Ignore this thread.. I made mistake by creating this thread 😳

Not all...but Sanam's recent choices have been confounding. Why is she choosing to play side roles to lesser known actors in shows or films? And its not as if her own roles were path breaking or strong parallel leads or supporting roles. She is an Alister and talented to boot...I am sure she gets good roles. But her method for choosing her roles...I dont get it.

What are u guys talking about ...Sanam saeed has so many good shows

No I disagree.I m not expecting that she will get roles like kashaf always because those kinds of dramas happen once.but neither pre or post zgh she got roles what she deserve..m not saying she should do lead roles only but neither her lead roles nor supporting roles r the ones which we can say after watching that look apart from her no one else could play this role..or we can say that this drama or character will always be our fav..

I think people are getting confused here. Sanam IS getting big projects. The problem is that they're not working and her performances aren't as memorable as people expect them to be especially since Sanam Saeed did a Kashaf/ZGH which will ALWAYS be difficult to beat for a lot of reasons.

Sanam's shows post ZGH -

- Firaaq (huge show with an ensemble cast shot in Florida..Humtv expected this to be big but it flopped).
- Shukk (huge show...one of ARY's highest rated shows last year but the content was arguably not substantial).
Diyar e Dil (huge cast, huge show, big budget..big director, novel adaptation..what more do you need? - the show isn't just working in her favor. Most people don't watch the show for Sanam..but for Maya-Osman/Farah-Wali).
- Ek Kasak Reh Gayi (she did this show with Mikaal but it flopped).
- Kadurat (this was another big show..Sanam did this RIGHT after ZGH. She had good intent when choosing this role but it just didn't work out).

Her upcoming films also seem promising. The problem is that none of her work is standing out as much as people want it to. The benchmark is Kashaf..and like I said, that is something that Sanam will have a hard time beating. Also, I think Sanam's getting typecasted...and she needs to try her best to not let that happen.

And u think ruhi's character is perfect for her??any xyz actress can play that role and I hate it that she choose to play the role..

another drama that she did with meekal,(so ordinary that I forgot the name),firaaq,kadurat didn't even attracted me to watch them..and shukk two women after one man what is so meaty in this role? It may got good trps (even dusri biwi had good trp) but there was nothing extraordinary in this role.I m not saying she is out of sight but what she chooses to play r really frustrating..

I m not bashing her...I love her..who can dislike this actress after watching zgh?!! I m saying that her talent is being wasted..either because she is not good at choosing proper scripts or the producers r not giving her enough opportunity.. That is why she could not reach where mahira is today after humsafar despite being better actress than mahira

IMO Sanam is too experimental and I tends to chose challenging roles, and some of them unfortunately are in fact disappointing and though she does them well, but the dramas themselves turn out to be major let downs.

Also most of her dramas start well like Kadurat and Firaaq but somehow midway they lose the plot literally.

Firaaq is a drama that definitely changed plot mid-way drastically. As the drama progressed there was supposed to be a gradually transformation of Sanam's character Payman and in fact the promos had 3 looks of Sanam and Sanam never went beyond the second look. Also Sanam did mention in an IV that the story was changed midway and guess as an actor she can't do much abt it. But in fact the drama was pretty gripping till midway and Paymaan too was an interesting character, but then they messed it up.

Ek kasak Reh Gayi has totally baffled me and it seems Sanam and the entire team simply sleep walked through that drama.

I really liked Shukk and it was a hit too I suppose and Sanam played the mazloom aurat/ abla naari some what and I mostly liked her character.

Kadurat I suppose she took it up as a challenge and yup the drama was a disappointment, but Sanam as Minah was well liked and I wld rate Minah as one of my fav characters of Sanam.

About her tele-films too I suppose she either takes it up coz of doing something totally different like playing twins and dat too one a guy as in KCNSJ or again playing a vamp in Dil Mera Dhadkan Teri. In Tamanna Ki Tamanna she hardly had any role and again another baffling role she took.

Finally coming to DeD I am have totally mixed reactions abt her role as Ruhi. I sometimes feel it is too much of a risk on her part to play a mother of the female lead and that too negative to the boot. Not only is her character negative, but emotionally soo weak and pathetic and pitiable too and u can't help but hate her. But then this also makes me admire her and it just shows her self-belief and her confidence in herself to take such a hateful character and not be bothered by the image. She knows very well that it will be hated and she too said that she hated Roohi, but there were layers to her character and she took it up.

I have only mentioned her roles post-ZGH.

Also most ppl tend to forget that Sanam has done a lot of theater post ZGH too and her plays have been hits. Both Dhani and Grease were well received and were big hits and apart from these 2 she has done a few more plays too.
