Makeup is an essential part of an actor’s job and career. It takes them years of experience, trials and errors to get to the point where they truly understand what looks good on them and what sort of makeup they can and should carry on-screen. Over the years, Pakistani actresses have started relying on very little makeup and they usually go for natural looking makeup, it not only accentuates their natural beauty, but makes their characters look real and relatable.

In the past, actors used to rely on very heavy makeup, which often served as a major distraction for the viewers because they failed to relate to such a made-up character. Then came a time when the actors started understanding the true nature of their job, especially while playing the characters which portrayed the real-life struggles of people. This allowed the actors a shift in their approach towards their characters. In real lives too, celebrities have started wearing very natural looking makeup because it is not only easy to achieve but it is very much in trend to avoid caked up overly glamorous faces in day to day life. This is how they get to look super glamorous during the award functions because the heavy and glamorous looks are saved for the special occasions.

Let’s take a look at the signature makeup looks of top 5 Pakistani actresses:

Ayeza Khan

Ayeza Khan has experimented a lot over the years and has now realized what looks good on her. One of the most important aspects in Ayeza Khan’s signature makeup look is her bronzing and contouring steps. Whenever people hear the word contouring, they are usually reminded of the harsh lines however Ayeza Khan’s makeup is a perfect example of how contouring and bronzing can also look absolutely natural. Ayeza Khan has a structural face, this is why she accentuates it even more using warm shades to bring dimension to her face.

Ayeza Khan usually wears a thin layer of foundation but then the products on top of that very fine layer help her in achieving her signature makeup look. Ayeza Khan also does not skip doing her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are filled lightly using feather stroke technique but they are very much defined and frame her face perfectly. Ayeza does wear blush but goes light handed on it, however one makeup product that she does not hold back on is the highlighter. Ayeza Khan’s entire face makeup is very much based on contouring and highlighting technique, which accentuates the high points of her face and give her a structured look. She usually prefers wearing icicle almost frosty white cool toned highlighters.

She is very much into wearing natural shades of lipsticks on a daily basis but there are some rare occasions when she wears brighter and bolder lipsticks colors like plums, berry pinks and reds and carries them nicely too. Ayeza Khan’s eye makeup is very simple which is usually achieved using cool toned brown eyeshadows that are properly blended – enough to give her eyes some crease and definition. She drags the eyeshades under her eyes, which make her eyes appear bigger. She wears a single coat of mascara and does not make her eyelashes too prominent. Ayeza Khan prefers minimal attention on her eyes, this is why she usually keeps the eye makeup very simple and light. She does not wear a defined eyeliner and usually prefers a blended and diffused liner look which is achieved using pencil liners.

Alizeh Shah

Alizeh Shah was known for wearing a lot of makeup in her dramas but over the time, she has understood what looks better on camera and how much makeup is suitable for the characters that she is playing. Alizeh Shah’s signature makeup is all about the sun-kissed look. She does wear a proper layer of foundation which gives her enough coverage. She then goes heavy handed on bronzer and highlighter, which perfectly bring dimension to her face as well as uplift the high points of her face. Alizeh Shah likes wearing a lot of highlighter and she carries it perfectly as well.

Alizeh naturally has a perfect eyebrow shape, therefore she fills it using brown shades, which give her a defined eyebrows without making them look too harsh. Alizeh always matches the eyebrows with the current hair color of hers, which is the right way to make it work. Alizeh also wears a lot of blush, usually pinkier and peachy toned which gives her a lot more youthful and fresh look. Alizeh defines her eyes using warm eye shadows and usually goes for a more cat eye effect with her crease properly defined and extended. At times she prefers wearing eyeliner but that is a rarity because she wears mascara which gives her eyes enough definition. Alizeh wears a variety of lipstick shades and at times only wears lip tints which give her lips a hint of color.

Sajal Aly

Sajal Aly is one of those few actors who do not mind wearing no makeup when its the demand of the character or certain scene. She usually also does not wear a lot of makeup in the dramas and her signature makeup look is all about enhancing her beautiful features with the help of minimal makeup products. Her signature makeup look can be defined as a natural daytime makeup look.

Sajal wears a decent layer of foundation which gives her face enough coverage and gets the canvas ready for the rest of the makeup products to glide on. Sajal Aly loves a thin eyeliner which defines her eyes. In almost all of her dramas, she always wears a thin eyeliner with a small wing to accentuate the beautiful shape of her eyes. She wears a few coats of mascara to give her eyelashes the volume and length, this step also helps up in opening her eyes up. Sajal’s main focus is always on the eyes, this is why brow definition is also a major part of her signature makeup look. Sajal Aly is very much into pinkier cheeks and lips. She is always seen wearing tints which give her cheeks a hint of color and a similar shade is seen on her lips. Sajal carries pinks really well, this is why most of her lipsticks are pink as well.

Iqra Aziz

Iqra Aziz is very comfortable in her skin, this is why her social media feed is filled with pictures of her wearing absolutely no makeup. As wearing makeup is a part of Iqra Aziz’s job and career, she has come up with a certain look which she carries beautifully and is enough to accentuate her beauty in a number of steps.

On a daily basis, Iqra wears little foundation, she naturally has a clear skin, this is why her face does not require a lot of coverage. She is very particular about the perfectly shaped eyebrows, this is why she makes sure that her eyebrows are properly defined and filled in. Iqra also uses concealer to clean up the edges which add more sharpness to her eyebrows. She keeps on changing the eyebrow shape because she naturally has thin eyebrows so she gets the margin to come up with the desired shape. Iqra loves highlighters, this is why she goes heavy handed on highlighters to get the glowy look that she likes.

Iqra Aziz’s signature makeup look includes properly lined eyes. She defines her eye shape using eyeliners and prefers wearing it in different thicknesses because either way, she carries it really well. She defines her crease with warm brown eyeshadows and does not forget to add different shimmery or matte shades on her eyelids. Another makeup product that is a must in her makeup routine is the cheek and lip tint. She is always seen wearing it in her dramas or in her regular pictures on Instagram, it is enough to give her face a hint of color and adds freshness to her makeup look. Bolder brows, properly layered foundation and rosy lips and cheeks is what Iqra’s signature makeup look is all about.

Sana Javed

Sana Javed has also changed her preferences and now goes for a very minimal makeup look, which is all about the fresh and glowy skin. Sana Javed wears a thin layer of foundation and then adds a lot of highlighter which gives her the glow-from-within look. Her signature makeup is all about glowy and glass-like skin. She does not really wear a lot of bronzer but only brings in dimension to her face with the help of blush which is enough for her. Sana has the kind of complexion where a little makeup can look a lot more, this is why she does not go heavy handed on the makeup.

Defined eyebrows and a touch of color on the eyes is how Sana likes her eye makeup to be. She wears different shimmery and even matte shades on her eyelids and defines her crease using browns. She also wears natural and nude shades of lipsticks, which often match the shades of her blush on. It is a rarity that Sana wears eyeliner and when she does, she makes sure it is a very thin line which does not overpower the rest of her eye makeup look. Sana Javed’s signature makeup look can be defined as a day-time fresh looking glam.

This concludes the list of how these top actresses like to wear their makeup. Which one of these makeup looks do you prefer? Feel free to share your opinion in the comment section below.

Characterization is the most important aspect in story-telling. For any story to work, it is the utmost need of the script to have strong and such kind of characters who do not only do justice to the plot and theme of the drama, as well as have a strong personality. In every single drama, there are good and negative characters because they are the demands of the script and also help the writer in depicting the story in a well-rounded manner. A writer makes any character realistic when they add a lot of layers and personality and not just stick to the black and white approach. This is the why, at times even the negative characters are not disliked by the audience because they are written with a lot more clarity and their reasonings are explained.

There are also such characters who do not serve any purpose whatsoever and end up just being the most annoying fillers in the drama. Such characters do not have anything going for them and anything they say or do has no effect on the story. There is also another category of characters which are hated for all the right reasons and because they have such strong personalities and standing in the story, they depict what it’s like to be around such people in real life. Then the writers also come up with the most exaggerated and over the top personalities which make it very hard for the viewers to connect to them.

In any story or drama, for a character to work, it is very important that they have a solid reasoning to back the way they behave. Clarity is also one of the main elements in writing the characters so that the viewers can understand them better. Pakistani dramas have had quite a few characters that were hated by the audience, sometimes for the genuine reasons, which goes to show that the writers evoked the justified emotion in the audience and then the viewers also hated those characters who did not have anything going for them.

Here are the 10 characters that the audience loved to hate:

Mehwish (Mere Pass Tum Ho)

This character was not only difficult for the audience to digest but also written in such a manner that showed that such people do exist in the society who destroy the lives and do not even worry about the consequences. Mehwish’s character was hated for a lot of reasons and the writer Khalil ur Rehman Qamar exactly wanted the same reaction out of the viewers who watched the drama. This was one such character which sparked a debate amongst the audience where some justified her wrongdoings but the majority of the viewers saw her for who she was; a gold-digger and an adultress who did not mind a live-in relationship because she was getting the perks that came with it.

The writer skillfully showed how such women feel entitled to have things their way and when nothing works, they also feel entitled to forgiveness. Mehwish’s weakest personality trait was that she never once regretted what she did and in fact kept on wondering why it was so hard for her ex-husband Danish to forgive her. She never held herself responsible for the damage that she had done and the few tears she shed were only because she fell flat on her face and did not know what to do. This was one such character which was conceived with a lot of clarity and made people hate her, exactly why it was written for. No wonder why Ayeza Khan felt it was one of the most difficult characters to portray.

Jameel (Aangan)

This was another character which was beyond viewers’ understanding for what he wanted from his life and how selfish he was. Jameel was a poorly conceived and written character who did not have a spine to fend for himself and loved mooching off of others because he knew he was unable to do anything for himself without their support. Jameel was also the one who exploited the blind love that his cousin had for him and kept on giving her the pep talks to get her to finance his education.

It did not take much for Jameel to move on from Chammi to Tehmina whom he had never met and after she passed away, Jameel pounced on Aaliya, pestering her to fall in love with him. Later when things did not work and because he was left with no other option, he ends up with Chammi, who herself comes after surviving a torturous and abusive marriage. Although fans loved seeing Ahad Raza Mir as Jameel, it still did not help them in turning a blind eye to the fact that this character was heavily flawed and really bad.

Ammar (Khaas)

This was one such character which the writer intelligently used to depict what narcissistic husbands put their wives through while carrying a facade of being an ideal husband in front of others. Ammar was a strongly written character which actually did justice to the sensitivity that was attached to it and the scenarios that kept on unfolding due to his antics. Amaar failed to see the fault in him and unfortunately, had a lot of people surrounding him who kept on justifying his wrongdoings for him, feeding his ego and blinding him to his shortcomings. All the things Ammar put Saba through, that too without acknowledging the wrongs he commits were enough for the viewers to hate him.

Ammar’s character is a perfect example of how the writers can use negative character to bring awareness and be the voice for those whose reality is very much similar to what Saba was experiencing. Such characters are hated for the right reasons and it goes to show that negative characters also serve a purpose and are not used by the writers to only grab ratings. This was definitely one of the strongest performances of Ali Rehman’s career till date.

Nimra (Jhooti)

Nimra is a one-dimensional character which has all the wrong things going for her. She is a pathological liar and a kleptomaniac and not only that, she doesn’t mind manipulating her own parents for her selfish reasons. Nimra’s character is not only annoying but highly exaggerated. It seems that the only purpose with which the writer wrote this character and story was to get as much ratings out of it as possible because other than that, the story has nothing new to offer and the continuous dose of negativity is mind-numbing.

It is already predictable that Nimra will end up paying the price for her wrongdoings but what’s the purpose is it going to serve when that is going to happen in the last couple of episodes after a heavy dose of unethical behavior displayed for so many weeks. An over-the-top negative character which is hated because of poor writing and poorer characteristics. After Ranjha Ranjha Kardi, the fans of Iqra Aziz did not expect or even wanted to see her in a drama like Jhooti.

Zeeshan (Kahin Deep Jalay)

One of the most resented characters from the recent Pakistani dramas is Zeeshan. The writer used this character to show the insecurities and complexes of a weak man, but he ended up looking like a coward who could not man up to own his mistakes and decided to observe chup ka roza. In the entire second half of the drama, Zeeshan probably had a couple of dialogues per episode and the rest of the time, he was seen hovering around the city in black salwar kameez, trying to show he was so upset with life.

For starters, he had an issue with his wife being loved by her family, then had a problem with her wealthy background. Although Rida did everything to make him happy, he found it very easy to accuse her of infidelity and when she proved that she was not guilty of such a heinous act, he wanted her to forgive him just like that. This is the reason viewers loathed the character of Zeeshan and did not also appreciate the way it was portrayed by Imran Ashraf because they could see the residues of Bhola in his performance, which people think he should snap out of ASAP.

Shaheena (Mera Dil Mera Dushman)

There are negative characters, then there are super negative characters, then there are those who put negativity to shame and then come the likes of Shaheena who take negativity to such a level that even negativity feel shy of being this negative. Negative characters are never a problem for the viewers to absorb and handle but then characters like Shaheena who suffer from verbal diarrhea are impossible to handle. It won’t be wrong to say that all the scenes of this character are depressing and unbearable to watch. Negative characters do look realistic when they have a few other shades but in this case, the only shade she has is the shade of negative.

The fate of this character is so predictable that it shows she has been used by the writer to grab the ratings. She is pregnant at the moment and even let her mother in law suffer and die, when she could’ve been taken to the hospital by her sister in law Maira. Shaheena will obviously end up losing her child, her husband and the roof over her head, anything new? No!

Munazzah (Thora Sa Haq)

She was a master manipulator who only wanted to own things that never belonged to her. Munazzah was a weak character but more than that, she was a mother no one wishes to have. In order to please the people around, she kept on treating her son as an after-thought. The happiness of Zamin was never her priority and she kept on committing all the wrongdoings because she wanted to stay in the home that was owned by Rabia.

In the end, after the dust settled, Munazzah could’ve easily stayed with Rabia to look after her because no matter what, Rabia allowed her to stay in her home for decades but Munazzah turned a blind eye and immediately remembered her son was now settled and had his own place. Munazzah always came up with evil plans but let Rabia pull the trigger and take the front seat, this way she kept on fooling everyone to believe how nice she was but the viewers were intelligent enough to see through her snakey-ness.

Taimoor (Balaa)

All his life, he was raised by a loving mother and all his life, he hated his cousin Nigar because before getting married to her, he was aware of her shortcomings and evil personality traits. Unfortunately, he failed to maintain a balance after his marriage and started doubting his mother’s intentions only because his wife said so. All the mishaps that his family members went through were easily blamed on his wife Nigar and it was completely ignored by the writer that Taimoor had a major role to play in giving Nigar the edge to do so. Right when his mother was at the most vulnerable state, he decided to go abroad for the sake of his job, entrusting his mother’s well-being on his wife whom he clearly knew had a problem with her.

In the end, Taimoor devised a plan to drive Nigar crazy and luckily got away from this mess scot-free. It is unfortunate that the writer gave a clean chit to such an irresponsible son who kept on making one mistake after another. Nigar was the same person because of whom he didn’t mind straining his relationship with his mother, so after her passing, why couldn’t he forgive her and work on mental well-being because no matter what, she was the mother of his child. Not only that, Taimoor was so lucky that he got married to his lady love as well. It was a loathsome character for sure but the fact that Bilal Abbas Khan played it kept the heat from Taimoor away.

Saira (Mai Na Janoo)

A self-proclaimed bechari who couldn’t look past her bechargi because she was so used to the idea of being a bechari. All her life, Saira saw her father being torn between his wives and mother, she felt unloved and lonely but after she got married to her cousin who adored her and more than that, trusted her with all his heart, Saira continued with her sneaky ways because being a bechari that she was, she could not tell her husband that her ex-boyfriend Nihaad was blackmailing her. Saira’s bechargi was so much that she was forced to celebrate her birthday at midnight in a romantic setting arranged by Nihaad.

Her husband Nain kept on reiterating that he loved and trusted her, he wanted her to be free and independent. He kept on fighting everything that came her way, yet she chose to insult and degrade him because of her own stupidity because as per her own twisted logic, she was following Nihaad’s orders only to keep her family safe? Saira’s antics were annoying and far more resentful than what the supposed villain of the drama Nihaad was doing to her. The viewers did not have a hard time hating her character and Sanam Jung’s forced and poor acting was a huge reason too.

Zoya (Kashf)

At this stage where Pakistani drama industry is thriving and doing so well in terms of popularity, the last thing viewers want to see is a younger sister being madly in love with the fiance of her elder sister. Zoya is not only in love with Wajdan but she doesn’t mind holding her feelings back. She continues to make passes at him which are uncomfortable to watch and do not show the relationship of sister and brother-in-law in a good light.

Eventually Zoya will get married to Wajdan but then she will turn his life into a living hell because she will see him still being in love with Kashf. Out of all the people in this world, why did she have to chase after the guy who is already in love with someone, that too her own sister? Sabeena Farooq has given a convincing performance but the character itself is despicable.

This completes the list of the characters the viewers have loved to hate. Which of these characters have you resented? Feel free to share your opinion in the comment section below.

Romance is one such genre which always gets widely popular among the drama viewers. It provides the kind of feel-good entertainment that any drama watcher enjoys tuning to at the end of a long day. Pakistani dramas although portray the realities of life, but the writers always add a fair share of love stories in every single drama. Some dramas do not focus much on the romantic equation shared between the leading characters and make the drama well-rounded, but then the viewers also come across such dramas where the entire focus is on how the relationship develops and the love story progresses.

Pakistani writers always try to come up with brilliant love stories and even if the drama is not purely about it, this aspect of the story stands out more when done well. Love stories are not only difficult to write but also hard to execute because bearing in mind the preferences of the audience is the biggest challenge the drama makers are usually faced with. The love stories which are conveyed decently doing justice to the emotion of love and respect between the characters always tend to become more popular in comparison to such love stories which are over-the-top and cheesy.

Over the years, Pakistani drama viewers and fans have come across a lot of beautiful and memorable love stories. In all these equations, the characters were beautifully written, also the scenarios which brought these characters together were such that made the viewers root for them. Strong-willed characters, fair share of obstacles, unique way of expressing love and strong chemistry – all these factors make the love stories work.

Here are the 10 popular love stories from Pakistani dramas:

Dr. Asfandyar and Dr. Zubia (Yakeen Ka Safar)

The pairing of Dr. Asfandyar and Dr. Zubia shook world of Pakistani drama fans because they were in awe of the beauty with which their love story was shown. Another thing which worked in favor of making it popular was the fresh lead pair of Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly. Their chemistry was subdued but it was enough to make the drama buffs feel warm and fuzzy. It was a slowly developed story which started off on a bitter note but then the emotions of respect and love followed. Dr. Zubia was fighting her own struggles and Dr. Asfandyar was engulfed in his own miseries but they both emerged stronger.

Dr. Zubia dreaded that her past mistakes will continue to haunt her but Dr. Asfandyar proves it to her that he did not believe in judging her from her past. All the scenes of Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly as Asfandyar and Zubia showcased their beautiful chemistry. The fact that their equation was reminiscent of Dr. Ahmer and Dr. Zoya from Dhoop Kinare added another beautiful touch to this story.

Anmol and Mohid (Dil Lagi)

The love story in Dil Lagi was a perfect example of what happens when two head-strong individuals come across one another and how they make their marriage work which supposedly they believe is not meant to last. The love story begins when Mohid gets involved in a one-sided love with Anmol but she has to work through all her misunderstandings to see that Mohid was the one for her. She falls in love with him and she falls hard because right when she accepts her fate, she is also reminded that she needs to cherish it more because life can be unpredictable.

The chemistry of Mehwish Hayat and Humayun Saeed was phenomenal in Dil Lagi and it was their pairing which elevated the level of this drama and made this love story unforgettable. This was a full on dramatic love story which was worth the attention and popularity it garnered. Their witty conversations and one-liners always kept the viewers entertained and made everyone fall in love with Anmol and Mohid.

Haider and Mishi (Besharam)

The pairing of Saba Qamar and Zahid Ahmed turned out to be a treat for the viewers of Besharam. It was a unique love story which showed when two strong individuals choose to stay together and fight what comes their way, their marriage works against all odds.The key point highlighted in the love story of Haider and Mishi was the communication. They always spoke their hearts and minds out and did not have to worry about being misunderstood.

For Pakistani drama viewers to witness a relationship like this was not only a good change but a breath of fresh air because usually the relationships continue to deteriorate due to miscommunication but in Besharam, the writer showed a very different perspective of how healthy relationships are formed and work. In Besharam, it was a treat to witness the love story of such a couple which came from two different worlds but ended up being perfectly compatible with each other.

Qalb e Momin and Momina Sultan (Alif)

Another beautiful love story that the Pakistani drama viewers got to witness in Alif. This is a perfect example of how the main story of the drama was not purely about their love story but it ended up being such an important part of the story that it left an impact and long-lasting impression on the minds of the viewers. Momina and Qalb e Momin did not leave a good impression on each other the first time they met, but when their path crossed again and they gave each other a fair chance, they fell in love.

It was a treat for the viewers to see such a beautiful relationship unfold in front of their eyes which was purely based on utmost respect, honor and pure intent. Momin never imagined seeing himself longing for anyone like he did for Momina. Momina was the first one to experience how Momin had changed completely and she loved him based on his present and not his past. Although the scenes of Momin and Momina were limited, Hamza Ali Abbasi and Sajal Aly’s couple wasn’t just beautiful together, they had a perfect chemistry which made their love story unforgettable. They didn’t choose a happy and definitive ending by deciding to stay together but the moments they shared were enough to make it a beautiful love story.

Faarah and Wali (Diyar e Dil)

The equation their couple shared in Diyar e Dil was simply sweet. Their love story was covered in the second half of the drama because of which it was well received as before them, it was all about the bitter experiences their parents had shared. Although Faarah got married to Wali unexpectedly because her father decided to strengthen the relationships. Faarah despite having the option of backing out does not do it because she decides to give it a chance and later, she finds more than enough reasons to know that she took the right decision by respecting what her father chose for her. Wali was already in love with the idea of being married to Faarah because he valued his relationships and kept them close to his heart, therefore his patience and perseverance made Farah fall in love with him.

In the final stages of the story it was interesting to see how Faarah eagerly wanted to make this marriage work but Wali gives her a cold shoulder just to set her free because he feels guilty for binding her in a relationship in which she is not emotionally invested. The growth of Faarah’s character where she goes from being bitter to completely in love with her father’s family and then her husband was beautiful. Maya Ali and Osman Khalid Butt’s chemistry and pairing was beautiful and nothing short of a treat for their fans.

Saad and Dua (Ehd e Wafa)

Saad and Dua’s love story is going to be remembered for a long long time. Those viewers who have been a fan of Korean drama Descendants of The Sun were in for a treat when they got to see a Pakistani version of that love story recreated in Ehd e Wafa. The man from the army and his lady love being a doctor. The relationship of Saad and Dua was refreshing and also perspective altering for the younger viewers of the drama because it showcased how important it was to have aspirations and goals, apart from getting married before establishing your careers and pursuing your education.

Ehd e Wafa was probably the only drama which showed that the marriage could wait and in the meantime, it was a wise decision to have the families on board. Saad and Dua approached their relationship with practicality and when they both were ready, they got married. Their humorous conversations were the highlight of their relationship and this why, whenever they got emotional, it hit home for the viewers even more. Saad and Dua’s love story was new and one of its kind in Pakistani drama history. Ahad Raza Mir and Alizeh Shah’s pairing was cute too.

Sameer and Gauhar (Ishq Zahe Naseeb)

The relationship of Sameer and Gauhar took everyone by surprise because the viewers of Ishq Zahe Naseeb did not expect that they would find themselves rooting for the couple. Sameer was fighting his inner demons but Gauhar came into his life and showed him that he deserved to be loved because he was completely worthy of it. Sameer found himself opening in front of Gauhar, something which he had never done before. It was purely the selfless love that Gauhar made him experience which laid the foundation of their love story. After the terrifying journey that Sameer lived half of his life, to see him coming out of it purely because of the driving force of Gauhar’s love was wholesome.

Zahid Ahmed and Sonya Hussyn made the love story of Sameer and Gauhar absolutely beautiful. The few times they shared the screen as a married couple and in the finale as a happy married couple waiting to start afresh was perfect. They both looked so good together and their love story although should’ve been more elaborated was a memorable love story to witness.

Gaiti Ara and Badar (Do Bol)

Gaitiara was forced into this relationship and Badar approached her love the wrong way because he felt it was right to be selfish in order to get married to the love of his life. Badar manipulated the situation in his favor and then did everything he could to come out of the guilt because he saw how badly Gaiti suffered. This love story became popular because of how simply and effortlessly it progressed. Gaiti and Badar were two different people but they had one thing in common – the feelings for each other which slowly developed into love because Gaiti saw how much heavy lifting her husband did for her.

Badar also learned to love Gaiti selflessly and that is when Gaiti fell in love with him. Hira Mani and Affan Waheed’s pairing was new and it took everyone by surprise how their chemistry was strong and just perfect. They made a perfect on-screen couple and made people fall in love with the simplest love story of Gaiti and Badar.

Saba and Fakhir (Khaas)

Saba and Fakhir’s relationship was beautiful because it was based on friendship and mutual respect. Fakhir loved Saba before she even knew it but continued to be an ear to her problems, lent her a shoulder to cry on because he genuinely felt she deserved the consoling after being stuck in a toxic relationship. Although Fakhir fell in love with Saba because he saw a striking resemblance between Saba and his mother but as he got to learn her more, he loved her purely for who she was. Saba also had enough reasons to fall in love with Fakhir because he restored her faith in love, marriage and most importantly, the faith and confidence in herself that she was entitled to be what she dreamt of.

The death of Fakhir left the viewers absolutely shocked but the beauty and sweetness of their love story still remains in the hearts of the viewers. Sanam Baloch and Haroon Shahid’s pairing was new but was the perfect pick for showing Saba and Fakhir’s journey full of hardships, struggles and then blissful marriage.

Hammad and Imaan (Khuda aur Mohabbat)

This was another love story which had a tragic ending but was memorable enough for the time it lasted. Hammad fell in love with Imaan hard, her love transformed him into a better version of himself. He experienced life the way he hadn’t before only because he wanted to prove how far he could go in loving Imaan. Hammad did everything he could in his might for Imaan and never once asked for anything in return because he did not want to burden her soul but the intensity and purity of his love was enough for Imaan to resist falling in love with Hammad too.

Although the love story of Hammad and Imaan did not have a happy ending, the love they had for each other was unique and the kind that is not experienced very often. Their few interactions were beautiful and the longing Hammad had for Imaan was tear jerking. Imran Abbas and Saadia Khan were at their finest in Khuda Aur Mohabbat and gave the characters of Hammad and Imaan a beautiful face.
