5 Pakistani dramas ft Wahaj Ali
1. Ehd-e-Wafa
Exploring the themes of friendship, love, and ambition, Ehd-e-Wafa has an amazing ensemble cast. While Ahad Raza Mir, Alizeh Shah, Osman Khalid Butt, and Zara Noor Abbas might appear as the lead characters, Wahaj Ali's role as Ahad's journalist friend deserves appreciation. The show centers around four school friends who pursue different goals and aspirations. Their lives change when they survive hardships, challenges, and betrayal.
Speaking of Wahaj, his character is named Shariq. His family consists of his sister, Ghazala, and his widowed mother. He ends up becoming a news anchor at a well-established channel.
2. Ishq Jalebi
Ishq Jalebi is a romantic comedy-drama blending hilarious one-liners with serious situations that resonate with the audience. Released as a Ramazan special, it stars Wahaj Ali and Madiha Imam in the lead roles. Their onscreen chemistry is a major draw for Ishq Jalebi.
Wahaj, as Basim Hussain, plays a young and relatable character. He is a handsome boy who constantly complains about every inconvenience in his life. On the other hand, Madiha, as Bela, is a hardworking and sensible girl. The story takes an exciting turn when the COVID-19 pandemic hits, leading to Basim's family reuniting. This reunion sets the stage for several unexpected events!
3. Dil Na Umeed To Nahi
Directed by the critically acclaimed Kashif Nisar, Dil Na Umeed To Nahi addresses difficult subjects, including child marriages, human trafficking, and prostitution. The show aims to draw the audience's attention to social evils, which are the outcomes of lost humanity. An accomplished cast combined with Mufti’s well-written plot has elevated Dil Na Umeed To Nahi significantly.
The plot revolves around Yumna Zaidi (Allah Rakhi) and Wahaj Ali (Jamshaid). Allah Rakhi is married to a much older man who sells her off to a brothel. Jamshaid, her neighbor, experiences physical violence from his mother and teacher, prompting him to run away, only to get trapped in the vicious circle of human trafficking. Years later, they meet again, and fate intervenes in their lives.
4. Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha
Probably, one of the best dramas starring Wahaj Ali! While the concept of a love triangle might seem outdated, Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha won't leave you bored. Indeed, it is complicated and heart-wrenching, but the actor's onscreen equation with Hania Aamir is a treat. Helmed by Badar Mehmood, the drama follows the story of Saad (Wahaj Ali), who has always been in love with his cousin, Maheer (Hania Aamir).
Saad fails to confess his feelings, and Areeb (Zaviyar Naumaan) enters Maheer's life. Areeb falls in love with her, and the love triangle comes into play. Interestingly, Maheer also starts developing feelings for Areeb, and after unexpected circumstances, their marriage is fixed. But destiny has other plans! On the wedding day, it is Saad who marries Maheer.
5. Tere Bin
There are two factors that make Tere Bin a must-watch drama for Wahaj Ali admirers: a fairytale-like love story and the immense popularity of its male protagonist. Offering a stellar star cast, the show is indeed a tale of love right out of a romantic novel. Due to Yumna Zaidi and Wahaj Ali's chemistry, Tere Bin rapidly gained popularity, even beyond Pakistan's borders.
The story revolves around Murtasim, who hails from an influential feudal family, and Meerab, an ambitious girl aspiring to become a lawyer. Their lifestyles are different, but what binds them is their intolerance of injustice. Murtasim is portrayed as a sensible and mature young man who does not label strong and opinionated women as 'headaches.'
So, what are you waiting for? These dramas are not only popular for their story or Wahaj Ali's performance but the reality showcased in these shows are their true inviting factors. Nevertheless, we've given you a list of shows, so why not start watching now? And who knows, Wahaj might just become one of your top picks!
