and of course Salman's character isn't OMG like Asher because he's a negative character...Romantic characters create a different hype than that of negative characters..how can you even compare the two. 😆

about popularity: I would like to think as an actor/actress you become popular for the performances you've done..or else your popular for the wrong reasons. With that in mind, I'd like to think Mahira was popular for her portrayal of Khirad. I was talking in that context, you're talking with a different perspective.

I'm probably the minority but I seriously find MDKJZM boring.. Liked it only uptil Arfa got married..
Then at the same time I love Shehr-e-Zaat and I think overlooking Mahirah's acting from the inital few episodes, she's been great and so has everyone else from the show..

I brought in Fawad because you are making it sound like instead of Mahira people are now watching this show for Mikaal/Salman ...which is not the case he has improved but his performance/character is not like he has got Fawad's popularity from Humsafar...where people would actually watch the show for Fawad (playing Asher).

I found that you were exaggerating his performance when in my opinion he has given good performance in SeZ but nothing extra ordinary. He still needs a character which will give him a big break like humsafar/dastaan.

I don't think Mikaal needs a break like Fawad...Mikaal has done well for himself with DeS & SeZ..now he just needs to continue doing well. Every actor can not have a breakthrough like Humsafar or Dastaan. Fahad Mustafa's breakthrough performance, Main Abdul Qadir is miles ahead of any breakthrough performances Mikaal or Fawad can ever dream of, but every actor does not get placed on the map with the same body of work

All I said was that Mikaal's overall performance has been very good from the word go. For me, he has been stealing the show in the last 2 or so episodes..is that the case for everyone? I don't know..but for someone who wasn't even considered a good actor till a few dramas back..is now doing pretty well in his role, is pretty praiseworthy. I don't I think I exaggerated at all..you actually brought in Fawad and started comparing his performances with Mikaal when I never even compared another actor's performances with him. If appreciating Mikaal's own work is exaggeration then that's something new.

I''m talking about characters being compared.. negative characters in their own sense are appreciated..but you can't put them up against a romantic/positive character and ask who's better. Romantic and negative characters can't be compared. I don't see how you can compare Asher & Salman and bring out the OMG factor in both. Compare SRK's character from Darr to that of his character in Kal Ho Na Ho and you'll see a difference.

I would rate SRK's darr higher than all his romantic role 😆...Fahad bit of a tie between Tahir-e-lahooti and MAQH...very rarely people can play both negative/positive characters so well and Fahad's only one of the few .

BTW have you noted this trend of Fawad doing all positive characters and Mikaal all negative characters recently...they both need to try something different 😕

Just saw on Umera's fb that SeZ has 18 episodes 😡...that is ridiculously long which means we have to wait longer for ZGH ...grr i really want to see ZGH.

Hina oops I meant Amina..

SS I don't think Nida said anything wrong bringing in Fawad/Sanam as an example.. In so many of our discussions before we bring in Mahirah or Sanam or other actors as an example to prove our point too..
