Actors Of The Week – The roundup of actors who impressed us with their performances. Mohib Mirza, Hajra Yamin, Komal Meer & more.
1. Samar Jafri as Wali in Parwarish
What an amazing and explosive performance. Every fibre of Wali’s existence seethed with hatred for Jahangir. Samar’s eyes held so much emotion in those scenes. Impressive and captivating!
2. Naumaan Ijaz as Jahangir in Parwarish
The breakdown of Jahangir upon realising the hatred in his son’s eyes was so impactful. He portrayed how, at that moment, a father felt utterly lost and defeated, with no idea how to win his son back.
3. Komal Meer as Zarnab in Goonj
Such a praiseworthy and relatable performance by Komal Meer as she portrays a girl focused on her work, completely unaffected by the noise around her. Her expressions are on point, perfectly communicating how shen continues on despite everything.
4. Gohar Rasheed as Nabeel in Goonj
An impressive performance where just his eyes reveal his sinister nature, even without a single dialogue. The body language, the gaze, the tone—everything works in harmony to ensure we make no mistake about the character’s true intentions.
5. Zara Noor Abbas as Bushra in Ek Jhooti Kahani
An absolute treat to watch Zara as Bushra—it’s a reminder of how talented and superb she is in her craft. Comedy particularly suits her, as she performs fearlessly, with no hesitation, fully embracing the character.
6. Mohib Mirza as Irfan in Ek Jhooti Kahani
A subtle yet great performance that brings a smile to your face. Mohib resists the temptation to exaggerate his character’s expressions, and that subtlety works beautifully.
7. Saima Noor as Suraiya in Main Manto Nahi Hoon
What a poetic performance. Even her eyes, just one look, conveys so much without a single dialogue. That is the magic of Saima Noor.
8. Azaan Sami Khan as Farhad in Main Manto Nahi Hoon
He is scary and unpredictable—and that makes his character so much more compelling to watch. Azaan’s performance is superb, ensuring you catch every layer of Farhad’s personality as the scenes progress. Just when you think you’ve figured him out, he surprises you.
9. Sajal Ali as Mehmal in Main Manto Nahi Hoon
This time, it’s all in the eyes for Sajal. Such a heart-winning performance that reminds you why we have always loved her.
10. Asif Raza Mir as Siraj in Main Manto Nahi Hoon
For someone of his stature and talent, it’s hard to find words that do justice. Every scene, every movement, every line is delivered with such mastery. It is truly a privilege to watch him perform.
11. Hajra Yamin as Ifrah in Main Manto Nahi Hoon
Hajra’s performance as Ifrah—especially in the last scene—was chilling and made you genuinely worried for her. From feeling insulted, to panicked, to terrified; she portrayed each emotion flawlessly.
