It is not unheard of actors to turn into completely different people, just so that they can bring a menacing character to life. As the saying goes, heroes are judged by the quality of villains they face, and this is true for our favorite TV shows.<\/p>\n<p>We often see the same Pakistani actors essay heroes and the usual artists play the bad guy. Yet some incredible Pakistani actors jumped out of their skin to essay a villain that we all love to hate.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to Pakistani dramas, it can be intimidating to play the antagonist, given how attached the audience gets to the characters. There have been incidents of fans going after actors for a character they played.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you hate a character on-screen, chances are that the artist behind them did a fine job.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of our favorite on-screen bad guys who were portrayed by Pakistani actors.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>1. Gohar Rasheed<\/h3>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CCIw7DoHhCc\/<\/p>\n<p>From <strong><em>Digest Writer<\/em><\/strong> to <strong><em>Mann Mayal<\/em><\/strong> this man will make you hate his characters with such conviction, you forget he&#8217;s the good guy from the movie <strong><em>Seedlings<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Even now he has the audience rooting against him in <strong><em>Ishqiya<\/em><\/strong> opposite Feroze Khan and Hania Amir.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Nouman Ejaz<\/h3>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B3RzSkDhUKi\/<\/p>\n<p>This veteran actor has an impressive and versatile portfolio behind him. But he can make you jump out of your skin when he plays a baddie. It&#8217;s probably how Nauman does characterization, making you think that he could be someone you know.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s played a villain every generation. This is evident in his roles from <em><strong>Nijat<\/strong><\/em>, <strong><em>Mera Saein<\/em><\/strong>,<strong><em> Dumpukht<\/em><\/strong>, <em><strong>Rehai<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahi<\/strong><\/em>, and <em><strong>Dar Si Jati Hei Sila.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Bilal Abbas<\/h3>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bts7ooYhGaX\/<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen this actor take on roles that are all over the place on a spectrum. However, he had us baffled when we learnt he was the antagonist in <strong><em>Cheekh<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Who would&#8217;ve thought charming &#8216;<em>Waji<\/em>&#8216; could go to all lengths just to get what he wanted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4.
