the thing is when danish and feroze did those crap dramas, they got double digit TRPs and billions of views. On the other hand, SMD is a flop. Those were also ML-centric dramas where the character DT and FK played was pure fan service (it's like if Wahaj had played Murtasim-like cktr in another drama like tb). So, while those dramas of DT and FK were only a critical failure, smd is critical, commercial and fan service failure. 
Both Danish and Feroze has done such content with less ratings.
1) Teri chain Merin of Danish is fully flop. even last episode has 7M views only and no trends at all like SMD.
2) Khumar of Feroze also fetched similar trp as SMD and also similar views and I would say SMD will surpass that too in future over the time. Also it didn't trend to that level.
3) Even Chand taara of Danish was not hit.
Most of these have been not liked by fans.
Where as Wahaj also this year did Mein which commercially was a hit around 14.9 trp and also 14M views and all. Many YouTubers simply not including it in list and now SMD definitely most of fans like his character Bilal and are happy that at least his character is going good and also performed well. trp is average but as per the YouTube views its a hit, not a superhit and super hits happens rarely 2 in a year and all dramas mostly have different actors. Danishs Jaan e Nisar which fetched so many views and was kind of track to get trp still got mostly around 8 trp and even 7 and only at end got more than 10 which is usual for final episodes.
Somehow if its Wahaj project then it gets more criticized and circulated even if its getting decent views and trends of a hit drama. And Wahaj is a versatile actor he would mostly opt variety. So I get why he would have opted Bilals character, the script and slow pace actually made the dram look bad and even the extensive level of criticism y reviewers for views. But at the backend the makers from this would actually know how wahaj can even bring views to bad script so definitely he would get the offers and again I think everything is luck. Actor is a human based on ones thinking one opts something, sometimes will be lucky and sometimes not. Hope he gets and opts better script next.
