Jaan e jaan was the comeback of the popular A list pairing of hamza and ayeza, with an ensemble starcast and big budget still it failed to reach the 10m milestone on yt. Except the first 2 episodes, none of the remaining one's have touched 10m even after 10 months.
Whereas smd with crap storyline and less screenspace of leads is managing to cross 10m in a week. And the credit goes to the audience pull of wahaj as people are okay with watching any crap for him. Mein also managed to hit 10m only because wahaj was part of the show. The last 2 episodes were he had the centre stage trended at number 1 in india and pak.
Tbh, the only ML who has delivered solid YT views on his name alone is DT because he did so with shows with no promotions, bad scripts, low production quality and Z-list FLs that no one knows of. If Mein or SMD had a Komal Mir or Laiba Khurram or Sehar Hashmi, it may not have gotten 10M views. Same if ML in Mein or SMD was a Haris Waheed or a Khaqan instead of Wahaj. So, Wahaj definitely was a big factor but to say he was the only factor is a stretch. The pairing matters.
Honestly, these Wahaj vs X FL comparisons make no sense. Like JeJ had pretty decent TRPs but only YT views were low. With SMD, TRPs are really low but YT views are doing better. Hania has more blockbusters under her belt than Wahaj. Ayeza shows consistently get TRPs for years. So based on this totality of evidence, saying X has more pull than Y or vice versa makes no sense to me.

phir uske YT views 10 hi kyun na ho..atleast I am investing my time watching a good show and not playing rabid rabid..
