Replying to question related to Zarnish Khan, “what is the first thing that comes to your mind after hearing Zarnish Khan’s name?” Maira Khan said, “I don’t know her, yes, there is a story behind not knowing her, Hassan, When you don’t know anyone, someone and they put a statement about you on social media and it kind of hurts you as well, because in the end you belong to same fraternity and they are your colleagues (forget about meeting or knowing each other) but still we were colleagues, why to comment on a viral thing of someone, it is not a good thing, okay, I was going viral for a thing but let it be, why to comment on everything”

Bilal Abbas and Durefishan Saleem are the two tremendous Pakistani actors who recently got huge stardom after the success of their super hit drama serial Ishq Murshid which aired on Hum TV in 2024. Both the actors also have a strong social media following. Bilal Abbas Khan has reportedly signed his next project with Hania Aamir while Durefishan Saleem will soon be seen in Geo TV’s upcoming drama Sanwal Yaar Piya alongside Feroze Khan.
Lately, a clip of actress Maira Khan is circulating on the Tiktok in which she revealed that Bilal Abbas Khan and Durefishan Saleem are the new friends/couple of the industry.
When Ayaz Samo asked, ‘What are your thoughts on Bilal Abbas?’, Maira Khan said, ‘I can’t take the name, but I know about his new girlfriend’. Ayaz Samo then said, “Okay, Bilal Abbas Khan and Durefishan Saleem!” Bilal Abbas Khan and Maria Khan have worked together in ARY Digital’s famous drama serial Cheekh in which Maira Khan played Bilal Abbas Khan’s sister in law. Here is the link to the video:
The Pakistani drama industry has seen many ups and downs. The producers have through the years worked hard to keep it afloat. Unfortunately in an attempt to do so, there has been a serious regression in the content being aired on the mainstream channels in particular. These channels dare to air content that isn’t ‘mainstream’ in their opinion every now and then. Most often however these channels make sure that they do not do so in order to ensure ratings and revenues. These producers also insist that stories that slide away from what the viewers want to watch on these channels are rejected and therefore they have to bear the loss.
Many television dramas such as Ranjha Ranjha Kardi, Dar Si Jati Hei Sila, Parizaad, Dil Na Umeed Tu Nahin, Raqeeb Se, Ehd-e-Wafa, Aakhri Station, and many others won the viewers over in the recent past, got the ratings and appreciation even though the stories were not run-of-the-mill. However, the producers and writers still insist that such dramas do not get the attention and ratings which other typical dramas get. Parizaad’s success lately proved otherwise. If a different drama is executed in a fine manner, it does get the ratings as well and also wins over the critics. There is definitely a large group among the audience who want to watch dramas that do not revolve around typical scenarios.
It would be safe to say that making quality dramas requires a lot of hard work, creativity and obviously time and the fact is that most channels have to keep airing dramas all through the year therefore they just cannot invest so much in every single project. The done-to-death formulas do get these channels the required ratings therefore obviously this shortcut serves their purpose better. Many actors and directors have shared their frustrations regarding the issue in interviews and on social media. And when the numbers are there for everyone to see, it is easier for them to blame the viewers for choosing to watch substandard dramas. They fail to acknowledge the fact that there is also a massive viewership for quality content because that does not support their own agendas.
While the public is blamed constantly for leaving the producers with absolutely no choice, there is also constant criticism on social media by the same public about the decline of Pakistani dramas. Such criticism is often brushed under the carpet because there are still plenty of viewers out there who are willing to watch and give ratings to content that is easy to produce and recycle. Unfortunately, this season more than ever, the channels which have given some outstanding dramas in the past have aired dramas that simply do not fit the bill. It is more obvious than ever that these 3 mainstream channels are responsible for the gradual fall of Pakistani dramas since they are the real stakeholders. While we acknowledge and understand that these channels have to earn revenue, we also feel that they have a duty to ensure that the quality of Pakistani dramas does not go further downhill.
Here are some set patterns followed by the leading channels, most of their dramas revolve around these patterns and therefore we hold them responsible for the fall of Pakistani dramas at the moment.
Geo Dramas
Drag Till Everyone Loses Interest
Geo dramas do get the ratings, there is no denying that but when was the last time Geo actually focused its energies on making and promoting quality content. Jo Bichar Gaye aired on Geo, it was a groundbreaking drama serial but by treating it like a second-rate project which did not require promotion or attention by the channel, Geo proved where its priorities lie! The television channel most often relies on star power, great visuals, and marketing strategies and they make sure that these dramas are dragged to a point that even the most loyal viewers stop watching these shows. Many of their dramas were dragged so much after they got the ratings that the only thing the viewers looked forward to was an ending! Geo has not just been recycling script ideas but they even do not put in a lot of effort into designing the posters of their dramas. These posters too have a set pattern! Even if you start watching a drama airing on Geo which you like, there is always this stress at the back of your mind that you will end up regretting it once this drama is stretched like chewing gum.
ARY Dramas
Spreading Toxicity Is The Key
ARY Digital is falling short big time for the longest time now. There have been instances when the channel aired good dramas, as is the case with all the other leading channels. But the fact is that ARY has been banking extensively on giving maximum screen time and attention to toxic characters. Apart from this, ARY takes up serious, sensitive topics and most often ends up using them for commercial purposes. Most of the dramas airing on the channel usually start off at a great pace and the shock value is used to entice the viewers. Unfortunately, this shock value is not used intelligently and is merely used as clickbait. The strategy has been working so well for the channel that recently they roped in a credible writer such as Radain Shah to write a play like Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi. Recently, ARY’s favorite topic seems to be obsessive and stubborn leads that have a very twisted idea of love. From Balaa to Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, ARY Digital definitely takes the cake when it comes to glorifying negativity.
Hum Dramas
Frustrate Viewers Only After Engaging Them!
If we compare the kind of content that airs on ARY and Geo, Hum is definitely the ‘better’ channel but that’s only because the other channels are not doing well enough. The dramas that air on Hum often are different from the ones that air on the other two channels. That is why while shortlisting dramas which dared to be different, Hum’s dramas were in majority. However, it is obvious that in the recent past Hum is also not experimenting the way it was before. Some of their best dramas in the recent past went downhill after a few episodes. Their dramas start off promising they offer something completely brand new and once viewers are sure that they will not go down a familiar road, they tend to disappoint. Many viewers stop watching such dramas when that happens. Viewers who attach high hopes to dramas get frustrated when they start taking a route that is a little too familiar and not in line with the refreshing element of these dramas. Hum’s new dramas unfortunately offer nothing new and bank on family politics and bechari aurat for ratings.
The only reason most of us expect the best from Pakistani drama makers is that we know what they are capable of. Watching the leading channels settle for less just to stay out of trouble or for easier access to ratings has been a massive disappointment. There are still a handful of Pakistani dramas that fit the bill but we feel that currently, the downfall of Pakistani dramas has started yet again. We want to let the channels know that viewers can see what they are up to and expect them to up their game!

Despite the criticism, fans are invested in Main Manto Nahi Hoon’s ending and many are now anxiously making predictions as the drama is going toward an upcoming stressful ending.
So far, 30 episodes have been aired and episode 31 will mark the conclusion of Main Manto Nahi Hoon, which will air tomorrow.
Viewers of Main Manto Nahi Hoon are deeply invested in how the drama will end, and social media is abuzz with predictions and divided opinions. The audience has formed teams — some believe Mehmal will die, while others strongly feel that Mehmal and Manto should end up together. Many fans continue to root for Farhad and Mehmal’s pairing, but a few argue that since Farhad is a murderer, he doesn’t deserve a happy ending. Many viewers predict that Mikaal Hazrat’s character might either kill Farhad or end up marrying Mehmal due to unforeseen circumstances. One fan wrote, “I want Manto and Mehmal to be married,” while another predicted Mehmal’s death, saying, “Mehmal will die.” Another viewer wished, “Now I want Mehmal to kill Farhad and then herself by taking poison, and also kill Madiha… end the story completely, and let Sir Manto die of a heart attack… and let Miss Maria marry Hazrat.” One user requested, “Please, at least this time let Manto be with Mehmal. Khalil didn’t let Danish be with Mehwish before; if it doesn’t happen again, I won’t watch Khalil’s dramas anymore.” Another predicted, “I think Mehmal will marry Hazrat, and that means Miss Maria will marry Manto. My dream of seeing Mehmal and Manto’s wedding is shattered.” Besides this, fans are saying it’s too early to end Main Manto Nahi Hoon because they wanted Surriya’s story to be unveiled and a proper conclusion to Ifrah’s case.
The last episode of Main Manto Nahi Hoon aired last night, marking the finale of the 31-episode-long drama. Written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, directed by Nadeem Baig, and produced by Humayun Saeed, the show received great viewership and strong TRPs throughout its run. It aired on ARY Digital and remained the talk of the town for its powerful script, talented cast, and emotional storyline. After the finale, fans actively discussed the acting, story, and ending of the drama on social media. Sajal Aly’s bridal look was the highlight of the wedding scene, which instantly went viral.
Sajal Aly wore a beautiful traditional bridal outfit in a soft pastel green shade with intricate dull golden embroidery. The dress featured a long, heavily embellished net top with full sleeves and a keyhole neckline, paired with a flared lehenga adorned with detailed dull-gold patterns. The look was completed with a matching dupatta that had a delicately embroidered border, adding an elegant and regal touch to the overall attire. Sajal styled her hair in a neat bun and wore very light jewelry.
The dress is by luxury couture brand Mihha Official, known for its fine, luxurious, and minimalistic bridal outfits. Sajal Aly’s dress is from their January 2024 bridal collection. Here are the beautiful pictures:
The bridal ensemble Sajal Aly wore in the finale of Main Manto Nahi Hoon is approximately priced at PKR 950,000.
Fans have mixed opinions on her bridal look. One wrote, “She looks prettier than models”. Many didn’t like the see-through top of the dress and some were of the view that it was very simple look for a bride:
Hashaam Khan is an emerging Pakistani model and actor who recently gained public attention after appearing in Main Manto Nahi Hoon as Hammad, the son of Benyamin and brother of Farhad. His excellent acting and humble character won the hearts of many. He has also worked in Girhen and Bajjo, which aired on Geo TV.
In the 19th episode of Main Manto Nahi Hoon, Hammad Binyamin, played by Hashaam Khan, was killed by Shamrez, played by Nameer Khan. The death of Hammad left viewers grief-stricken, with many saying that the most decent and humble character of the drama fell victim to Farhad’s evil plans. Hashaam Khan received applause for his convincing performance as Hammad, and fans are mourning his exit from the show.
The Main Manto Nahi Hoon fame actor has bid farewell to his character Hammad and thanked fans for appreciating his performance. He also expressed gratitude to his colleagues from Main Manto Nahi Hoon, including Azaan Sami Khan, Fatima Amjad, Sajal Aly, Saba Hamid, Durab Khalil, Nameer Khan, and director Nadeem Baig. Hashaam further thanked Asad Qureshi of 7th Sky for introducing him to the industry. Read the post he shared:
Fans are expressing their sadness over the unexpected departure of Hammad’s character, with many saying that the death scene of the most humble and kind character was heartless, heartbreaking, and ruthless, and that he could have been saved. Durab Khalil also praised Hashaam’s performance, while many fans said they cried over Hammad’s death. Read Here:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon, written by KRQ and directed by Nadeem Baig has slowly but surely hooked the audience. The characters have started many debates and people have a lot to say about what is being shown in the story. The drama is at a turning point now as Mehmal aka Sajal Aly is engaged while Farhad aka Azaan Sami Khan is still on an evil streak. His girlfriend is still missing and he is now emotionally blackmailing his father to get Mehmal.
Farhad was once again dramatic as he started crying and made his mother ask his father for Mehmal. Babar Ali gave a powerful performance as he tells off his son and says that he will never get Mehmal. She is his enemy’s daughter but she is still respectable. He told his son that he won’t be able to defend him if he tried to do something to Mehmal again. Farhad’s mother in Main Manto Nahi Hoon is as sinister as her son and she is telling his son that Mehmal’s engagement can be broken off.
Here is the strong scene of Babar Ali from Main Manto Nahi Hoon:
Fans are loving Babar Ali’s performance in the show. One user said, “Babar Ali’s character impressed him.” Another added, “Binyamin is scared for his son and at the same time warning him.” One said, “It is the mother’s fault who is supporting her son.” This is what went down:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama that has captivated the audience. The strong performances of the cast members is what has put the show on the map. Every artist is giving their hundred percent and every scene shows how much hard work was put in. With already strong names like Saima Noor, Sajal Aly, Asif Raza Mir and Babar Ali winning hearts, we now have Syed Mohammad Ahmed here to steal the show.
Mohammad Ahmed is playing Ifrah’s father. Ifrah played by Hajrah Yamin was Farhad’s girlfriend. She went missing and her father is going to every place possible to get to know about her whereabouts. A father broken by his daughter’s estrangement and now missing status was beautifully played by the veteran star.
Check out how Mohammad Ahmed made every scene of Main Manto Nahi Hoon emotional and engaging:
Fans are loving Mohammad Ahmed’s entry into the show. One user said,”Adding Mohammad Ahmed was a masterstroke. What an emotional performance.” Another added, “He showed the true emotions of a helpless father.” One said, “Ifrah’s father’s performance left me speechless.” This is what fans think:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama written by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar. It is directed by Nadeem Baig and boasts a huge star cast. KRQ has been under a lot of criticism and scrutiny due to his past controversies. His last drama Sunn Mere Dil was another reason he got hate as the drama was badly written throughout. His current on-air show is also getting criticism.
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is getting criticism for showcasing a possible romance between student and teacher as well as the heavy dialogues which are poured throughout the script. KRQ is known for his poetic dialogues and all the actors are doing justice to his writing. The writer’s fans are defending him now.
KRQ fans think that Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a great story and people are just criticizing as they are haters. One user said, “All these reviewers are allegedly being paid to hate on the drama.” Another said, “These people are used to watching Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi type dramas.” One said, “This is so much better than those 3rd class dramas on-air nowadays.” Here is the reaction:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is the mega budget drama currently on-air on ARY Digital. The drama boasts a very talented cast and fans are loving how strong the performances are. From Saima Noor to Babar Ali and from Sajal Aly to Musadiq Malek, all the actors are giving their best on the show. The first twist is here as Azaan Sami Kahn arrives as Farhad Binyamin and stops Mehmal aka Sajal in a party.
Episode 5 of Main Manto Nahi Hoon had meaningful insights into the story but once again acting powerhouses Saima Noor and Sajal Aly outperformed everyone. They are great as Surraiya and Mehmal. The way Mehmal slaps Farhad and then tells Surraiya about it and how Saima Noor gave a masterclass in expressions as Surraiya was a treat to watch.
This is what went down:
Fans are loving the two stars and how great they are to watch. One user said, “The way Saima changes her expressions after every of Sajal’s lines was awesome.” Another added, “Sajal’s performance is outclass.” One said, “Saima is the real queen. Nadeem Baig should take her in his film.” This is what fans think:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama that just started airing on ARY Digital and it has already hooked the audience. It has a galaxy of stars and each performer is more powerful than the one before. Saima Khan as Surraiya hooked the audience from her very first scene. She is powerful as the matriarch of the Amritsari household and she will extract her revenge by any means possible. Her love for her niece is true and she supports her throughout.
Episode 3 of Main Manto Nahi Hoon brought on some very powerful scenes. Saima Khan, Sajal Aly, Musadeq Malek, Asif Raza Mir, Saba Hameed and Babar Ali all gave their 100% to the dialogues. Check out the most powerful scenes that the audience loved.
Surraiya knew Mehmal heard how she will sacrifice everyone for revenge. She made her realize that she was also like Mehmal once but the world changed her into the ruthless Surraiya that she is today:
Sajal was the star as she is shown leaving for university. She stops midway and hugs her paraplegic brother. The emotions in her eyes shook everyone. Asif Raza Mir’s powerful dialogue delivery also stood out as he says that Amritsari women can never cry:
Saba Hameed’s exchange with Babar Ali was extremely powerful. A new development came into light when we found out that at some point Bin Yamin said yes to marrying Surraiya so bloodshed could be stopped. He was already engaged to Saba Hameed’s character but still said yes to that proposal. The dialogues about a man’s shaking fidelity and a woman’s obsessive loyalty were bangers:
The strong exchange between Miyan Sahab and Surraiya also stood out. Her “Sar e Tasleem Kham” was bigger than any other exchange in the episode:
Surraiya’s subtle dig at patriarchy by referencing hide and seek was another gem in the episode:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama that was highly anticiapted due to its strong cast and Khalil ur Rehman Qamar, Humayun Saeed and Nadeem Baig coming back together. The show gained good views from the very start and everyone has been praised for their performances. Lately, the teacher-sudent romance has soured the initial love the show received but it is still moving forward and this week belonged to Shamraiz.
Shamraiz is probably the only one left in Main Manto Nahi Hoon who is working towards the “dushmani” they had for 70 years. He is now kidnapped by Binyamin who is torturing him. If Amritsaris say yes to a marriage between Farhad and Mehmal, he can be released but he is staying firm and did not beg Binyamin. Nameer Khan did a good job with performing such a strong scene.
Here is how Shamraiz is being tortured:
The fans of Main Manto Nahi Hoon feel for Shamraiz. One fan said, “Nameer is the highlight of these two episodes.” Another added, “He looks good even while being thrashed.” One said, “Outstanding performance.” This has been the overall reaction:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama that started off strong. The show had mystery, murders and intrigue value. The star cast was strong and supreme while the writer and director showed up with solid work. But the drama is derailing the way Khalil ur Rehman Qamar’s two last shows, Sunn Mere Dil and Gentleman derailed. The main plot is all about Manto and Mehmal now and people hate those two characters the most.
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is all about a teacher-student romance now and no one can understand why did they fall in love. They look misfit with Manto looking irrelevant in the overall story while Mehmal being the most desperate woman to ever exist. A very good story in the beginning has now converted into a substandard plot with unnecessary sensationalism.
The latest episode’s scene with Manto asking for Mehmal’s hand was weird:
The internet is appalled by the new developments in Main Manto Nahi Hoon. One fan wrote, “Did Khalil ur Rehman write this while being drunk?” Another added, “The dialogues between Manto and Siraj Amritsari were cringe.” One said, “What kind of wahiyat drama is this?” This is the reaction:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is ARY Digital’s mega-budget drama series, written by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar and directed by Nadeem Baig. The drama is Humayun Saeed and Samina Humayun’s home production, which is receiving an impressive TRP of 12.8, with each episode garnering over 5 million views. The story revolves around two families who have been enemies for 70 years. The drama also features a parallel love track between Manto and Mehmal.
So far, 23 episodes of Main Manto Nahi Hoon have aired on ARY Digital. Fans are loving the storyline, except for the love track that recently developed between Mehmal and Manto after Farhad shot Manto. The hospital scenes between Mehmal and Sir Manto are receiving severe criticism, particularly the part where Mehmal’s touch helped Manto regain consciousness. Fans also didn’t like Manto taking Mehmal’s name after regaining consciousness.
Main Manto Nahi Hoon viewers, particularly Sajal Aly fans are quite upset with Mehmal’s boldness with Sir Zaviyar Manto. Many think that Mehmal’s character should show grace and should keep herself away from her teacher. One fan wrote, “Such an Indian drama scene between Sajal and Humayun Saeed at the hospital” Another wrote, “It doesn’t seem to be a love story rather it looks like a forced love between the two” A fan wrote, “I am Sajal Aly’s fan but I truly hate Mehmal’s character, How can they normalize student teacher relationship “. A Humayun Saeed fan wrote, “I am a big Humayun Saeed fan, but I am loving all the scenes except him”. One said, “Phupo Ji is the mastermind behind this fake Love” Many are trolling the part where Mehmal’s touch gave life to Manto. Read the comments:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is right now one of the most top-trending dramas on Pakistani television. The show has a top-notch cast with some great performances. All the actors are giving their hundred percent and each week a new actor manages to shine. With the latest development, Mikaal Hazrat has lost his father while he knows the fiance he loves with all his heart is not in love with him. He is still a very positive character and he is trying to provide justice for everyone he is around.
Mikaal Hazrat is the new heartthrob as people are in love with him. His positivity amongst a bunch of gangsters and goons is what is attracting viewers. Main Manto Nahi Hoon is moving towards its climax and all the characters are slowly showing their true colours. Mikaal’s selfless love for Mehmal and his concern for Miss Maria is the winner for the audience.
Here is how he was a gentleman through and through:
Fans are in love with Mikaal Hazrat. One fan said, “He is the true gentleman.” Another added, “Mehmal may not love him but we are all in love with him.” One said,”Yes, Mehmal and Manto had chemistry but Hazrat is on another level.” This was the reaction:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama full of twists and turns. The show is about two rival families and their crimes in addition to a meek character of Sir Manto who has a lot of mystery around him. The characters are reaching their zenith while new characters are dying one after the other. Shamraiz accidently killed Hammad while Farahd is still alive. Treaty is not in force anymore and animosity is back again.
Meanwhile Mehmal remains the most annoying character in the show. She is still dragging Hazrat, loving Manto and she is doing illogical stuff. From worrying about Faals for Manto to carrying a gun in university premises, she has done all things wrong. Plus her smoking is unnecessary and she is not understanding how grave the situation has become.
This is what she has been doing:
Fans are not happy with Mehmal’s character and she is getting hate. One fan wrote, “I hate Mehmal’s character.” Another added, “She is carrying a gun in university premises and openly smoking. What lesson is being taught here?” One said, “She is a Tiktoker type. Engaged to one, loving another and may get married to the third.” Here is the reaction:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is the newly started big budget drama on ARY Digital. With Khalil ur Rehman Qamar as the writer and Nadeem Baig as the director, this was meant to be a good one. The drama has brought a unique story and a stellar star cast. The performances of all the big names have been the best till now. The drama is also the television comeback of superstar Sanam Saeed. She has not done any television drama for quite some years and now she is back as Miss Maria, a professor at Mehmal aka Sajal Aly’s university.
Sanam Saeed is a valued addition to the cast of Main Manto Nahi Hoon. She is a no-nonsense and straight-forward character. Her styling is also making her look ethereal. She is bringing the spark that Humayun Saeed’s character Professor Manto needs in his life. From calling out Mehmal in class without caring for consequences to bringing Gajar Ka Halwa for Manto, she is shining through and through.
Check out Sanam Saeed’s strong television comeack in Main Manto Nahi Hoon:
Fans are loving Sanam Saeed’s comeback. One user said, “Miss Maria is such a strong character. The complete opposite to Manto and compliments him.” Another added, “Digging the scenes between Manto and Miss Maria.” One said, “This is what we call a perfect fresh pairing. Sanam Saeed looks amazing in this role.” This is how fans reacted:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama about two rival families and how they have killed over 200 people over a span of 70 years. It showcases the rivalries which people have seen in many areas of Pakistan and the animosity runs from generation to generation. The Amritsari clan clashes with the Binyamin clan in a showdown as Shamraiz Amritsari goes to kill Farhad Binyamin after finding out the truth about his brother-in-law to-be’s father’s murder.
Hammad Binyamin was probably the only character in these two families who had common sense and wanted to stop this senseless bloodshed. He went to save his brother from Shamraiz and got shot in the situation that arose. His death opens the rivalry again in Main Manto Nahi Hoon. Binyamin and his wife are feeling the loss that once Surraiya felt and no one knows what will happen next.
The big show down in Main Manto Nahi Hoon:
Fans of Main Manto Nahi Hoon are shocked by this fast progression. They have a lot to say. Fans loved Babar Ali’s performance but hated Binyamin’s hypocrisy. A fan said, “Binyamin wanted reconciliation when Surraiya’s sons were killed and now he wants revenge?” Another has doubts about Manto, “Manto is probably the son of a gangster and he is the mastermind. Farhad is probably innocent this time.” Others were heartbroken over Hammad’s murder, “Hammad was a pure and sensitive guy. His death brought tears to my eyes.” Here is how shocked fans are:
Main Manto Nahi Hoon is a drama with a stellar cast and great performances. The twists and turns in this show have hooked the audience. Everyone is giving their best but one star who has outshined everyone else is Saima Noor who plays Surraiya. Her screen presence, the style she has when she appears on the screen and the way she is operating everyone is a treat to watch.
The director of Main Manto Nahi Hoon, Nadeem Baig, has previously spoken about how he is a big fan of Saima and he did everything to make her say Yes to this drama. He has given the ultimate tribute to Saima Noor’s film career as he made the public remember the iconic Majajan. Saima Noor performed to Dil Diyan Lagiyan Nu Kon Janda in Main Manto Nahi Hoon and fans were transported back to Majajan times.
Saima Noor still has that grace and poise and she looked phenomenal and graceful:
Fans suddenly remembered the iconic song. Here is the original:
The sequence is gaining a lot of love from Main Manto Nahi Hoon and Saima Noor fans. One fan said, “We have seen many young actresses dance in dramas but Saima Jee nailed it.” Another added, “Her grace reminded me of Majajan which I watched twice.” One said, “Saima Jee looks effortlessly adorable.” This was the reaction:
