Stars and popular actors reject scripts all the time w/o getting banned. SMD was rejected by both Obi and Talha and presumably other FLs. Saifee just said yesterday that Sajal didn't want to do TMNON. Ali Raza said he turned down 16 scripts. One luxury of being a star is that you can say no and pick and choose whats best. Wahaj himself said he did ott few years ago because nothing he was offered clicked. So he could say no then but not now? Let's stop infantilizing him and making him out to a be bechara who had no choice. When B listers and younger gen can get central protagonist roles and meaty cktrs in decent dramas (if not good then at least average dramas) then what excuse there is.
I think Haseeb and Maya were on board first and Haseeb thought they were making Mann Mayal 2.0. Maybe they werent able to find any top male star say yes to this drama and approached Wahaj. I also refuse to believe this was comeback project Kaddu had in mind for Wahaj. Kaddu probably gave Wahaj carte blanche to pick any project. Wahaj then decided to choose this because of friendship. Thats my theory. Not reading the script doesn't explain not knowing you are the 3rd lead who gets barely any character development.
Except TMNON,Qarz E Jaan what good content is available in PTV right now? Meem Se Mohabbat or Iqtidar or Aye Ishq E Junoon? Let's assume he is not offered hum projects because he has some problems with them..than what about other projects?? Others may be not troll worthy but are they really oh-so-wow content? He doesn't even believe staying away from acting for too long...so what should he do? Just wait for "the right script"? And when will it come? After 2 years,3 years? Yes SMD is trolled for its problematic writing..but is his character bad? NO..and screentime can't determine whether BA is a hero or not. His character has been shown very heroic and even with least screentime he had the most impactful scenes and dialogues..that itself says about the weightage of his character..its about the quality of scenes and not the quantity of scenes. I will remember each and every dialogue by Bilal Abdullah which he has said about his love..that's the impact he had left on me.
Do people have the right to feel bad about him signing SMD ? Than YES,OFCOURSE...but the way people are trolling him and lashing out at him and dictating his career choices..to wait for the right project.. That's totally UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
