I've just recently started watching PTV shows, so I have no idea...
But, is Iqra not a good actress? I've heard really good things about this show she has done - Suno Chanda.
Okay, I'll try explaining this as far as I have understood...
Why Suno Chanda was a hit? Because it was almost one of the first pakistani Ramzan drama that became a hit. It was a fresh content... Ramzan drama, comedy, family oriented, a beautiful ensemble cast who all acted well, and a beautiful OST. It was an instant hit. Moreover Nadia Afghan and Farhan Saeed's mother-son to and fro was very much appreciated.
They came back with season 2 next year. The show was good, but not as good as season 1.
And after that it became a norm for Ramzan dramas coming one after the other repeating the same formula again and again and again, so much that the idea is a bit stale.
In the meanwhile people saw many more actressess and much more work of Iqra. And over the time what I realised is that, she's not a bad actress, but not the best. She has this tendency to go overboard and scream a lot on screen. Most of the time she feels so extra. And that's precisely why everyone is so apprehensive of her pairing with Ahad, who has worked and made great chemistry with actressess of the level of Sajal Aly and now Dananeer. It feels injustice to Ahad's capabilities.
Not undermining Iqra, we never know, she takes out her best performances here. Wish her all the best.
