It is very important for actors to keep on experimenting in order for their career graph to grow. It also allows them to challenge themselves as performers because that is what motivates and pushes them to do better. It is a known fact that monotony ends up compromising on the skills and craft of an actor, therefore in order to better themselves, taking up different roles and characters helps them a great deal in polishing their skills.

Pakistani actors are immensely talented, this is the reason they never shy away from taking up different and unique roles because they understand it is important for their growth and experience. This also allows them to grow their fanbase because a good performance is always appreciated and remembered for a long long time. There have been a lot of actors who fell victim to type-casting and failed to challenge themselves but then there are always such actors in Pakistani industry who know how important it is to take different roles and portray different characters because they all are a part of the society and need to be represented. This has allowed Pakistani drama viewers and fans to come across some great characters and performances given by these brilliant actors over the years.

Here is the list of those actors who have taken up variety of roles over the last few years:

Imran Ashraf

Imran Ashraf started his acting career as a supporting actor. It took him a lot of time and hard work to prove his mettle and emerge as a rising star.

Over the last few years, irrespective of his role as a supporting or a main character, Imran Ashraf has done a variety of work – be it with a comic quotient to it or in all of its seriousness. The iconic character of Bhola from Ranjha Ranjha Kardi is imprinted on the minds of Pakistani drama viewers. Then Imran Ashraf is the same actor who has done roles such as Dastageer in Dillagi and Sunny in Lashkara. He has done his fair share of typical serious roles such as Zeeshan in Kahin Deep Jale and Jamal in Jhoot. Imran Ashraf likes to challenge himself and he has proved it.

Yumna Zaidi

Yumna Zaidi is one of those few actresses who believes in quality over quantity. This is the reason she does fewer dramas as compared to other actors per year and makes sure that each one of her projects and characters are different from the previous one that she has done. Yumna Zaidi has impressed people as a carefree Jugnu in drama serial Jugnu. She has also shown another skill set in Ishq Zahe Naseeb as a rape victim with psychological issues in Ishq Zahe Naseeb. A head-strong woman in Inkaar and currently she has been wowing the viewers as Mahjabeen in Pyaar Ke Sadqay. She is also currently seen in Raaz e Ulfat as Mushk, a girl who has no exposure and is an obedient child. Yumna Zaidi is a force to be reckoned with and a character actor who knows how to do justice to every role that she takes to perform.

Neelam Munir

Neelam Munir has been a part of the industry for a long time and has done a lot of roles as a supporting actor. However, it was until her performance in Dil Mom Ka Diya as a main lead when she showed everyone that she was very much capable of carrying the entire drama on her shoulders. The treatment that she gave to the role of Ulfat not only made her look believable but also gave the viewers an edge to disapprove of her antics. Neelam Munir then took a break and did a character completely opposite to that of Ulfat in Kahin Deep Jale as Rida. A very soft-spoken and obedient daughter who wanted to make her marriage work against all odds. Currently Neelam Munir is seen in Bikhray Moti as Aiza who is head-strong and knows how to stand up for herself.

Sonya Hussyn

In the initial years of her acting career, Sonya Hussyn has played a lot of such roles with a fair share of crying and being a victim. However, it was after Aisi Hai Tanhai when the overwhelming response showed Sonya Hussyn that the viewers liked seeing her in different roles. After that, she has become very picky and selective about the kind of work she does and since then she has made very good decisions. She has taken a long gaps in between and has shown that she is very much sorted and knows that she will not settle for characters that are not substantial and impactful. She was praised in Ishq Zahe Naseeb as Gauhar and also made her presence felt in Aangan for the few episodes that she was a part of.

Yasir Nawaz

Yasir Nawaz has made a come back after a long time. He was focusing on direction for all these years until he was convinced by his family especially his wife Nida Yasir to step back into acting once again. Yasir Nawaz played a small role in Chup Raho but after that, he showed up in Khudgarz as Omar; a character that had so much to offer. This made the viewers appreciate his acting even more and then after Dil Mom Ka Diya, Yasir Nawaz has stepped into acting once again. He is also doing a variety of characters and considering the kind of actor he is, he surely knows how to make his presence felt.

Currently he is playing the role of an autistic Abdullah in Pyaar Ke Sadqay and has been impressing the viewers with his portrayal.

Sajal Aly

There was a time when Sajal Aly was cast in similar kinds of roles. She was young and probably didn’t mind playing more or less similar sort of roles but as she grew older and became experienced, she realized she had so much acting in her to show to her fans and drama viewers. This is the reason she too has become one of those actors who do not believe in monotony and love to experiment and challenge themselves, along with playing such characters that are impactful and substantial. Dr. Zubia in Yakeen Ka Safar to Sassi in O Rangreza, then playing the character of boisterous Chammi in Aangan to now Ana in Ye Dil Mera, Sajal Aly has covered an array of characters in her acting career and is still at that stage where she can always surprise her fans with her performances and unique choice of characters.

Zahid Ahmed

Zahid Ahmed also started off as a supporting actor but he slowly and surely worked his way up to become a star that he is now. Zahid Ahmed has worked very hard to be at this stage where the association of his name is enough to sell any drama and make the viewers excited for it because they know, he is going to bring something absolutely new. From the head-strong Haider Bakht in Besharam to Akram/Akku in Visaal and now iconic Sameer/Sameera in Ishq Zahe Naseeb. Zahid Ahmed has shown that he does not only perform because he himself enjoys it but he performs for his audience, the fans that love him and he loves too.

Hira Mani

Hira Mani has played a lot of such roles which have had a fair share of crying because she loves to portray the human emotions however she has also done a variety of roles. Each of Hira Mani’s characters are different from one another. Gaiti of Yakeen Ka Safar to Gaiti of Do Bol and then Zaira in Ghalati as well as Kashf in her latest drama serial Kashf; she surely is a performer and gives it all that she has in terms of acting for her characters to make it shine. She started her acting career as a main lead on a high note playing and doing complete justice to a complex character of Shagufta in Preet Na Kariyo Koi, since then she has played a lot of different roles.

Mawra Hocane

Mawra Hocane took a long break from acting and ever since she has come back, she has done different and variety of roles. Mawra Hocane has had the privilege of always playing the lead roles, therefore it was very important for her to think and assess how she could experiment and challenge herself as an actor. Mawra Hocane played the role of Aaliya in Aangan, then of Sunehri in Dassi and now she is seen as Aanaya in Sabaat, Mawra surely is being selective and is taking only such characters which are completely different and give her the margin to perform.

Sarah Khan

Sarah Khan has been the victim of type casting for a long period of time. It was because Sarah Khan was always offered similar kinds of roles due to how easily she fitted in such characters. However, as hard as it was for Sarah, she did the best to provide her fans with a variety of characters. This is why she did a negative role in Alvida, explored the comedy genre in Mohabbat.pk and now after almost waiting for an year, she bagged a totally different character of Miraal, the kind of role she has never done before. It is good that Sarah Khan is now breaking free from the similar sort of characters and is now doing her best to experiment more.

Danish Taimoor

Danish Taimoor dropped doing dramas for films because he decided he wanted to be purely known as a filmstar and didn’t want to have an association with TV dramas. However, it took him a long time to come back to TV and since then, he has been still very selective about his projects. Although he has a long list of TV dramas that he has done over the years but recently, he is taking up different characters and is doing the best he can to explore more genres. He was appreciated for his work in Mera Rab Waris and can now be seen in two completely different and varied characters in both Deewangi and Meherposh.

The novel CoronaVirus has taken over the entire world. The contagious disease has spread all over the world and after taking over the majority of the countries, it has struck Pakistan. Unfortunately, Covid-19 is at its peak in the country and with the vaccination being a few months away from being invented and widely available around the globe, the nation is suffering. Covid-19 is being taken lightly and despite the country going under lockdown, the disease continues to spread with new cases getting reported every single day.

Coronavirus is contagious and it is independent of age bracket, this is why children, adults and older people, no one is safe from it. As soon as the lockdown was announced in Pakistan in March, 2020, almost all the celebrities started observing social distancing and went into quarantine mode. However, there were a few celebrities who due to work-related commitments had to compromise and could not be in the lockdown for longer periods of time. This is how they ended up contracting the novel coronavirus and all of them are now self-isolating.

These are the Pakistani celebrities who have contracted CoronaVirus:

Shahid Afridi

A week ago, Shahid Afridi took it to twitter to let everyone know that he was not feeling well and after getting tested, his results came out positive. He urged everyone to pray for his health and speedy recovery. Shahid Afridi has been actively involved in charity work and probably ended up contracting it while on his way to work.

Vasay Chauhdry

Renowned TV host and writer Vasay Chaudhry also took to social media to announce that he tested positive for Covid-19. He felt no symptoms and continued to inform that fortunately, his family did not contract the virus. He went into self-isolation and acted responsibly by letting everyone that he came in contact with know about his results so that they could also get themselves checked. A few days later, he reported that he has fully recovered and his results came back negative.

Shahbaz Sharif

Leader of PML-N Shahbaz Sharif is also one of renowned politicians who tested positive for Covid-19. Not a lot of details were shared but his twitter handle is self-explanatory that he is observing self-isolation and encouraging everyone to stay safe after contracting the virus himself.

Bilal Maqsood

Famous singer and composer Bilal Maqsood of Strings also shared the news of him being Covid Positive. While having a Q&A session with his fans on Instagram, he replied to one of his fans that his results were positive whereas the rest of the family was doing perfectly fine.

Faisal Sabzwari

MQM Leader Faisal Sabzwari also informed everyone through twitter that he along with his family had contracted the novel virus and requested everyone for prayers. He reported that his parents and first wife Amber Faisal, along with two daughters tested positive. A few days later his results came out to be positive as well. His second wife and TV anchor Madiha Naqvi and his middle daughter Haya Sabzwari did not contract the virus and were fortunately safe.

Nida Yasir

Nida Yasir took it to her social media to announce that after getting tested for Covid-19, her results came back positive. Nida Yasir has been self-isolating and is interacting with her fans and followers through Instagram. She has said that she contracted the virus from her husband Yasir Nawaz, however she does not have any symptoms. People assumed that because Nida was continuing to do morning shows even during the lockdown and recorded Eid shows beforehand, she must’ve contracted it from someone on the sets but she made it clear that it was not the case. Nida Yasir’s daughter Sila Yasir also tested positive. Fortunately, her sons Fareed and Balaj’s results came out negative so they are also in isolation while the rest of the family recovers from the disease.

Yasir Nawaz

Yasir Nawaz tested out positive and ended up being a carrier for his wife Nida Yasir as well as his daughter Sila Yasir. With Yasir Nawaz currently working on his on-going drama Mera Dil Mera Dushman, it is believed that he was continuing with his work while taking precautions but it still ended up being not enough to prevent the contraction. Yasir Nawaz seems to have mild symptoms but he is also with his family and recovering well. He took it to social media to announce that any rumors related to his health were wrong and that he was recovering just fine.

Naveed Raza

Naveed Raza also tested positive. It is unfortunate that the majority of the cast of Mera Dil Mera Dushman got affected by Coronavirus. The news of Naveed Raza contracting the disease did not make it to social media until Nida Yasir herself confirmed in one of the comments that out of the cast of Mera Dil Mera Dushman, Naveed Raza also got affected.

Noaman Sami

Nida Yasir was the one who confirmed that out of all the people from the team of Mera Dil Mera Dushman that she knew, Noaman Sami also contracted CoronaVirus. Noaman Sami himself did not make any statement about it however him being around a handful of affectees does make it seem that he too must’ve contracted the virus due to its contagious nature.

Alizeh Shah

Alizeh Shah also did not make any statement about contracting coronavirus but with her boyfriend Noman Sami and co-actors of Mera Dil Mera Dushman getting affected, it is highly likely that she too came under contact with the affected people and ended up having CoronaVirus. Alizeh Shah took a little break from the social media and now when she posted, it was mostly about how people take blessings such as health for granted, it was enough to believe that she must’ve had a rough time and is now doing well.

Abrar ul Haq

Abrar ul Haq himself took it to the social media to announce that he took the test for the Coronavirus and they came out positive. Before taking the test he already shared that he was having some symptoms and showcasing himself as a responsible person, he already alerted everyone whom he came in contact with to take precautionary measures. He also said that he is self-isolating but will continue to carry out his charity work through Skype sessions.

Rubina Ashraf

Rubina Ashraf happens to have also contracted coronavirus. The news of her alongside actor director Sakina Samo started circulating on social media. Ever since Rubina Ashraf has not made any statement but Sakina Samo’s recent post being hopeful does confirm the news to be true.

Sakina Samo

Sakina Samo also contracted Coronavirus. However it was unfortunate that in this time of self-isolation, the news of her passing away started circulating and it turned into a nightmare when journalists tried to contact her, while completely ignoring her wish to remain silent during tough times. Sakina Samo posted a picture of her and Rubina Ashraf, being hopeful that this too shall pass.

Maria Memon

Journalist Maria Memon also contracted Coronavirus. She decided to take it to social media and instead of worrying about how she was going to overcome it, she will use this as an opportunity to turn it into a dialogue. She has been keeping everyone updated about what she is feeling and the starter pack that is required to help with the sufferings.

Gharida Farooqi

News Journalist Gharida Farooqi also took it to her twitter to announce that she had developed mild symptoms and upon getting tested, she found out that the results were positive. She bravely stated that there was no shame in contracting the virus. In fact what was important was to self-isolate, report it and treat it rightly.

These are the celebrities who have contracted CoronaVirus recently. We wish speedy recovery for all of them and pray they regain their health swiftly.
