Actress Ayeza Khan’s remarkable transformation has received praise from fellow actress Nadia Hussain.
Nadia Hussain appeared as a guest on the Ambreen Fatima YouTube show where she talked Ayeza Khan’s transformation.
The host asked, “If you look at the current entertainment industry, which women do you find impressive enough to say ‘wow’ when you see them?”
Hussain replied, “Ayeza has definitely changed, I mean her entire persona, every aspect has undergone such a tremendous transformation. Everything about her has improved so much, you know, whenever I see her, I’m like, ‘Oh my God’, I feel proud, and it brings me happiness. Earlier, Ayeza was a very shy person, her confidence wasn’t as evident. But now, everything has changed about her.“
“She has this fearless attitude, and her confidence shines through. You can see the spark and fire in her eyes, and you can feel it. You can witness her journey and see who she was and who she has become,” Nadia added.
“What you need to see is how people have transformed themselves. If Ayeza wanted to stay the same, she could have, no one would have stopped her. But looking at her entire journey and seeing what she has become is amazing. I mean, it makes me so happy to see her. She is totally wow,” the Pagal Khaana actress concluded.
Everyone has their favorite actors for different roles. Some want actors who can bring the character to life, while others look for someone who resembles the character.
In an episode of Say It All with Iffar Omar, Nadeem Baig talked about who he thinks would be perfect for acting in a political film.
The host asked, “We are making a film on politics, and we are casting our current and past politicians. Now, who will play Mr. Bhutto?”
Nadeem Baig replied, “He had such an enigmatic personality, I am just thinking, which actor has a personality like Bhutto’s. I think if I was casting, I would like to cast late Mohammad Ali because his personality fits.”
Taking about late Shaheed Benazir Bhutto,
“I would like to cast Mehwish Hayat,” Baig said.
When asked about who he would cast to play Maryam Nawaz, Baig said, “I would go for Hania Aamir.”
The discussion continued with the host asking about Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s role, and Baig selected Bilal Abbas. Talking about Asif Ali Zardari (President of Pakistan), Nadeem Baig said, “I would like to cast Sajid Hassan maybe.”
Lastly, when the host asked about the role of the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shahbaz Sharif, Nadeem said, “Shahbaz Sharif is someone who is very cute and has a fun, childlike vibe. I would probably like to cast someone like Aamir Khan for the role of Shahbaz Sharif because he has that cuteness too.”
Sarah Khan, one of the most talented and versatile actresses on our screens, has a new project coming up with none other than Danish Taimoor.
During a fundraising event in the UK for Palestinian relief, a BBC journalist asked, “Sarah, what did you tell us about your drama with Danish?”
The Raqs –e- Bismil actress replied, “I am working with Ayeza Khan’s husband in a drama, the working title of the drama serial is Shair, the name of the project isn’t decided yet. An interesting detail about the drama is that its OST has been sung by my husband Falak Shabir. I have worked with Danish Taimoor, but it has been a long time since then. Now, I am working with him again after many years. I can’t reveal much about the story.”
“I have read the story of the drama,” Ayeza Khan added.
Sarah Khan has starred in such hit dramas as Wabaal, Namak Haram while Danish Taimoor is currently starring in Jaan Nisar and Teri Chhaon Mein.
In the Pakistani drama industry, celebrity children often get special treatment. Actor Arsalan Naseer, who debuted in the 2021 series ‘Chupke Chupke’, recently talked about his run-in with nepotism.
Naseer took to his Instagram Stories for a candid Q&A session with fans earlier this week. In his honest style, Naseer openly discussed how he, too, has been affected by the widespread issue of nepotism.
A fan eagerly wrote to Arsalan Naseer, “Please work with Ayeza Khan… That too with the main lead and a happy ending.” Sharing this fan’s comment on his Instagram Story, the actor revealed some behind-the-scenes drama.
“I was working with her, but they took an actor’s son instead and kicked me off the project. After a while, Ayeza left as well,” he stated. Naseer highlighted how the industry often favors star kids over talented actors, depriving fans of what could have been a great on-screen partnership.
Pakistani dramas have a huge fanbase at home and abroad, but lately, there’s been debate about the scripts. TV dramas still attract massive viewership, however, the endings can make or break the whole experience. Unfortunately, many recent dramas have left viewers disappointed with their conclusions, tarnishing their otherwise strong narratives.
Here are some popular Pakistani dramas that aired recently but disappointed viewers with unsatisfying endings.
Ishq Murshid
‘Ishq Murshid,’ a hugely successful drama, faced a similar fate with its ending. The storyline, centered around Shibra and Shahmeer, started off promising but ended in confusion. The rushed wedding and the addition of another cultural ceremony felt unnecessary. Shahmeer’s character, portrayed as a killer in the end, lacked development and failed to contribute positively. Meanwhile, Shibra’s naivety, despite knowing she was marrying a politician, seemed unrealistic. The drama, which initially had a strong plot, concluded poorly, leaving viewers puzzled. Despite this, the makers profited from cinema screenings.
Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha
‘Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha’ starred Wahaj Ali from ‘Tere Bin’ and Hania Aamir from ‘Mere Humsafar.’ It aimed to be a love story featuring Kaifi Khalil’s famous song, ‘Kahani Suno.’ However, despite high hopes, the chemistry between the leads never clicked with the audience. The drama ended suddenly, with Hania accepting Wahaj’s love, while Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz found himself in another controversy caused by his cousin, leaving viewers puzzled.
Namak Haaram
The drama promised us a thrilling murder mystery and a tale of revenge, starring the popular duo Imran Ashraf and Sarah Khan. However, what unfolded was disappointing. By the fifth or sixth episode, the plot became predictable, with unnecessary characters hogging too much screen time. In the end, the hero was killed without achieving anything significant. The heroine, on the other hand, fell into a deep depression, living a life in servant quarters and raising her child alone. It was a letdown for the audience, wasting their time and energy.
Mein
‘Mein’ was a highly anticipated drama, boasting a big budget and starring Ayeza Khan and Wahaj Ali. However, the outcome was disappointing. Despite having Ayeza and Wahaj as leads, the focus shifted to Asif Uncle’s character, overshadowing the hero. The ending was unsatisfactory, with no character finding happiness. Wahaj Ali’s character was portrayed as foolish and lacking control over life’s circumstances. It was a letdown for viewers who expected more from the drama.
Tere Bin
‘Tere Bin’ was a huge hit among Pakistani dramas, thanks to the amazing chemistry between Yumna Zaidi and Wahaj Ali. However, the ending left much to be desired. The original story involved Meerab experiencing marital rape and leaving her husband, Murtasim, eventually giving birth to their daughter. However, due to public pressure, the makers changed this plot. Unfortunately, this decision left the story feeling disjointed, with Meerab’s actions seeming illogical. Despite its success, many viewers were unhappy with how the drama ended, feeling that the sensitive issue of marital rape was mishandled.
Pakistani actress Ayeza Khan has been given a special 10-year visa by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) making her part of an exclusive group of celebrities who’ve received the special recognition.
Officials from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) presented the 33-year-old actress with the visa.
Ayeza thanked the Dubai government on Instagram for giving her the facilitation.
In her Instagram post, she said, “The memories I’ve made in Dubai, whether for vacation or work, are like no other experiences I’ve had around the world.”
She added, “Dubai always makes me feel like I belong, like I’m at home whenever I visit.”
“I want to thank the UAE government for giving me another reason to come back to this city often,” the actor concluded.
It’s polling day across Pakistan. People are turning up at polling stations to cast their votes, and celebrities are right in there too.

Ayeza Khan is one of the few rare actresses in the industry who can essay negative and positive roles with equal ease. But what if she acted like one of her negative characters in real life? Khan says that if she acted like them, her family would kick her out of the house.
Ayeza is currently in London with other actors like Fahad Mustafa, Gauhar Khan, and cricketer Shahid Afridi. There’s a video going around on social media where Ayeza is answering questions from fans at an event.
In the video, a fan asked her if she gets angry in real life like her character Mubashira in the show ‘Mein.’ Ayeza replied that if her husband wasn’t an actor, he wouldn’t be able to tell when she’s acting in a drama or being herself. She can’t be like her characters in real life, or she’d be kicked out of her house.
Talking about her role in ‘Mein,’ she revealed that her son was scared when he saw her portraying anger on screen. She clarified that real life is different from TV shows, but as an actress, she tries to make her acting feel real. She may not be an expert, but she gives her best in every role.
In ‘Mein,’ Ayeza Khan plays a married woman who remarries her friend to make her husband happy.
