Pakistani Actors Who Played Negative Characters Perfectly

There are so many Pakistani actors who have shown their versatility over the years. There have been times when they were stereotyped as well. As these actors gained more experience, they had the option of choosing the kind of roles they wanted to play. As a consequence of this, they also chose to play characters that did not fit into the ‘hero’ category. It won’t be wrong to say that playing layered, negative characters is just as important for an actor as is playing other kinds of roles. Sometimes such characters actually make these characters more popular than ever. While people hate the characters they play, they absolutely love the performances.

A negative character should also be written well in order for it to stand out. Good writing is always a contributing factor since giving a proper background, logical reasoning, and story to a negative character is of utmost importance. Some of the dramas these actors decided to be a part of were also educational for different reasons. Therefore, they did not play this negative role just to challenge their acting skills but also because they could see the good that could come out of it. The performances they gave were so outstanding that they will be etched in the minds of the viewers forever.

Here is a list of those exceptional Pakistani actors who played negative characters perfectly.

Syed Jibran

After Syed Jibran played Numair’s character in Chup Raho, it was as if the producers and directors saw a completely different side of him. There are few actors who can do all kinds of characters and Syed Jibran is one of them. After Chup Raho, he was typecast a lot but he made sure that every negative character he played offered some kind of a variation. In between, he also played characters that were not negative. In drama serials such as Chup Raho, Ranjha Ranjha Kardi, Ghairat, and so many others Syed Jibran excelled at playing negative characters. At the same time, he opted to play a different role in Mere Mohsin. Chup Raho was definitely a game-changer for Syed Jibran in terms of playing negative roles.Pakistani Actors Who Played Negative Characters Perfectly

Sanam Chaudhry’s character in Ghar Titli Ka Par was the main attraction in the drama.
