7 Pakistani Stars Who Should Come Back to Dramas in 2020

We want to see them back on our television screens.

A new year and a new decade has begun and TV fans wish to see some of their favorite Pakistani actors/actresses return to their TV screens in new dramas. The reason behind the success of Pakistan’s entertainment industry is due to television. All of the most popular and successful actors started their careers on dramas and successful serials that were viewed nationwide.

The performances and success of the drama industry not only revived Pakistani cinema but has managed to make an impact across the border as well. With the Pakistani film industry flourishing, some of the most talented actors have shifted their focus from dramas serials to films.

However, fans still would like to see some of these big names return to their roots and put out another captivating performance on television. Here is the wish-list for some of the most popular actors/actresses we wish to see on TV in 2020:

Alishba Yusef

An incredible actress with an acting style that is certainly unique when compared to others, Alishba has been away from the drama industry for many years now. She never pursued acting as a full-time career, though we could see her in a drama after every few years.

Sister to another popular actress, Syra Shehroz, Alishba came into prominence with her role as Zareen in the drama Main Abdul Qadir Hoon, alongside Fahad Mustafa. This time around her hiatus from TV has been far longer than ever as her last known role was in the drama Mere Humnawa. Fans would like nothing better than to see this talented actress make her much anticipated comeback this year.

Aiman Khan

Aiman Khan has been part of quite a few popular dramas right before she got married. Now, she is more focused on her married life as she also had her baby, hence she took a break from the industry. We are all wondering if 2020 would be the year when Aiman makes a comeback.

Aiman Khan is still young therefore if she makes a comeback now, the fans are eagerly waiting for Aiman to announce her comeback on television. The actress did mention that her decision to leave showbiz was not definite, so fingers crossed!

Fahad Mustafa

Although the fans get to see Fahad regularly on television since he started hosting the game show Jeeto Pakistan on one of the leading channels in the country but it has been quite some time since he appeared in a drama role.

Much like other actors, Fahad Mustafa too has shifted his focus to films. His films have done really well and his performances in these films have captivated his audience every time. Fahad has always been a well-rounded actor, which is why his fans would love to see him deliver another versatile performance in a drama again.

Maya Ali

Similar to Fahad, Maya Ali too has moved on to films but wouldn’t it be great if she makes a big comeback in dramas? Most of the viewers miss watching Maya on the small screen.

The Teefa in Trouble actress has a massive fan following and her last major drama Mann Mayal was a huge hit. Maybe 2020 could be the year, we see Maya take up an interesting role for a television drama.

Mehwish Hayat

Mehwish Hayat

Mehwish Hayat is one of those actresses that made a huge mark on the industry. The immensely popular actress has not been seen in dramas since Dillagi. After giving a remarkable performance on the show, Mehwish became a household name and was very much in demand for big box office films.

The actress is always making headlines on social media as well as giving out brilliant performances on the big screen. With the success of dramas like Mere Pass Tum Ho, it wouldn’t be a far-fetched idea to see Mehwish return to the drama industry.

Fawad Khan

Fawad Khan has done it all. He was part of one of the most popular rock bands in the country, and then he branched out to become a successful actor on television. Although he acted in a few dramas, it was enough to get him major roles in Bollywood films.

Once he came back to join the entertainment industry in Pakistan, he did very limited work. He is either seen in commercials or makes guest appearances in films. A majority of his success can be contributed to his role in the highly popular drama Humsafar. The show earned him a huge fan following and it would be nice to see him return to where it all started. A well-written script and an engaging character such as ‘Asher’ would be enough to bring Fawad Khan back to the TV scene. Let’s hope 2020 is the year we see him on TV again.

Mahira Khan

A household name, Mahira is the perfect example of an actress who became a star due to her performances in drama serials. Humsafar was the show that started the revolution and revival of Pakistani cinema. The show had depth and an interesting character for Mahira that made her a household name. For the longest time, Mahira was known as a drama actress but now, there are so many of her fans who watch her movies just to see her perform.

Mahira is undoubtedly a star whose mere name can sell dramas and films. We would love to see Mahira make a comeback in dramas in 2020. Her comeback in dramas will be the perfect gift for her fans who have been longing to see her on the small screen.

Most of the actors in this list got fame from acting in dramas but they prefer films over dramas now. While film is a much bigger medium and it is everyone’s dream to work in films but many people in Pakistan still do not go to cinemas to watch films. For them, the only way to see their favorite actors perform is to watch their dramas. It would be really nice to see these celebrities make a comeback in dramas in 2020.
