zgh was the first time I saw fawad khan's work. and of course I googled and youtubed and watched the whole of zgh and humsafar.

the actress playing kashaf is fantastic. and some ppl say better than fk. but the past 2 episodes I realised why fk is so popular . . last 2 episodes were a drag fest with just one or two scene of zaroon . its not just fangirling :) but you want to watch him. and he makes everyone pull up their work. she is good, but on her own I don't think she can hold my attention

he has that elusive star quality and the best thing - the guy can act. he makes me like zaroon even though zaroon has morphed into a MCP . and I still cannot get over the absolutely controlled performance in the 2nd last episode of humsafar when he finds out everything. I still cry a little. love.

p.s. : is humsafar going to air? bec I read somewhere that its already been shown in India once. so doubtful. but I do hope so. YouTube doesn't do justice to the love story.

Ok not seen any of Fawad's work apart from ZGH and I must say he now has another fan in me. I see what drives all women crazy when it comes to him. 😆He definitely is a good actor, had a star quality and is good looking to boot. 😉

Fawad's an amazing actor. The nuances and subtlety he uses makes him stand apart from other actors. Not to mention, the guy's really charming, has the looks and carries himself very well. As you mentioned, Fawad even makes a chauvinistic character like Zaroon adorable as well as lovable.

Sanam Saeed is brilliant as Kashaf..and in my opinion, her role was more challenging than Fawad's and she played it effortlessly well. Fawad was amazing as Zaroon but this show didn't make or break him. It did however make Sanam Saeed..and really put her out there. I've read the novel, and there aren't many people who could've pulled off Kashaf as convincingly as Sanam despite being brilliant actresses themselves. However, I can imagine a few other Pak actors portraying Zaroon. Of course, Fawad adds to the show tremendously and without him, the show wouldn't be the same..but Sanam as Kashaf was great and in my opinion slightly more than Fawad. For Fawad, playing an Asher or a Zaroon is second nature..he's THAT good at it...but, I was more surprised with Saeed's efforts. As I said, this put her on the map. Overall though, generally speaking that is..Fawad's the better actor. In ZGH, I personally feel Sanam Saeed was the superior performer.

Not to mention, their chemistry was amazing...but coming back to what you're saying..Fawad's definitely more than a star, he's surely a brilliant performer.

And yes, I think Humsafar will be airing in India.

I would also recommend Dastaan. It has Fawad as the male lead and Sanam Baloch as the female lead. The content may come across as controversial because it goes back to the time of partition..but, both the leads were amazing in that show. That's one of Fawad's most underrated performance.

Fawad leaves u wanting for more. I agree 😆 He is just outta this world.He is a charmer.One is bound to get attracted to him.
But Sanam has been amazing as Kashaf too.

If you're a girl,it just makes more sense if u wanna see more of Fawad instead of Sanam 😆
The last two epis were quite slow. Im glad Kashaf and Zaroon met again.FINALLY! Yayyy ! May the fights begin! 🤣 cant wait to watch tomorrow's epi!

^^ oh ok! i agree i am fangirling over fawad ... i have been watching his shows non stop since i discovered zindagi ... and i have my exams coming up *head desk* ...

need - to - stop - obsessing

Dastan and i had had a very tragic beginning. I just randomly clicked on an episode of dastan on youtube and it was a rape scene. and now i just dont want to sit through 25 hours of sadness.

plus given its political plot, is there a lot of india bashing? I can't sit through over the top jingoism - indian or pakistani. That's why i walked out of sunny deol's gadar - utter shit.

I kinda have a different opinion.
This is the first time I am watching Paki shows and Fawad, but in ZGH, Sanam overshadows him completely. Her character is brilliantly written and she acts amazingly well too. I love FK too, but I guess I need to watch more of his shows to become his fan. ZGH is more of Kashaf's journey than Zaroon's (that is what I feel).

And I like watching Kashaf's scenes more than Zaroon's🤔 Maybe because after a LONG LONG LONG time I saw a female lead who isn't a bimbo or a doormat and at the same time not REPULSIVE also.

Fawad Khan is a superbly brilliant actor. After having watched him in ZGH i went on to watch Humsafar, Behadd, most of Dastaan, his ads, his concerts of EP and yes I can proudly as his new new fan say he is indeed a STAR ⭐️ He has that shining presence & impossible to ignore talents & looks

Liked Sanam in ZGH, Kashaf is the only female character I have ever loved on TV the credit of which should definitely be given to her talent as an actress, so as far as ZGH is concerned she is a star too 👏 Not seen any other work of hers so overall can't comment 😊

Fawad is one actor who you want to see more of😳 He deffo has that charm, that swag of star, that persona and that amazing vibe of a great performer.☺️ He not only looks good and holds ur attention but he just simply grabs it. He owns you when he is on-screen.❤️ Wish I had seen his work before ZGH when my friends used to pester me.😆
Coming to Sanam...I have fallen for Kashaf just coz of this girl...I don't know many actors who could have done this role this amazingly and effortlessly👏. And I kinda am a fan of her's too.🤗 She is an outstanding actress and according to me holds ur attention as well.😎
