought forth such a situation which has probably not been seen before in any other Pakistani drama. Through the character of Hajra, the writer has shown how big-hearted a woman can be, how selfless she can be and when she puts her mind to it, how nurturing she can be for everyone around her. Hajra loved her husband and justified it every step of the way and this is why she put everyone around her in perplexity when they saw her calmness and selflessness. Hajra’s love for Maqsood was her strength, which made her selfless to accept the fact that her husband can share his life with a woman he had loved all his life. Hajra was like the binding force of this entire family and although she never gave herself enough credit, she was an integral part of Maqsood’s life who provided him the home, the comfort he needed after all that he went through. Sania Saeed breathed life into this character and made it a lot more special.
Sakina had a tough life, she knew that she won’t be able to find happiness in her life but she chose to pay the price in order to ensure the safety and life of the man she loved. Sakina was full of secrets but she chose silence over everything because she came to terms with what her life had offered her. She loved Maqsood all her life but just because she realized that he has a life of his own, she felt burdened being around him. Sakina never denied loving Maqsood but her respect towards him was bigger than the love she had for him. Hadiqa Kiyani’s portrayal of Sakina was so measured that actually made you feel her pain. This character wouldn’t have left such an impact if it wasn’t for Hadiqa Kiyani’s brilliant performance.
As is evident from many of the names included in this list, we absolutely love strong female protagonists who use their strength wisely. Insha was one such character from Raqeeb Se. She was a working woman who was raised by her father in such a way so that she could be completely independent. She was also extremely sensitive which is why she noticed when her father did not love her mother the way she deserved to be loved. Insha was a feminist with a heart of gold. Her relationships were used in an effective manner to show her strengths and weaknesses. This character wouldn’t have been so impactful had Faryal Mehmood not translated it superbly on screen. Insha will surely be remembered for a long time.
Nargis was fierce, she was confident and she was sorted. Nargis had dealt with her fair shares of heartbreak and had seen the ugliest side of life up close, therefore she came to the point that whatever her life was offering her, she had to cherish and value it. This is exactly why she turned out to be such a dutiful and sincere wife and accepted her stepdaughter with all her heart. Nargis was the kind of person who liked to empower others around her even if it meant she had to give up and nurture it by sacrificing a great deal. Nargis’ character was so layered but the best part about her was that she treated people the way they deserve to be treated – she could be your absolute best friend or your total nightmare, given what you wanted her to be. Nargis was wise, intelligent, and had a very distinct perspective towards life. The best part about Nargis was that she never shied away from speaking her mind and she was always right. It won’t be wrong to say, this is one character that has put Rabia Butt’s name on the map. Nargis was definitely the best character seen in a Pakistani drama this year. She is going to stay with the viewers for a long long time.
Zainab had faced rejection, sadness, and heartbreak, and although she had come to terms with it, she was still recovering. The sad part was that because her own family, especially her brother and her mother chose not to hear her out and trust her, she found it hard to move on. Zainab was a depiction of helpless and hopeless women in society who could have had a better chance at life but were ripped off of their happiness. It was beautiful how despite not having much to give, she at least understood what her younger brother was facing and was always there to support him. Zainab came up with some of the most profound advice for Aslam and the relationship she shared with him was simply beautiful. Uzma Hassan was at her finest in Pehli Si Mohabbat and it won’t be wrong to say, she and Rabia Butt were the only good thing about this entire drama.
Pardes was an exceptional drama serial that had so many different characters. Zubaida was the leading lady in the drama whose journey was covered in a convincing manner. Through this character, the writer highlighted the troubles of all those women who had to raise their children on their own and had to constantly compromise. Even though Zubaida always put everyone else before her own self, she was somehow a likable character. She lived her life in a dignified manner and got the kind of ending which was gratifying. Shaista Lodhi made a really intelligent move by choosing to play this role and she did complete justice to it.
Aimen’s journey in Pardes started when she was a kid. The viewers watched this kid witnessing the double standards of her immediate family. She also witnessed how her father’s absence and everyone’s selfishness made her childhood bitter and her mother’s life difficult. She grew up to be an outspoken and confident young woman who had certain vulnerabilities and insecurities as well. However, she always spoke her mind whenever she felt that someone was not being fair. Her character was the center of attention for all the right reasons. Durr-e-Fishan acted brilliantly throughout, making Aimen a memorable character.
It is always refreshing watching strong female characters on screen. Noor is one such character from Aakhir Kab Tak who is fierce, intelligent, loving, and caring. Even though she was raised in a household where she watched her mother suffering constantly, she refused to accept the norms set by her family. Her character has been etched out brilliantly because there isn’t a single situation where she uses her confidence in a way that would make the viewers question her. Her character has played a major role in bringing about much-needed changes in the way things work in the house. She has through her insight and knowledge turned her father’s business into a complete success. If it weren’t for Noor, her mother would never have realized all the mistakes which she made. Ushna Shah’s brilliant performance makes this character even more likable.
Fajar’s character is completely different from Noor’s; she lacks confidence and depends entirely on her sister for support. Her character perfectly and aptly shows how constant disapproval and scorning affect a child’s personality. Even though Fajar lacks confidence and is socially awkward, she has always been shown as someone who is completely capable of critical thinking. The only reason she was targeted by her class fellow to be the next victim was her timid personality. The writer has through this character shown that rape victims cannot just move on after finding a partner who loves them but they need help from professionals. Usually, such characters are one-dimensional but Fajar’s character isn’t so. Srha Asghar’s performance makes this character even more convincing.
For the longest time, Safia was the weakest character in the drama serial Aakhir Kab Tak and perhaps also one which we have seen in dramas many times before. What makes her eligible for this list is the fact that this character underwent a massive transformation which was shown realistically. Even when Safia was being physically and verbally abused by her husband and other people in the house, the writer used this character to send such a strong message to all the mothers out there about how not to raise their children! Although there are many dramas in which such helpless mothers are shown but Safia’s struggles truly resonated with the viewers because the impact they had on her life and on her children’s lives had been shown on screen so aptly. Apart from this, the change in her character has been the best. Javeria Abbasi’s impressive performance made it even easier for us to relate to this well-written character.
This completes the list of best female characters seen in Pakistani dramas this year. Which one of these is your favorite? Feel free to add more names and share your opinion in the comment section below.

This was another entertaining episode of Ishq e Laa which was for the most part convincing. There were however some scenes and scenarios which could have been shown in a more convincing manner. Tonight’s episode also showed different shades of some of the characters. The fearlessness of the female protagonists is already coming across as their weakness. This drama reminds me of Alif Allah Aur Insan. I have a feeling that Azlan’s character might have a journey similar to the one Mikaal’s character had in Alif Allah Aur Insan. Azaan Sami Khan’s performance in this episode was more convincing than it was in the first two. This drama definitely has a different feel to it. Watching Yumna Zaidi and Sajal Aly together in a drama is nothing short of a treat. Even though Azka’s character has been crying endlessly, her feelings have been reflected well through her dialogues which make her state of mind easier to understand. Azka’s dialogues about the difference between the rich and the poor were my favorite from this episode.
Tonight’s episode opened with yet another confrontation between Azlan and Azka. There has been a great deal of focus on these two, sometimes more than Azlan and Shanaya. The fact that Azlan’s mother asked Azka to serve Azlan and his friend even after that incident showed that she lacked foresight. Even though she comes across as a decent woman who respects her house staff, she is incapable of holding her son accountable. She apologized to him for questioning his actions and in a way told Azka off, later on. I must say that Ghazala Kaifi was not too comfortable delivering some of the dialogues which took away the impact which this scene should have had. Even the scene in which Azka tells Azlan to shut up wasn’t impactful enough because of the camerawork. I am glad we got to see different shades of Azlan’s character in this episode. Even though the most prominent trait of his personality continues to be his inflated ego, he has a definite likeness for Shanaya, and perhaps that is what Shanaya finds attractive.
Shanaya and Azlan are best friends yet somehow she does not see all the flaws in his personality as a ‘problem’. Her dil ke hatho majboor dialogue yet again suggested that she was head over heels in love with him. We all know by now that Shanaya is impulsive and like Azlan said she has her own set of ideas that are far from reality. She follows her heart therefore perhaps that is why she ignores all the red flags! In the previous two episodes I had a really difficult time understanding why this girl was in love with someone like Azlan but tonight their relationship seemed to make some sense. Azlan does not ‘love’ Shanaya but he does give her a lot of attention and time. Some of Shanaya’s dialogues suggested that she realized that Azlan had this toxic side but she did not see that as a problem. She is clearly an open-minded person who does not judge people in general. That is why she went to apologize to Azka but then she also did not hold back when she felt Azka was being unreasonable.
Even though Shanaya loves Azlan, she makes sure that her career is not sidelined in any way because of him. Shanaya’s fearless nature isn’t the most appealing part of her character but I am glad that the writer has made it clear why she is not afraid of speaking her mind and questioning the wrongdoers. Also, it is always refreshing watching working women with an actual aim in life in dramas!
Even though tonight’s episode of Ishq e Laa was not faultless, I enjoyed watching it. It is interesting that all the characters so far have a life other than their interactions with each other! Watching a working woman as one of the main protagonists is another aspect of the drama which I find appealing even though Shanaya’s fearlessness is somewhat annoying! The dialogues in this episode were not too heavy-duty but meaningful. Also, I like the way the writer has been using situations to show different perspectives. The opening scene for example showed how differently Azlan and his mother perceived and reacted to the situation. Azlan could not see Azka’s injured hand because he was too busy holding her accountable. I am definitely waiting to find out where the journeys of these characters go from here because all these tracks have so much potential. Why are Azlan and Azka’s confrontations getting so much attention and screen time? Where is this track leading? Those were some of the questions in my mind after watching this episode. Most of the performances tonight were impressive. Yumna Zaidi was outstanding in the confrontation scene. Sajal Aly is a phenomenal actress who never fails to impress. Apart from the main leads, Laila Wasti and Seemi Raheel gave the most realistic performances.
Did you watch tonight’s episode of Ishq e Laa? Share your thoughts about it.
A few days ago a video of Pakistan’s talented actor Sheheryar Munawar went viral on the internet in which he was touching the feet of ace actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Mahira Khan was also with him and later on they also posed for a picture together. The event occurred at Filmfare International achievers awards. Sheheryar Munawar came under severe criticism after the moment went viral. People said that respecting someone is good but Muslims don’t touch feet of humans, it is against Islamic values and beliefs. People were of the view that Pakistani artists should maintain their class in front of Indian artists
Lately, Sheheryar Munawar opened up about his controversy regarding Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Talking to Amna Isani about it, Sheheryar Munawar said that it was his candid moment which was breached by someone just because he was an actor. He further said, “as an actor you have to be on guard all the time which is so unfair, can’t I enjoy any of my moment within my private place”
He said, “it was a normal chit chat session where I was narrating him dialogue, I was talking to him and then Mahira urged to me to touch the feet of Guru Ji, and I said ‘why not?’, even Nawaz Ul Din Siddiqui stopped me”, 
He further said, “it was just a moment and we were having fun, I am Sindhi and it is in our culture, I touch the feet of my father, my senior Asim Raza, I touch feet of Nigah Ji too”.
He said that the person who spread it, had just cut a short clip, omitted all the scenario and tried to portray that particular moment in a negative manner, he further said that it is bad form of journalism to spread negativity in such hard times. Have a look at his point of view regarding it.

Sumbul Iqbal’s sister Kompal Iqbal’s wedding recently made headlines on the internet. It was a luxurious wedding and a number of celebrities were also spotted at the event. For her sister’s wedding, Sumbul Iqbal opted for a heavily embellished red Haris Shakeel number. Sumbul indeed looked breathtaking at the event. Here we have added a few clicks of Sumbul Iqbal from her sister’s wedding.
Sumbul Iqbal indeed looked stunning but the public find Sumbul’s dress quite bizarre. People are off the view that it was Kompal Iqbal’s big day and being a bride she was supposed to look different and Sumbul killed all the bridal charm of Kompal by wearing a heavily embellished dress with the dress color similar to Kompal’s bridal dress. People find it hard to differentiate between the bride and her sister. Let’s have a look at the comments that netizens made on Sumbul’s Iqbal’s over-the-top dressing.

Characterizations play a pivotal role in any script at all. In dramas, they make an even bigger difference since their journeys can be the main factor in enticing the viewers. Different shades of the characters in a drama attract the attention of the viewers. Even a negative character can stand out and leave a mark if it is etched out well. Similarly, a well-etched-out supporting character can sometimes have more of an impact than a leading character. In order for a character to stand out, it should be layered and logical. The best dramas are obviously those in which the leading and the supporting characters hold the interest of the viewers and keep them intrigued. Also, the journey of these characters plays a crucial role in making them more appealing. Every year, Pakistani drama writers give us so many unforgettable characters that leave a lasting impression. This year there were so many dramas that had the most amazing characters, both positive and negative. Since there were so many of these characters, we decided to make a separate list for male and female characters.
Here is the list of all those beautifully etched-out characters that truly impressed us in 2021:
Hashim Nadeem has given us some of the most memorable male leads therefore it does not come as a surprise that his new male lead in a drama serial won the viewers over almost immediately! Parizaad is a young man whose outward appearance does not match his name. He has been shown as someone who has faced constant rejection and is a sensitive person who registered everything he ever went through. Even after going through so much, Parizaad always had a heart of gold. The situations this character has been through and his dialogues which represent his state of mind make this character one that is refreshing and touching at the same time. Parizaad’s journey never ceases to surprise the viewers and even though he has made so many decisions that left the viewers in shock, we can’t help but look forward to what his journey has in store. Ahmed Ali Akbar’s outstanding performance has definitely given this character the edge it needed to truly stand out.
Parizaad is one of those few Pakistani dramas this year which has quite a few outstanding supporting characters. Behroze Karim was one such character that engaged the viewers for many weeks and his exit from the story saddened the viewers even though he was a criminal. Apart from being a Don who murdered his own wife to punish her for her disloyalty, Behroze was also a person with some interesting perspectives towards life and about people in general. His dialogues were penned down brilliantly. Noman Ijaz’s performance definitely made all the difference. Even though this character did not get the ideal ending, it will remain unforgettable since it had such a big impact on the viewers.
Nasir’s character was introduced a few weeks after the drama Aakhir Kab Tak went on air and it is the kind of character that gradually grows on you. However, even with all his flaws this character always had this unusual appeal to it. Even though he was introduced as a police officer with twisted moral values, in the beginning, it was always amusing and pleasing. Like all the other characters on this list, this one too changed considerably and this character’s growth only added to its appeal. He is another one of those men in Pakistani dramas this year who have great respect for women. Nasir’s dialogues have been penned down so well which is why he comes across as someone who can ‘fix’ other people’s problems immediately. A caring and loving character with a sense of humor, Nasir had us rooting for him right from the get-go. Adeel Hussein’s fantastic performance adds to Nasir’s charm.
Saim (Aakhir Kab Tak)
Aakhir Kab Tak is perhaps the only Pakistani drama right now which has such strong characters that so many of these characters made it to our list this year for different reasons. Saim can easily be termed as a breath of fresh air since he does not just respect women but also goes out of his way to accommodate his wife. He is sensible, intelligent, and caring. He is also one of those rare men in Pakistani dramas who understand that making a marriage work is not a woman’s responsibility alone. We like him more with every passing episode and hope that this character continues to impress.
Akram from Pehli Si Mohabbat was one of those many characters from Pakistani dramas this year which underwent massive transformations as the story moved forward. He was introduced as a rigid character with a certain set of principles which impacted his sister’s life and later on his brother’s as well. However, as the story progressed, the viewers got to see a loving and protective side of this character. That is when we found out that all this time he was simply ‘protecting’ his siblings like a father figure. The fact that he realized the damage this overprotective nature of his did in the middle of the drama, made the changes in his character endearing and easy to relate to. Akram’s character towards the end stood out more than that of Aslam’s. HSY chose a wholesome character to make his television acting debut which makes us truly happy. He gave a solid performance which made it easier for the viewers to connect to his character.
Moosa was one of the many most unusual leading men in Pakistani dramas this year penned down by the ace writer Hashim Nadeem. He was a flawed character but his definite appeal made him the top candidate for this list. The character had been penned down convincingly throughout. The writer showed the uncultured, emotional, impulsive, and rigid side of Moosa in the first few episodes. Once he fell in love and found out the truth about Zohra his character development started. Gradually, Moosa learned so much which he never thought he would have to learn, ever! As the drama progressed Moosa’s gradual and convincing changes in Moosa’s personality piqued the interest of the viewers. Throughout, his journey was the most engaging element of the drama. This character had the viewers’ undivided attention because Moosa’s strengths and weaknesses had been penned down beautifully by the writer. The fact that Imran Ashraf has owned this character throughout and never hesitated to translate different shades of Moosa’s personality on screen certainly made all the difference. The success Raqs-e-Bismil rested largely on this character.
It seldom happens that a character from the older generation grabs the attention of the viewers the way Jalal did. Jalal was the head of the family in Aulaad who was constantly tested by his sons. He was a father who dedicated his entire life to educate his sons and make them independent, yet when it was time for them to help him out financially they refused to take responsibility. Jalal made some grave mistakes throughout to hold his family together and as a result ended up losing his house and daughter. Through this character, the writer intelligently showed that parents should not depend on their children wholly. His mistakes served as a lesson for all the parents out there. It is rarely ever that the premise of the entire story in Pakistani dramas rests on an older protagonist therefore Aulaad’s main protagonist was one-of-a-kind. Muhammad Ahmed is a phenomenal actor who always adds intensity to all the characters he plays. His performance coupled with how beautifully this character had been penned down made this character one of the best this season.
Adnan was one of the three sons in the drama serial Aulaad who disappointed his parents and even hurt them repeatedly. Among these 3 young men, Adnan always stood out because of the way this character had been penned down. Even though his character was not likable, we truly appreciate how meaningful it was and the way it was translated on screen. Adnan had a weak personality which is why he was easily convinced by his wife who kept on telling him to be more ‘selfish’. There was a good side to him but he did not care about his parents enough to put his foot down. This character showed how important it was for men to maintain a balance in relationships. Although Adnan was a sensible and intelligent man, he failed to keep this balance and therefore failed his parents. This character also had one of the best endings which made the entire journey even more wholesome. Furqan Qureshi made sure that this character came alive on screen in a way that the viewers did not have a problem connecting to it.
Drama serial Dil Na Umeed Tu Nahin had so many interesting and meaningful characters. Naeem Sherwani was one such negative character. He was one of those few negative characters this year who made it to this list. Through this character, the writer intelligently highlighted the hypocrisy of our society. His sick mentality and his need to control women, unfortunately, represented the mentality of so many such men who blame women and want them to cover up because they are actually the ones with a dirty mind! He also had a ‘fan following’ because a lot of people agreed with his agenda and then there are others such as Qazi sahib who did not necessarily agree but went along with everything simply to be part of the ‘group’. Kashif Mehmood did complete justice to this character which made it one of the most impactful negative characters in 2021.
Wafa Be Mol is a popular hit drama serial that has more than its fair share of conventional and run-of-the-mill characters but it also has a few characters which are impressive and refreshing. Shaheer is one such character in the drama who can easily be termed as a feminist. It is always truly refreshing when writers pen down such male characters which break stereotypes. Shaheer is someone who respects women, he is intelligent and can even cook! The way he supported his bhabhi against all odds yet kept on loving his father unconditionally made him a character that was full of love and warmth. Apart from everything else, his sensitive nature makes him the best! Even though this character has so much going for it, it never comes across as illogical or too-good-to-be-true. We definitely need to see more such male characters in our dramas.
In Pakistani dramas, where men are known to be cold, indifferent, and flawed, Meerab’s character was the complete opposite and a breath of fresh air. He was emotional, sensitive, and very much in touch with his feelings. The best part about Meerab was him being a people pleaser in a nice way and because he himself was so kind, he saw those traits in others too. Seeing male characters like Meerab is a rarity, where he found it hard to say no. Another trait that set him apart was his mindset of never judging people and being accepting of others’ flaws and shortcomings. Although Meerab himself got into a lot of trouble in the end, he did save the day and compelled Bakht to fall in love with him for who he was. Meerab was a very special character for sure. It won’t be wrong to say, after Do Bol, Shehnai was definitely a great choice made by Affan Waheed.
Absar was the head of the family in the drama serial Shehnai. He was special and different and although he was the eldest son and was entitled to everyone’s respect, he made sure to earn it every step of the way. He was like a binding force of this family where he understood his position as well as his responsibility towards his entire family. At times Absar felt heartbroken because he could see the changing dynamics but still he always made sure to be the bigger person and not only ignored but forgave those too who never probably had the best interest of him and his daughter Bakht. Another endearing aspect of his character was how he was always a very vigilant father to Bakht. He was close to her and always made sure to let her know that for him, her happiness meant everything. He let Bakht know that he trusted her and gave her enough freedom to confide in him. It was a very special bond that Absar shared with Bakht, making him one of the favorite characters seen in a Pakistani drama this year. Seeing Javed Sheikh playing such a warm and loving character was a treat in itself.
Qifayat was definitely the problematic one, but because of the way this character was written by Radain Shah and performed by Saleem Mairaj, it made it one-of-a-kind. It was actually quite interesting to see his antics where he used his energies in creating one problem after another. Qifayat was well aware of the fact that no one in the family liked him but he continued to push his agendas without even paying heed to what others thought of him. He was one such character who despite being negative and a trouble maker never really got on your nerves. It was actually quite enjoyable to see a character like Qifayat and the best part, he not only realized his mistakes but also redeemed himself by saving Bakht from getting into trouble.
Ali Rehman is one such actor who makes sure to take such characters who have a lot of layers and substance to them. The character of Sami was no different because he was the kind-hearted and compassionate person in the family who valued his relationships even if it meant he had to give up on what he loved the most. Sami was neglected but as he grew older, he realized that even in the background, he has enough responsibility as it is to maintain the balance in the family. He was the one who listened to everyone’s problems and tried to find a solution. Sami would hardly complain about what was bothering him and because he was not so vocal about his issues, he often got ignored. The way Ali Rehman portrayed this character made you feel for him. His dynamic with Anoushay was also a very interesting aspect of his journey which brought nothing but the best in him.
In the drama serial Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay, where everyone around Mehreen finds it hard to trust her, Saffan was the only one person who showed that it was possible to not only understand Mehreen but support her despite everything that was said against her. In this drama, every single character has a lot of layers which makes it hard to have a definitive opinion about them but Saffan happens to be the only character who is straightforward and sorted in his mind. Although, after the recent episode that went on-air, the opinion of the viewers might change about him that still does not take away from the fact that he chose to stand by Mehreen every step of the way. Saffan also showed that in the middle of chaos, it was still very much possible to trust the person you love and just be there when they need your support the most. This is the reason why everyone started rooting for Mehreen and Saffan more than they would for her and Aswad. Haroon Shahid’s performance has also been quite measured in Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay.
In the drama serial, Azmaish Basit’s character stood out the most for his resilience and kindness. Basit’s patience was tested every step of the way, his loyalty and credibility were questioned. His character was assassinated but still, he stood firm on the ground only because he had made a promise and gave his word to his boss, who then became his father-in-law. Basit was not only kind but he was a very wise character who understood that he had to walk on the eggshells to protect the ones he loved and respected. Basit fell in love with Nimra way before his marriage to Shiza but while he was married to her, he never once thought of cheating on her. It was nice to see Basit being a man of his words and so wise that he always wanted to bring peace and harmony to Shiza’s family. It doesn’t come as a surprise why Fahad Sheikh became so popular after Azmaish, he really deserves the appreciation he got after this project.
Although every single character in the drama serial Chupke Chupke was well-written and special, Faazi definitely stood out the most. He was the voice of reason in the chaotic household where every single thing was always blown out of proportion. Faazi was quite restless but after getting married to Meenu, he not only understood his responsibility towards her but brought a lot of changes in himself to accommodate his wife who had certain expectations from him. It is always nice to see such characters who show so much growth. Seeing Faazi becoming easygoing and falling madly in love with Meenu was nothing short of a treat. The best aspect about his personality was how with so much love and affection, he also let Meenu understand the expectations he had from her, where he wanted her to pursue her education and have a goal in life. Osman Khalid Butt did really well in showcasing Faazi’s emotions and journey in Chupke Chupke.
This year, Pakistani dramas were full of supportive and understanding male characters and the one joining the list is Samad from Phaans played by Sami Khan. Samad stood with Zeba every step of the way and he never once cared whether his image was being maligned too. All Samad knew was that he had to be supportive of Zeba and believe in her at that time when almost every single person has turned against her. It was also interesting to see how his journey with Zeba only began where he just wanted to be there for her but later, fell in love with Zeba for all the right reasons. He learned how strong and level-headed she was, which was inspirational and special to him.
Shams was yet another interesting character played by Ali Rehman this year in the drama serial Laapata. Shams was faced with his own demons and it was interesting to see how the one thing that remained constant in his life was his love for Falak. Initially, he used this love for her as a drive to achieve big things by resorting to shortcuts. It cost him a lot of time away from her which was enough for him to understand and realize where he went wrong and how he should use this love for his growth and not for his selfish reasons. Shams’ journey was interesting in the way that he used his love for Falak to become the better version of himself, someone that not only Falak but everyone around him could be proud of. Shams’s chemistry with Falak was another special part of his journey played superbly by Ali Rehman.
Sarmad Sultan Khoosat is not only an ace director but he is a measured performer. The kind of depth and realness Sarmad adds into his performances goes to show how much understanding he has of the camera. He was seen on a TV screen after years as Ahsan in the drama serial Pardes and we are glad that he decided to take this role because no one else could’ve done justice to it the way he did. Ahsan’s character was special because through him, it was emphasized how much compassion, love, respect, and understanding there should be between a husband and a wife. Ahsan was restricted because of his circumstances but he never once let any of this get in the way of his relationship with his wife. He always supported her and even took a stand for her but he knew that there was not much that he could do. The loving relationship between Ahsan and Zubi had made it a memorable one. Ahsan’s character was definitely special and beautifully written and portrayed.
This completes the list of best male characters seen in Pakistani dramas this year. Which one of these is your favorite? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.
