Pamaal is a drama written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah. She is a decorated writer who has given many hits in her career from Sher to Noor Jahan. She has been trending nowadays as people realized that Pamaal is actually based on her real life. She has been through many ups and owns in life and triumphed. She also lost her beloved husband like Malika and she has shared her heart with the world through this play.

Pamaal is a drama that has stirred a lot of debate on social media. Fans have a lot to say about Malika and Raza, the two lead characters who have divided fans with their actions and reactions. Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar have both outdone themselves as leads. Raza is shown as a narcissistic husband whose moods change like the monsoon season.
The writer of Pamaal, Zanjabeel Asim Shah, has spoken about the character of Raza. She said that he is reflecting nearly all the husbands of our society. We all know someone like him around us. She added that the honeymoon period is a magical time but couples do encounter problems after that. Raza’s character is a combo of both good and bad husbands. He is loving but at the same time controlling. She added that in the 90s especially, husbands were like that. They used to be controlling but women of today will never take it.
This is what she shared:
Zanjabeel Asim Shah revealed that she knew people will be divided about Pamaal. She shared that she knew many would think Raza is okay. She said that she knew the younger generation would hate Raza but the older ones will think he is not wrong. She added that she also tried to teach something which her own daughters will not agree with through this drama. She thinks women should have patience which she tried to teach as a lesson. Do not hastily take decisions and try to save your marriage and relationship.
Saba Qamar is one of Pakistan’s most celebrated and versatile actresses, has worked in dramas like Baaghi, Cheekh, Dastaan, Pani Jesa Pyar, Maat, Bunty I Love You, Sangat, Fraud, Sar e Raah and others.

She wrote, “I’m super excited and honestly a bit anxious for you all to finally watch Pamaal. It’s based on a true story, and when I found that out, I took it very seriously. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this character — in every emotion, every shade — and I truly hope you’ll connect with it. All of us, in some way, deal with narcissistic personalities in our lives. This story explores that, and there’s a lesson in it — about what we do wrong and what we shouldn’t. But along with that, it’s packed with emotion, entertainment, and truth.”
Pamaal is a Green Entertainment’s hit prime-time drama serial written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees. It is produced by Tehreem Chaudhary.

Pamaal is a drama airing on Green TV. The show has brought Usman Mukhtar and Saba Qamar together for the first time. Written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees, the drama is showcasing how women are trapped in marriages with Narcissistic husbands. These relationships look normal on the outside but they are completely different from the women stuck in them.
Malika and Raza seem to have an ideal marriage in Pamaal. Raza buys everything for her, cares for her and loves her. But he treats her like a possession and not a partner. He bought a flat for her but she was not allowed to make any choice from flat to furniture. Moreover, the way he reacts when he finds out how she went for grocery shopping without telling him has started a debate.
This is what happened in Pamaal:
Fans are divided and a long debate has started. One side thinks that all men are like this and women should compromise. While the other side sees how Malika is trapped in this marriage and she is being suffocated and controlled. One wrote, “All women should ask their husbands before doing everything as he is the Sarbarah.” Another added, “She cannot even breathe without his permission. This is not love.” One said, “Sad to see how women are defending someone like Raza. They need therapy.” This is the debate:
Pamaal is a drama starring Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar. It started on a strong note and looks like we are indulging into the real plot line by episode 5. The story is basically a narration by the female lead who is reminiscing about her life and sharing what she went through to become what she is today. Saba Qamar as usual is brilliant and Usman Mukhtar has also impressed fans.
Raza and Malika are married in Pamaal and what charmed Malika in the beginning is turning ugly now. She thought Raza was possessive and protective of her but seems like he had narcissism which has started rearing its head. In the the recent episode, Malika and Raza go to her house and she interacts frankly with her cousin Anas. Raza is turned off by it and takes her away and complains about it.
Here is what happened:
Pamaal fans are divided now. One side thinks every husband would behave this way and Malika cannot be this close with her cousin. The other side calls out Raza’s narcissism and thinks he overreacted. A fan wrote, “Any husband will behave this way. Malika is selfish and she should avoid such closeness with her cousin.” Another added, “Marriage to a narcissist is hard. Now Malika will know what she got herself into.” One said, “I have faced such a narcissist. What we think is love in the beginning is possession for them.” Here are the reactions:

So far, Green Entertainment has aired 26 episodes of the drama serial Pamaal. The current episodes highlight the struggles of Malika’s life after Raza’s death. However, the four episodes following Raza’s death have largely focused on repeated flashbacks of Raza and Malika.
Pamaal drama viewers are angry with the production team for ruining the show by stretching it with unnecessary flashbacks. A social media user wrote, “Is it necessary to show so many flashbacks? Most Pakistani dramas do this disgusting thing. They add so many flashbacks to make the remaining episodes longer. It’s your weakness. Correct this issue. Don’t turn excellent dramas into rubbish. Another user commented, “It seems that Green Entertainment has been taken over by Geo TV production teams.” Another wrote, “I know this story is about women’s struggle and freedom, but without Raza, this drama is nothing. Please end this show.” One more viewer expressed frustration, saying, “The last four episodes have just been flashbacks. I don’t understand why these people insist on ruining dramas like this. I am so bored. Yet another unnecessary flashback episode. The production is getting lazy and the storyline is falling apart. In short, there is no soul in the story without Raza.” Read the comments:
Pamaal is a drama that has tug at the heartstrings of people. The show has brought forward a story which is very close to reality.

Her friend helps her land a job but a colleague of hers tries to defame her because of her gender. She leaves the job on spot and her boss comes to her place to apologize to her. Pamaal is showing how women have to go through hell on workplace. But Malika’s wisdom is also being questioned now.
This is what happened:
Fans are questioning Malika’s financial decisions. One user wrote, “Why is she living in such a huge house when she is worried about day to day expenses?” Another added, “She needs to sell this house and move to a smaller place.” One said, “You can not leave your job because of one comment. She needs to use her brain now.”
Pamaal is a drama that is being loved for the realism it has brought in a Pakistani marriage on screens. Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar as Malika and Raza are brilliant. Their portrayals are being applauded by everyone. Fans love the show but it has brought a lot of pain to fans as well. They have felt connected to the characters and Raza’s pain and last moments brought back memories of their own loss for many.
Usman Mukhtar has hit it out of the park as Raza. This is probably his career best performance and deserves awards. The way he has played a man with cancer is also impeccable. His portrayal is close to reality. A man who is about to lose his life and he is worried for his daughter and wife. He prays and he confides in his mother-in-law who is like his mother. The way he shares his last thoughts with his wife and he takes his last breath in her lap. This episode of Pamaal was a roller coaster of emotions and left fans in tears.
This is what went down:
Fans are crying their eyes out as Raza takes his last breath. One user wrote, “This is Usman Mukhtar’s best performance and hats off to his makeup artist as well.” Another added, “Never heard an end of life conversation between a husband and wife with so much sensitivity.” One said, “My eyes are red. I cried so much.” Here is the emotional feedback:
Pamaal is a drama that has captivated the audience with its realistic storyline. Many women have been able to connect to Malika and Raza has made the audience divided. Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar have both been phenomenal. The story closely mirrors the writer Zanjabeel Asim Shah’s own life and fans are heartbroken by the new twist in the tale.
Pamaal showcased Raza’s cancer and Usman Mukhtar has hit it out of the park by how he has brought this character to life. The audience is crying and many were remembering their own pain. The new twist made Raza realize how he boxed Malika in the house and now she has to fight alone. He is now realizing his mistake and teaching Malika everything from finances to driving.
The scenes in Pamaal where he is teaching Malika simple outdoor chores was heartbreaking to watch:
The audience is debating this new twist in Pamaal. Some are remembering how they had to face similar circumstances. Some are in pain watching Raza teach everything to Malika while others are now questioning how he used to be a hardcore man and never let Malika have her own personality. One user wrote, “Not only wives. Train your sisters to do everything too. This world is no place for the weak.” Another added, “I am crying after watching these scenes of Raza and Malika.” One said, “My heart goes out to her. She was never allowed to make any decisions for 10 years and now she has to do everything in a month.” Here is the reaction:
Pamaal is a drama that has gained viewership due to its strong story and script. The outstanding and natural performanes by Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar as Malika and Raza are to die for. They have showcased the realities of many marriages in Pakistan. After a roller coaster relationship, the duo is now going through a huge tragedy as Raza has been diagnosed with last stage liver cancer.
Usman Mukhtar has hit it out of the park in this episode. The show looks beautiful as it is extremely close to reality. Usman as Raza has shown how a man who is going through hell looks like. His eyes, the way he is reacting to losing out on his brother while now he is on the verge of death. Raza is the one who has brought tears to the public’s eyes who has been following Pamaal.
Here is the biggest twist in Pamaal that has shook the audience:
The internet is reacting heavily to the latest twist. One fan wrote, “Usman Mukhtar is such a natural actor. I was crying in this episode.” Another added, “The way he first looked towards Malika when he came to know of his diagnosis.” One said, “Such an emotional episode. Feeling sad for Malika, Raza and Hadia.” Here is the reaction:
Pamaal is a drama that has gripped the audience since it started airing on Green TV. It has shown the reality of majority marriages in Pakistan and how couples go through so many ups and downs while women are sheltered into boxes and they start losing their agency. Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar as Malika and Raza have won hearts through and through. Raza is in jail while Malika is losing herself as she is trying to hold down the fort.
Pamaal showed how even your own family members can betray you once you are in trouble while a woman who is boxed by her husband inside the house cannot fight the world. Malika’s Mamoo and Mumani have come as a saving grace for her family. Her uncle has played the role of her father throughout the show. He did not let her down. Her Mumani also genuinely considers her as her own daughter and they even gave up their pension fund to help Malika.
This is what happened in Pamaal:
Fans are showering love on both Mamoo and Mumani for the love they have shown for Malika. One fan wrote, “Mamoo is getting praises but I would like to praise Mumani who is such a positive character.” Another added, “Mamoo is such an underrated character. His love and loyalty for his sister and niece is commendable.” One said, “Salute to Malika’s Mamoo and Mumani.” Here is the reaction:
Pamaal is a drama written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees. The drama is showcasing control and narcissistic abuse that exists in most Pakistani marriages. Malika and Raza have become a topic of debate amongst the public and even women are confused on whom to support. Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar have done a brilliant job in showcasing such complex characters and reality of many households.
Pamaal is moving forward and we saw how Raza’s control has shifted from Malika to their daughter Hadiya. He treats Malika like his daughter’s nanny and did not take into account her health, postpartum depression and her reservations regarding a second child. Malika’s mother is not supportive either and she is simply suffering alone, both physically and emotionally.
This is what went down:
The internet felt triggered by such realistic scenes and many women remembered their own pain through Malika. One user wrote, “I understand Malika’s pain. When a woman is struggling due to a psychotic husband, the last thing she wants is another pregnancy.” Another woman shared, “This is my story. My mother kept pushing me back to a narcissist and now I am divorced with 6 kids.” One said, “It is tough to handle a toddler and another pregnancy. A great message by the drama.” Here are the reactions:
Pamaal is a Green Entertainment prime-time drama serial written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees. It is produced by Tehreem Chaudhary. The story revolves around a writer named Malika, who has lived a tough life both before and after marriage. Raised without a father, Malika idealizes married life as a fairy tale, but her dreams are shattered after marrying Raza, who fails to meet her expectations.
So far, twelve episodes of Pamaal have aired on Green Entertainment. The recent episodes feature the reunion of Raza and Malika in the hospital after a fight. Upon learning about Raza’s condition, Malika visits him in the hospital and hugs her husband — a moment that Green Entertainment aired uncensored. Watch here:
Social media users are criticizing the boldness of the actors and the channel. A fan wrote, “Someone please get Saba Qamar married.” Another commented, “Shame on the director for showing this much intimacy on screen. They’ve started the same vulgarity as Indian channels or Hollywood.” Many said that soon such dramas will begin showing bedroom romance between husband and wife. One user wrote, “We didn’t expect this from Usman Mukhtar. Saba Qamar has always been this bold.” Another commented, “This scene was too uncomfortable to watch.” A viewer asked, “Can we even watch this drama with family or not?” One wrote, “Thank God my father wasn’t sitting with me because this scene was extremely uncomfortable and too close.” Another said, “Saba Qamar often forgets that she’s acting in a Pakistani drama, not a Bollywood film.”
Pamaal is a drama written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees. The drama has a strong cast featuring Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar in the lead roles. The stars are doing really well and this drama has started a debate in society. The duo playing Malika and Raza on our screens are getting praises for their performances but the characters themselves are getting criticized and they have the audience divided.
Pamaal has now taken a turn when Malika got trapped in a shady neighbour’s friendship and she was accidentally taken to the police station. Raza took Malika back to her mother’s house after picking her up from police and did not support her when she was terrified. Her mother also cursed her out. Salma Asim gave a great performance and she was applauded for her act. Malika’s mammo/uncle is the one person who stood by her and fans are loving it.
This is what went down:
Fans have multiple reactions to the new development in Pamaal. One fan wrote, “Malika’s mother and Malika’s performance gave me goosebumps.” Another added, “Her mamoo is the best character, the way he stood by her.” One said, “Raza is toxic. His wife was expecting and he did not support her. Instead he left her at her mother’s house.” This was the reaction:
Pamaal is a new drama that just started airing on Green TV. The show is written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees. The drama brought Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar together for the very first time. The first episode came out and something new was noticed by the audience.
Pamaal opened with an award show scene. Sarmad Khoosat and Saif e Hassan made special appearances while Saba Qamar was introduced as the writer Malika. What caught the eye of the audience was the award show attendees. The makers of Pamaal have used AI technology to create the award show audience. The idea is unique but it looked jarring as it was unexpected.
Here is the scene:
The internet is reacting to the use of AI in a Pakistani drama. One viewer wrote, “It is great to see dramas using AI technology.” Another was unimpressed and said, “Waddafuq kinda AI was that?” One said, “AI generated audience. But still like it.” This was the reaction:
Pamaal is a drama that has started several debates on social media. It is written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah while the director is Khizer Idrees. The show has Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar as Malika and Raza and their marriage shows the reality of so many emotionally abusive marriages in Pakistan. Fans are divided into Malika and Raza camps and every episode ends with a completely new debate.
Saba Qamar is giving a great performance as Malika in Pamaal. However, a debate started when in a recent episode, Raza loses his cool over Malika and she breaks down into tears. Saba’s face looked distorted and a debate started with many people thinking that the actress has done botox on her face. The “botox crying face” pictures also went viral.
The director of Pamaal has addressed this situation. He said that sometimes the angles and lighting in the scene are not good and actors also ask to change the clips. But in this case, though the lighting was not right, the scene looked very raw and real. Thus they let it go on-air and people started questioning if something was wrong with Saba’s face. The problem actually lied with camera angles.
Pamaal is an upcoming Green Entertainment drama serial written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Khizer Idrees. It is produced by Tehreem Chaudhary under the banner of Multiverse Entertainment Productions. The drama is set to release soon on Green Entertainment, and the channel has already started unveiling the first looks and teasers of the leading pair.

India is our eastern neighboring country, with which we share many similarities (apart from many differences) like language, sports, cuisine, literature. Indian entertainment content including films, music, television programs as well as celebrities are widely popular in Pakistan. Many Pakistani artists have also worked for Indian entertainment industry in past three decades. Few Indian artists have also worked in the Pakistani productions. Sports is another field where many Pakistani players have participated in the domestic competitions of India like Cricket (Indian Premier League), Hockey (Premier Hockey League) and Kabbaddi. Players of both countries are also followed in the other country too. Both counties are considered as an arch rival in all sports be it Hockey or Cricket.
On the political front, both countries share a love-hate relationship due to many bilateral issues yet to be resolved. India is the only country with which Pakistan has fought three wars (1948, 1965 and 1971). Despite tensions in the relations of both countries, there are instances of cross-border union in the form of marriages. In our part of the world many times a marriage is used to strengthen ties between two parties (like two tribes, clans, families). Most of the times any such instance, of cross border marriage has made headlines in the media of both countries and generates great public interest. This article mentions few such instances of cross border marriages or associations.

Hollywood is the Mecca of cinemaholics. For someone who loves movies it can not get bigger than Hollywood; the hub of entertainment and of course money. Anyone who aspires to be an actor one day dreams of becoming a part of this gazillion dollar empire but well not everyone’s lucky or talented enough to make it but some of us do, for some of us Hollywood isn’t a distant dream but a living reality.
This struggle to become a part of the biggest entertainment industry in the world is tough as it is but it becomes even tougher when you come from a country like Pakistan that is a victim of bad publicity to the point that people are conditioned to think of nothing but violence when the name of our country pops up but all good things to those who fight for them and some of us have.
Here’s a revised list of Pakistanis who are making us proud with their work in Hollywood for these superheroes can not be stopped by racism or Islamophobia.
1- Riz Ahmed
No amount of fangirling can do justice to the awesomeness of this man, born to Pakistani British parents Rizwan Ahmed stepped into the world of films with the Michael Winterbottom film The Road to Guantanamo but he got the well deserved break with his role in the 2014 Jake Gyllenhaal starrer Nightcrawler. In 2016, he starred as Bodhi Rook in the first Star Wars Anthology film, Rogue One. That year, he also starred in the HBO miniseries The Night Of as Nasir Khan; the show and his performance were critically lauded. He won the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for The Night Of, becoming the first Muslim and first South Asian to win a lead acting Emmy. Moreover he will be starring along side Tom Hardy in the upcoming Marvel movie ‘Venom’ if this ain’t a dream come true then I don’t know what is.
2- Kumail Nanjiani
Kumail Nanjiani was born in Pakistan but he moved to States when he was 18. He is a stand up comedian, an actor, a writer and a podcast host. Nanjiani is best known for his role in the HBO Emmy award nominated show Silicon Valley. He went big when last year he starred in the semi-autobiographical romantic comedy film The Big Sick, which he wrote with his wife Emily V. Gordon. He got nominated with his wife for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay at the 90th Academy Awards. Nanjiani will be seen next starring along side none other than the unseen-able John Cena.

He worked in the team that won the Academy Award for best visual effects for the 2007 movie The Golden Compass. He is the first Pakistani to have been connected with an Academy Award-winner for Best Visual Effects. His latest recognition came in the form of an Academy Award for his work in ‘Frozen’ that cemented his status as a special effects superstar.
4-Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy
The woman needs no introduction the name speaks for itself. She is known for her work in films that highlight the inequality with women. She is the recipient of two Academy Awards, six Emmy Awards and a Lux Style Award. In 2012, the Government of Pakistan honoured her with the Hilal-i-Imtiaz, the second highest civilian honour of the country, and Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Her most recent work, Look But With Love, released on the Within app, is Pakistan’s first virtual reality documentary series focusing on the people of Pakistan who are striving to change the socio-political landscape of their communities through causes they are passionate about.
5-Faran Haroon Tahir
Faran Haroon Tahir was born in America but raised in Pakistan he is the son of veteran actor Naeem Tahir so his love for performing arts really isn’t surprising, runs in the family. He made his film debut playing Nathoo in the Disney’s 1994 live-action version of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. He is best known for his roles as Raza in Iron Man and Captain Robau in Star Trek. His most recent appearance was in ABC’s hit thriller Scandal.
6-Sameer Asad Gardezi

For his work on Modern Family, he was awarded a Writer’s Guild Award for his excellence in writing. Most recently, he collaborated with Daily Show’s Trevor Noah to create the untitled Trevor Noah project.
7-Strings
Two words “Najaane Kyun” that’s what embodies the capability of this band. In June 2004 Strings released the music video of the title track, “Dhaani” The band were then approached by Columbia TriStar Films of India, a sister company of their record label, to include their next single (“Najane Kyun”) on the soundtrack of the Hindi version of the Hollywood blockbuster Spider-Man 2. That is how Najaane Kyun became the official original sound track of Toby Maguire starrer Spiderman 2. Their latest project was Coke Studio season 10 and boy did we love it!
8-Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
When it comes to listing awesome people of the motherland no list can be completed without mentioning the Maestro. His first public performance as the leader of formerly his father’s Qawwali party was at a studio recording broadcast as part of an annual music festival organised by Radio Pakistan, known as Jashn-e-Baharan. Extending the 600-year old Qawwali tradition of his family, Khan is widely credited with introducing Qawwali music to international audiences. He toured extensively, performing in over 40 countries. He has performed to packed crowds in Paris, Japan, New York, Washington and collaborated with Peter Gabriel, Michael Brooke and Eddie Vedder among others. You can hear some of the Ustaad’s music in several movies such as Dead Man Walking, Natural Born Killers, Any Given Sunday and several others.
We hope that by the end this year a new revised list will be required and the process will go on with new achievements and new names finding their way to the list of people who have made Pakistan proud internationally. This list mostly includes people whose work I have seen myself so any other additions will always be welcomed by me.
