Actors Of The Week – The roundup of actors who impressed us with their performances. Hamza Ali Abbasi, Sohai Ali Abro & more. Catch up here.
1. Dananeer Mobeen as Roshi in MSM
Impressing us all, making us cry, and then making us feel proud of Roshi for keeping her self-respect—Dananeer is making sure Roshi not coming slow.
2. Ahad Raza Mir as Talha in MSM
Loving how Ahad is delivering Talha’s character in such a way that we cannot miss the sadness and regret that surround him. The defeat is now settling in his tone and attitude toward life.
3. Saqib Sumeer as Ishtiaq in DWGM
Saqib Sumeer deserves a round of applause for portraying Ishtiaq with such sensitivity that we are growing fond of him and also understand the deep issues underlying his tough and careless exterior.
4. Hamza Sohail as Mujji in DWGM
Hamza’s portrayal of Mujji’s bechargi (helplessness) is worth mentioning. He truly looks like a guy who cannot do anything on his own and is a real bechara.
5. Hira Mani as Shabaab in Dayan
Hira Mani’s depiction of Shadaab is strong and graceful—the first wife who now must make her husband marry someone else to save her home and his love for her.
6. Gull Mehar Bano as Cookie in DWGM
Such a natural performance! Cookie is loud and obnoxious at times, yet she never feels forced or fake. Truly appreciating this new talent.
7. Ali Jan as Anwar in DWGM
Great performance by Ali Jan as Mujji’s friend, Anwar. We love how he never gives up on Mujji and is always there to support him.
8. Yumna Zaidi as Nashwa in Qarz e Jaan
What an emotional and absolutely fantastic performance by Yumna Zaidi! We love her portrayal of Nashwa, who is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for her mother’s.
9. Tazeen Hussain as Bisma in Qarz e Jaan
A mention-worthy performance by Tazeen Hussain, as we see Bisma enduring emotional and mental bullying from Bakhtiyar and her mother-in-law, but then gradually coming to terms with her nikah to Asim.
10. Deepak Perwani as Bakhtiyar in Qarz e Jaan
A huge round of applause for Deepak Perwani for portraying the sheer evilness of Bakhtiyar, whose cruelty knows no limits. His character is both conniving and brutal.
11. Hamza Ali Abbasi as Batish in Faraar
Loving how Hamza effortlessly transitions between different shades of Batish. One moment, he is killing Bali brutally, and the next, he is softly trying to convince Baggi to open the door.
12. Sohai Ali Abro as Baggi in Faraar
From the young Baggi in flashbacks to the tragedy-stricken Baggi of the present, Sohai’s performance in each scene is heart-wrenching and impressive.
13. Momina Iqbal as Feryal in Dastak
The vivacious and selfish Feryal is well portrayed by Momina Iqbal. Unlike many toxic characters, instead of plotting schemes, she directly claims her love for Saif without embarrassment or hesitation, willing to go to any lengths for him.
