Hina Tariq and ‘Naqaab’ Cast Bid Farewell After Final Episode

Time to say goodbye to AC Emaan Saleem.

Hina Tariq and the cast of the hit drama serial Naqaab have bid an emotional farewell to fans following the show’s finale. Tariq, who played the lead role of Assistant Commissioner Emaan Saleem, took to Instagram to thank viewers for their overwhelming support and to share behind-the-scenes moments from the set.

In her post, Hina Tariq expressed gratitude for the love her character received and reflected on the journey of filming Naqaab, which spanned 11 months. She credited the show for giving her a new identity and acknowledged the hard work of her co-stars and production team.

The farewell post included a series of BTS photos and videos featuring fellow cast members Ali Ansari, Humayoun Ashraf, Ghana Ali, and others. Fans responded with an outpouring of praise for Tariq’s performance and the show’s success.

Written by Shafia Khan and directed by Syed Jari Khushnood Naqvi under Humayun Saeed’s Six Sigma Plus and Next Level Entertainment, Naqaab first premiered on February 23, 2025, airing every evening at 7:00 PM.

Initially, the show received a modest response, averaging around two million views per episode. However, as the story progressed and word-of-mouth spread, its viewership doubled, with recent episodes averaging four million views each. The show’s gripping narrative, suspenseful twists, and strong performances—especially by Humayoun Ashraf, Ali Ansari, Ghana Ali, and rising star Hina Tariq—have been widely praised by both critics and audiences.

The story revolves around Taimoor (Humayoun Ashraf), a powerful and controlling businessman, his cousin-turned-wife Sara, and Sara’s brother Bilal (Ali Ansari), who is often overlooked by the family despite his intelligence. The plot thickens with the arrival of Emaan (Hina Tariq), a bold and outspoken young woman from a small town, whose presence exposes long-buried family secrets, sparking betrayals, power struggles, and dramatic twists.

Fans have lauded the chemistry between Bilal and Emaan, the complex character arcs, and the drama’s underlying messages about education, ambition, and resilience. Social media buzz and positive reviews have cemented Naqaab as one of ARY Digital’s most popular and talked-about dramas of 2025
