Worst Casting choices in Pakistani dramas right now are from some of the most watched dramas. Dramas are the ultimate guilty pleasure for the Pakistani nation. They are the main entertainment source in the country and everyone watches one or two shows at least across their lifetimes even if they are not avid drama watchers. Every season we get dramas that become hit either for being too good or for having a high dose of masala. Casting is what plays an important role in how much a drama will win the audience and sometimes this is the department that ruins the whole show. Here are a few casting choices in the latest dramas that are not getting a lot of love for various reasons. Check out:
Amar Khan In Dil e Nadan
Amar Khan is playing the very innocent and naive Dur e Nayab in the new drama Dil e Nadan. The show is airing on Geo TV and the character has gotten a lot of hate since the very start. Amar Kha is a good actress and she has proved herself several times but this character is just not made for her. A much younger actress may have looked better as she is shown as a college student. The direction is not doing her any favours either and the scenes are all extremely exaggerated. Amar Khan was probably not the right choice for this role and the actor will probably prove herself again in the upcoming Sun Mere Dil.
Hareem Farooq In Bismil
Hareem Farooq has taken a new character with Masooms who is proving to be a full blown vamp at the moment. Masooma at the core of it all is a gold digger who will do anything to fulfil her dreams. She is playing her character opposite stars like Nauman Ijaz and savera Nadeem. Masooma is supposed to be from a lower middle class background but she is not looking as poor as she should. There are discrepancies in the character and acting which are making Hareem not too suitable as Masooma. The drama however has just started so this character has some margin for improvement left.
Saad Qureshi In Bismil
Saad Qureshi is playing Musa, the son of Savera and Nauman in Bismil. The character is supposed to be this only son of two vey charismatic parents but Saad has not been able to bring that kind of oomph in his performance. This could be due to the presence of two very powerful stars with him but his performance is not up to par with what his character should be.
Momal In Bismil
Another weak casting in Bismil comes with Musa’s fiance Momal as she has not been able to perform well. She is a new artist and may take time to settle on screen. She is also not able to live up to the aura created by her co-stars and looks out of place in an otherwise perfect environment.
Hira Khan In Aik Chubhan Si
Hira Khan plays Maheen in the Hum TV drama Aik Chubhan Si. Hira has been carefully selecting her roles since she started acting and sh has done some great work in a short period of time. She is now playing Maheen in Aik Chubhan Si where her beauty and style will captivate a man in destroying his marriage and the wife of that man is Sonya Hussyn. The styling could have saved this casting if it was better but it is not working out right now.
Natasha In Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is one of the biggest dramas on air right now. Every character is getting a lot of attention and nowadays Natasha is talk of the town. She is Rubab’s friend and Adeel is all set to cheat on his wife with her. Natasah is supposed to be someone on Rubab’s scale and even better but she is just not looking Adeel’s standards. She does not seem as rich as Rubab nor someone a guy like Adeel would replace Rubab with. A bit of a miscast in an otherwise perfect drama.
Haroon Shahid In Jaan Nisar
Haroon Shahid plays thye villain Sarfaraz in blockbuster Jaan Nisar. Haroon Shahid is trying his best and he has brought a vampish streak forward for this character but he looks like a nice person and sometimes there is a disconnect between the character and the actor. On the other hand Hiba Ali Khan really looks negative as she has worked a lot on her overall look and styling.
Laiba Khan In Teri Chhaon Mein
Laiba Khan is a content creator and she made her acting debut opposite Danish Taimoor in Hum TV’s Teri Chhaon Mein. It was a typical Danish Taimoor masala drama that got ratings but Laiba Khan’s performance was not great. This was her first project so it was understandable but she looked a bit uncomfortable on screen throughout.
Sami Khan In Kaffara
Sami Khan is a famous child star who is moving towards adult characters now. He is playing a stupid and evil character Zohaib who is never able to tell right from wrong. The character was meant to look like someone you hate and Sami should have changed his styling a bit to fit more into it. He looks too positive for such a negative character.
Sahiba In Kaffara
Sahiba is Salar’s fiance in Kaffara. She is supposed to be this go getter, independent girl who has everything settled in her life. She went on to fall for Salar played by Ali Ansari and she is now all in for the guy. A girl like that should have self-respect and care for her own life and career rather than following a person who has no interest in her. Moreover, the actress looks neither the independent go getter nor a girl dying to get Salar. She just looks uninterested in all her scenes which is making her casting a bit weird. Someone like Sukaina Khan would have been a far better choice for thsi role.
