Debut In Dramas
Danish Taimoor made his television debut in the year 2005 in a series titled Mystery Series that aired on Indus Vison. Many of today’s superstars got their breakthrough Indus Vision and Danish Taimoor is one of them as he started acting at the age of just 22.

The couple got married in the year 2014 and their wedding was widely covered by media and social media. The beautiful events and the love they held for each other was visible throughout the wedding. Ayeza Khan is a superstar herself and the couple is parents to two beautiful kids. The star status they both possess as a couple also pushed forward their careers as their fans love to see them flourish.
Self-Made Status
Being born in privilege is not someone’s fault but with the passage of time, people have started resenting those who get a better chance at starting a career just on the basis of where they were born. Many times such stars slack as they know they will keep getting opportunities and the ones who come through nepotism but still work hard are still scrutinized because they never had to struggle as much as a star who came from outside the industry. Danish Taimoor is one such self-made actor.
Danish has reinvented himself in different phases of his career and he has been able to remain relatable and a star people look forward to. The fact that the star has survived in the industry on his own increases his fan following and audience’s love and respect for him .
Good Looks
Danish Taimoor’s looks also play an important role in the fan following he has. He has the quintessential hero look that our industry demands. His fair complexion combined with the perfectly coiffed here and perfectly trimmed beard is something every producer wants in their hero and Danish Taimoor has that look. He also takes care of his fitness and therefore completes the requirement of a Pakistani drama hero starter pack.
Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta Hai-The Turning Point
In the year 2018, Danish Taimoor starred in Ab Dekh Khuda Kya Karta where he played a negative character Jaan e Alam. Danish was the chocolate boy before this. The drama was a massive hit and drama makers found their angry young man who had the ability to attract the audience with his presence. With Jan e Alam, Danish Taimoor wisely reinvented himself and it proved to be a great idea.
Deewangi-Beginning Of A New Era
The very next year, Danish Taimoor signed Deewangi. Sultan Durrani became the biggest hit of his career and Danish showed the world what he is made of. He became the young, suave hero who takes what he likes and with his looks and style managed to get love from the audience. With Deewangi, Danish started a string of similar characters that fell in love with the heroine at first sight and then did everything in their power to get her. He has since done similar characters in dramas like Ishq Hai, Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, Rah e Junoon and now on-air Jaan Nisar and Teri Chhaon Main also have similar traits. The angry young man Danish Taimoor is a big fan favourite and it works every time whether you call it repetitive or non-creative.
The Art Of Wooing
Danish Taimoor knows how to woo the audience. Yes, every time a trailer of his drama comes out, we get to hear the same thing about why he is doing similar roles and why he is not reinventing. The fact is Danish reinvented himself from the chocolate boy into the suave grey-shaded hero-esque figure in 2018-2019 and the formula is a hit for him. Add to that his acting ability as he knows he can act and he has an eye for scripts that will work with the masses. Danish Taimoor is not trying to prove himself anymore with the roles he takes on as he started working two decades ago and he has done that already. The star is wooing fans and successfully does that with each new project whether we like it or not.
A Very Private Person
Danish is a very private person. The star never gives any interviews, however big his projects are. His social media is all about his work and we all know only on the surface level who his family is. He as a person remains disconnected from the audience which allows his fans to take his characters as his reality and connect to the characters even more. This has helped with how his dramas are all hits barring if he kept his life so private intentionally or unintentionally.
The Ultimate King Of Viewership
You can love or hate him but you cannot ignore him. In a time when Humayun Saeed was making his comeback on television with Gentleman and Sajal Aly was shining in Mustafa Afridi and Saife Hassan’s Zard Patton Ka Bunn, the drama that topped the charts with huge margins and viewership is Danish Taimoor’s Jaan Nisar. His other drama Teri Chhaon Main was able to get over 3 million views in its opening episode despite having a new leading lady and zero promotions. Danish is getting critcized for picking up similar love-obsessed and angry characters but he is the king of viewership is a fact that cannot be denied.
In the end, it is establsihed that with many young and old superstars fighting for that top spot, it is Danish Taimoor who has taken over as king of viewership of Pakistani dramas and he smashed records on all the three channels showing that it is him and not any other factor contributing to the massive amount of rating and views.
