I don't hide it .. sorry. I am openly a Yumna fan and no not since TB, since Ullu barae farokht nahin, her first on-air project. It is the truth that no other actor has played as many diverse roles and shown this much range, diversity and variety in her characters than Yumna. If people want they can always mention other actors' projects and compare. This doesn't mean I hate other actors and belittle them but yes for me Yumna is in a league of her own.

Bilal, Sajal are good. Hania not so much to be honest.

So the top tier of our industry according to me is Saba Qamar, Yumna Zaidi and Sajal. And then comes everyone else. I wish Sanam Baloch hadn't ruined her career with her own hands but man what an actor she was.

Azaan is ripped now

Sajal played a strong character as Momina in Alif where she's just speechless and outstanding.. She played Chammi and Sassi in Aangan and Rangreza respectively where her role is little comical, enjoyable, ambitious, self centered and selfish character which she nailed especially as Chammi..... Dr. Zubia in YKS where she potrayed her emotions in a silent tone was noteworthy.... Even in Gul e Rana and ydm, she did well. And She played a vamp in ladoon mein pali... She hasn't done social drama yet but whatever she did, nailed it as a performer.

Not much of a fan of Alif. Once again no transition in the character throughout. Chammi of hers is one of my favourite performances. She was excellent as Chammi and so lovable. She stole the show in Aangan. Dr. Zubia was once again one dimensional. My problem with Zubia once again is no difference in demeanour. In the same show how Ahad changed his demeanour after his brother's death is so remarkable, Sajal's ummm not so much although she also went through significant trauma, in fact she went through the trauma twice. Her mother's death and then attempted assault on her.

Now come to Yumna.

Jugnoo, yeh raha dil, and PKS - Comedic/humourous -

Inkaar- Social Issue with a strong female lead.

Bakhtwar - once again social issue. Totally changed demeanor, voice, tone, getup, man she is amazing.

Dar si jaati hai sila - social issue -- and her performance again uff.

Dil na umeed to nahin - social issue - totally different and her performance and her get up. Wow.. only that car scene where she sings that obscene song is worth whole career of many actresses in Pakistan.

Ishq Zah e Naseeb - Negative... OMG - *muah*.. amazing, great.

Pinjra - Social issue - Bechari yet not bechari and Uff that performance.

Sinf-e-Ahan -- That accent. That performance. Sajal was also in it. But boring and one dimensional.

Parizd - that remarkable change before her eyesight and after, it was apparent that she is now a more self aware person after getting back her eyesight.

Her other performances like Guzarish, Dil Kiya Karay, Zara yaad kar etc. All are top notch.

And btw look at her getup in each and every show and see the difference how it compliments the character she is playing. Do you think Aaliya's get up compliments/represents a girl from a middle class background in Pakistan. She must be spending thousands on maintaining that hair cut and hair color alone.

Have you people actually watched Yumna's work at all?

Let it be every one had favorites and have their biases..but will not admit it here..will.hide it under constructive criticism....All sajal yumna hania wahaj bilal fawad have their strength and weakness..No one is perfect...and No one does Oscar level acting and every actor has their own way to stardom and work....There is never too much or too little work./exposure....and everyone operates according to their comfort level and beliefs

Why? Oscar level acting kai liye aasmaan sai utarna parta hai kia? :) I think there are several actors in Pakistan who are worthy of any award of well repute from anywhere.

is Sanam’s career ruined? I thought she just took a break to have children

She moved to doing morning show and did not do any dramas for long i.e. almost the prime of her career she wasted on doing morning show. Then she did one or two dramas only and since then she has been away. I feel people have almost forgotten her now.

She does not have the same stardom anymore.

Yumna always appreciates her co-stars. She is very cordial and supportive in that way. It doesn't prove anything. I did not talk about subtlety, I talked about plus multiple shades an actor is able to display by just playing one character. Secondly majority of the TV shows are female lead driven, So?. Also, Yumna was appreciated for her acting since the initial episodes. Whenever you would see PKS mentioned, it is Yumna's initial episodes acting that is mentioned and appreciated by the public and critics and no it is only your assumption that the Yumna's character got recognition because Bilal's character went downhill. Not enough evidence available to substantiate and support your claim.

Once again the same range of acting in YKS, although personally I like it, but you don't see any major difference in Sajal's demeanor before attempted assault saga and after that. It was the same tone, same deadpan expressions. Once again Sassi is the greatest female lead character is your own opinion and not a fact, not substantiated by any particular figures or evidence. And your understanding of Meerab's charcter is wrong, she is not a grey charcater, her intentions are always at the right place, her actions might not be correct sometimes. That makes you naive or if you want to be more hostile you can call Meerab dumb but she is not grey. Unfortunately, by the end of the show people should have been able to sympathize with Sassi's character and should have known about her intentions and why she did what she did but it wasn;t the cause. By the middle and then till end when we were watching it live, poeple were asking the question what does she actually want. You can visit O ranreza DT now if you want. It wasn't bad writing in O rangreza. It was just one dimensional acting and portrayal of Sassi.

Also, badly written character of Meerab, yet only Yumna could play it so well that people are still able to relate to her. And no it is not just Yumna's fans, people from all over the different countries who are watching TB relate to Meerab and have become Yumna's fan after watching TB. So yeah.. figures speak for themselves! Substantiated and supported by numbers and trends.

I will only answer your yumna related query 😆

Its her point of view and she believes so why are you hell bent on proving yumna's worth? If you don't find sajal's versatility its totally fine.

But you can't change anyone's opinion based on your numbers and what not.

How could you know only yumna could play well? Did anyone else also perform meerab?

Its the fact that its yumna who is performing meerab .

People are still able to relate to her? (Some people might relate some might not ) TB viewership is huge you might be knowing it uptill now.

Figure doesn't speak anything in this case. It's the plot that speaks . Numbers and trends do matter ofcourse and there tb is ruling no doubt.

*Facepalm* .. she replied to my quote of someone else's post. Does it answer your 'jazbaati main bahi hui' post?

No doubt Yumna is an elite talent. One of the best in the country.

Yumna, Paras Masroor, Gohar Rasheed, and Nauman Ijaz are world class actors.

To each its own , I am not actually a very die hard fan of sajal but I consider sajal as a more talented and far fetched actress than yumna and its my opinion. ( I don't think you can change that) If I respect your liking towards yumna you have to accept my liking towards sajal as well.

And yumna was by far the best in Dar si jati hai sila. (I will heavily appreciate her for Sila).

Bakhtawar , sorry no. I didn't liked the show or performance.

In ishq zahe naseeb she was okay, zahid nailed Ishqzahenaseeb for me.

I liked her in pks and dil na umeed to nahi ( not her best of best but likeable )

Sinfe ahan and parizad , no no no...
