Actresses rarely decreases the standard of their characters after playing highly critically acclaimed characters. I remember seeing a clip of tripti dimri on how she sat home for almost two years after doing Laila majnu since she didn't wanted to do a project that's lesser than Laila majnu. She was financially struggling and was a new comer and she still wasn't ready to compromise on the quality of her work. Then she did bulbul which was amazing and she nailed her character. She is so much more talented than jhanvi or ananya but sadly won't get half their opportunities.
Even though i am liking wahaj yumna's chemistry i still stand by my belief that this drama and the character is beneath an actress like yumna with such calibre. It's like Deepika Padukone going back and doing a housefull 2 or race 2 after getting so much success. She literally don't need to unless she wants to make money. Those are the type of roles that can be done by Jacqueline or disha patani. Deepika ks not needed.
While I get your point. I don't agree with you here.
Actor or Actress shouldn't box themselves in one thing. Nothing is beneath them.
Also when people watch Yumna in this show ,they discover her more shows that's how an actor works.
Even Deepika did Pathaan at such stage in her career where she was an eye candy in songs but that helped her reach to more audience which will be here to watch her new solo movie.
Yumna is doing good job balancing every type of show. There is a reason Yumna reached this kind of popularity outside Pakistan and not Sajal.
I get it show is problematic but for most people the hook is chemistry and romance. Sometimes people just want to be entertained
