Masha Allah . all look more sexier now ! look at Feroze, Hira , FQ , Ayeza and Minal. I was ok with Sarah's figure. I think she looked more beautifull with the extra wieght.

Thanks for sharing, I am proud of each one of them for working so hard to have a certain body, they have worked so hard

Ayesha Omer looks way different now than what she use dot look like few years ago and she looked nice in both , but she has worked really hardtop loose weight and focus on her fitness, in the initial years of Bulbulay, she was chubbier

Even Faysal Qureshi was chubbier before, but from Aap Kay Liye, he has groomed a lot and looks different , he looks very different from 2000's

I always felt that, Zara looks like Drashti Dhami and she does look like her especially after loosing weight and I feel bad for the body shaming Zara went through, this is not nice of people , I am so happy she proved the haters wrong and worked hard to look like how she does now without doing what people told her to
