I think we can agree to some extent that GEO shows are some of the most dragged and toxic among all 3 channels.... and many of these actors have also acted in HUM shows and done good work there...
Sabeena, for instance, got famous with Tere Bin (where unfortunately she was quite one-dimensional), but her acting capability came through in Kabuli Pulao and Mann Jogi (both on HUM)...
And while Wahaj gained stardom with Tere Bin, content wise Dil Na Umeed to Nahi, Ehd-e-wafa, and Ishq Jalebi were much better (all 3 on HUM again).... and seems like he is coming back to HUM with the telefilm with Mahira Khan.
Nepotism, unfortunately, exists in every industry like you mentioned... yes it can get you initial foot in the door, but beyond that you are only as good as your work... Ahad may have gotten initial chances due to his family name, but he has worked hard on all his roles as well...
I haven't seen any of Zaviyar or Azaan's works, so can't comment....
