Islamabad: One of Pakistan’s most acclaimed actors, Wahaj Ali, has made a much-anticipated return to the screen in Geo TV’s latest drama, Sunn Mere Dil, alongside the talented Maya Ali. Wahaj plays the role of Bilal Abdullah, a wealthy hotel chain owner, while Maya portrays the lively and charming Sadaf.
The drama, which premiered on October 9 and airs every Wednesday and Thursday, has only aired two episodes, but fans are already sharing their thoughts on the storyline and performances.
However, Wahaj Ali’s portrayal of Bilal Abdullah has not met expectations. Despite the initial excitement surrounding his comeback, Wahaj has faced online trolling and criticism for his performance in the drama.
Wahaj Ali as Bilal Abdullah
Wahaj plays Bilal Abdullah, a successful businessman who is frequently intoxicated, often stumbling around and relying on his loyal servant, Mirza Saab, for basic tasks, including walking. While the character—a wealthy hotelier with a drinking problem—could be intriguing, many viewers feel that the portrayal falls short.
Wahaj’s transformation, including changes to his look and voice for the role, hasn’t been well received by fans who had high hopes for his return to Geo TV. Rather than appreciating his efforts, many are comparing the role to a “Devdas-like” caricature, criticizing Bilal’s constant state of inebriation, which has left audiences unimpressed with both his performance and the character’s direction.
Fans React to Wahaj Ali’s Performance
Social media has been flooded with reactions, most of which have been negative. Viewers are criticizing the creators of Sunn Mere Dil for Bilal’s underwhelming portrayal, expressing disappointment in Wahaj’s return.
However, not all feedback has been critical. Some fans are urging patience, suggesting it’s too early to judge the show based on just two episodes. They believe Bilal’s character may develop further in upcoming episodes, and Wahaj’s performance might improve as the story unfolds.
