Sanam B/Sanam Saeed/Fahad are perhaps the best performers of the year?

Well the year is almost coming to an end. so I think it's safe to say who has done well and who has not...ANDD..I just saw Kankar's latest episode and I had to make this thread specifically for these two and their acting/performances in this show.
My oh my..Sanam Baloch is absolutely fantastic in Kankar. This past episode belonged to her completely. She is such a natural. Her eyes, voice modulation and overall expressions are brilliant. You feel everything she's saying. And, Kiran's character is awesome. She's perhaps one of the strongest female characters to come out in recent times. Hopefully Kiran continues to live up to my expectations and Sanam Baloch keeps surprising me with each episode...because honestly..I've always loved Sanam's acting..but she just proves how she's one of the best performers in Pakistan. It's amazing how Sanam Baloch was not the first choice for this role..Mahira and Saba Qamar were offered Kiran's role before Sanam..yet I can't see anyone but Baloch as Kiran. Probably one of her strongest roles yet

Fahad Mustafa is also doing such a great job. I like how both of these two actors are given significant screen space and it's not like one's character overshadows the other. He may not look his best in this show but his acting has made me completely forget that. One of the best male performances this year. His face does all the talking even without a single dialogue. He's amazing.

I haven't seen many shows this year but whatever I have seen. Sanam B and Fahad top my list. Apart from these two in Kankar...Sanam Saeed in ZGH was spectacular, so I rate her performance alongside these two..but apart from these three, I think no one else has performed as convincingly.

Your thoughts? and if you disagree then share who you think is as good/better.

you should definitely watch Kankar. I think you'll like it. As far as Fahad's concerned..he's doing a great job (as always).

I say this with a heavy heart and as an ardent Fawad fangirl..lol..
Fawad was great in Zindagi Gulzar Hai. I loved him as Zaroon..I absolutely adore his chemistry with Saeed..BUT, with that said, I don't think ZGH belonged to him as much as it belonged to Sanam Saeed. I honestly felt Sanam Saeed overshadowed him in many places. So, I have a slight problem saying he was as good as Sanam Saeed this year..because Sanam Saeed can be touted as possibly the best performer of this year.
I honestly wouldn't rate him alongside Fahad's performance in Kankar in male actors as I think Fahad so far, has been the best I've personally seen this year...a few notches below - yes. The thing is, Sikandar is a far more challenging character whereas Zaroon wasn't as challenging for Fawad..Zaroon is kind of like second nature to Fawad the actor. He can do such characters in his sleep. That's the thing with Fawad..he doesn't exploit his talent. I have yet to watch Numm..but I have no doubts about Fawad's performance there..the only problem that I may have is with the script/direction..because Kankar on the other hand is being told brilliantly which only helps the performances come out even better.

Here's one of my favorite scenes from Kankar from last week's episode.
Fahad doesn't even need to say a word..his face expresses it all when Sanam Baloch comes to vent/insult him.

I felt Fahad really killed it in the last episode. Especially in the scene you posted, when she says she wants a talaak. His face spoke volumes. He did such a great job when his mom is telling him about how Kiran doesn't deserve him and he should give her a divorce too. This is the first Fahad show I have seen so I am mighty impressed.
I love Sanam Baloch since I saw Dur-e-Shahwar. What a performer she is. I absolutely adore her as Kiran. Kankar is definitely my most favorite show this year and its especially thanks to Sanam and Fahad. ❤️

All three of them were mind blowing in this year. Kiran's character is very strong who can never compromise on her self-respect and Sanam B is fab in it. Fahad on the other hand is brilliant as well in Kankar!
But Sanam Saeed is best for me so far! My all time favourite character in Pakistani shows is Kashaf, and she will always be remembered as Kashaf plus she's proving that she's very versatile actress, look at her choice of characters i.e Minah, Paras and Kashaf this year and how anyone can forget her comic timing in her Telefilm as Shameer bhai and Mashal.

But I have to mention another lady and that is Sameena Peerzaada, she was so so so good in Rehaai.
