A good twist that goes along with changes in characters as the story progresses makes a big difference in how the audience perceives these characters. There have been some stories of adulthood in Pakistani dramas that have needed these transformations in order to make these paths more relevant.
There are some Pakistani actors who make sure that they pay equal attention to their outward appearance in order to give their character the perfect look.
However, in this article we will talk about those physical changes, changes in outward appearances, and the characters who have gone through some major changes as the story progresses.
The earlier and later photos of these actors clearly indicate that the directors and actors have fully realized how important it is to give these characters a change that suits their current situation.
Looking at these improvements alone is enough to demonstrate that the characters have gone through some major changes. If you have watched the drama, you will understand the backstory better than anyone else, but even if you haven't watched the drama, you will still find these transitions interesting.
Ushna Shah (From Rani to Reena Begum)
The character Ushna Shah in Alif Allah aur Insaan is by far the most memorable character on screen. Her character has gone through a major drama transformation.Rani was a beggar with big dreams who eventually had the opportunity she was looking for and ended up becoming one of the most sought-after movie actresses. The role itself was gray all the time which made him all the more interesting.
When Ushna played The Beggar, she looked like the role she was and when polished over the years, she looked completely different. In fact, when looking at these two pictures, it's hard to tell that both images have the same personality and drama. Sure, this is one of the best improvements we've seen in Pakistani dramas.
Zahid Ahmed (From Sameer to Sameera)
Zahid Ahmed played a complex and unconventional role in the drama series Ishq Zahe Naseeb. This was the first time that Zahed stepped out of his comfort zone and played the role of two distinct personalities.
Samir was a clever businessman and his flip side Samira was a complicit woman who took over his other character. When the ascetic Samir was like a businessman who was in control, and when he was Samira he had some kind of makeup that convinced you that this person was definitely not Samir! We've seen Pakistani actors wearing makeup for different roles in the drama, but this particular change was definitely unique.
People waited to meet Samira for a few weeks and as soon as she appeared, everyone liked it, what a transformation!
Yumna Zaidi (Pre and Post Marriage)
Mahjabeen is one of those characters in Pyar Ke Sadqay that totally captivated viewers from the very beginning. When a veiled woman suddenly married Abdullah, a boy from an upper-class family, she was expected to change her looks and style to fit these new roles.Muhajibin went to great lengths to alter her appearance when she realized that Shanzai was back in Abdullah's life. In an effort to look as stylish and modern as Shanzay Mahjabeen, she gave herself a change that no one expected of her a few weeks ago.
Although her character is still the same, a veiled appearance clearly shows that she is now ready to change herself to accommodate her new family.
Imran Ashraf (From Shammo to Shimmy)
Imran Ashraf is another actor on the list. His character has undergone a big change in the drama series Alif Allah aur Insaan. He played Shamu, a transgender woman who was constantly ridiculed when he made a living dancing at weddings.He ran away from his home and turned things around for him. Although even after transforming into one of the biggest makeup artists in the industry, his behavior remained the same, Imran oversaw that he made sure to completely change his looks in proportion to his transformation.
His transformation sure went well with the character he played and the changes in his personality.
Humayun Saeed (Coming of age)
The role of Humayun Saeed in the drama series Mere Pass Tum Ho will always be remembered by viewers. Danesh was a passionate husband who never went after material things.When his wife left him because she wanted to be with someone rich, Danesh decided to change his financial situation. In these two photos, it's clear how convincingly Humayun Said decided to give his character a change that would suit his character's needs.
In later episodes the Dane was more dominant, at least on the outside, looking more mature and handsome. Looking at these two photos, it's clear that the Dane has changed a lot over the years.
Mikaal Zulfiqar (The Spiritual Journey)
When Shahzeb's path began in Alef Allah Ur-Insan, no one could have imagined that it would turn into a touching spiritual journey. McCall Zulfiqar was introduced as a man who wanted worldly things and most importantly, he loved someone he did not love.As the story progressed, Shahzab realized the insignificance of these worldly desires and decided to devote his life to religion. The change of Mkallal Zulfiqar when Shahzab decided to walk the path followed by his religious mentor was the best we saw in the drama.
Ahad Raza Mir (From Carefree to Mature)
When the character of Ahad Raza Mir was introduced in Yakeen Ka Safar, he was the carefree and fun-loving little boy. As the story progressed and due to certain tragedies, his character became really serious and more mature than viewers initially expected.There was some anger as well, and Dr. Esfandiar looked like the character he was playing at that moment which was very different from the way his character was presented. Look at these two pictures from episode one and one of the last few episodes, the change definitely suits the character's development.
Iqra Aziz (Rags to Riches)
The character Iqra Aziz went through a complete transformation when Nuri, who had nothing to do with him, married into a wealthy family. Although Nuri always dreamed of being inflated, this marriage happened all of a sudden.Iqra Aziz's turnaround was exemplary. She looked like the girl who couldn't even bear decent clothes when she was poor and completely changed her looks after marrying Bhula.
Hania Aamir (From Ziddi to Helpless)
Hania Amer played the selfish, materialistic and cruel girl in the drama series Titli. Naela was really proud of her beauty and did not value relationships.Although Hania wasn't wearing a lot of makeup when she was playing this part of her character, in the end when Naela completely lost her senses and ended up in a mental institution,
Hania's transformation went well with the situation her character was in. Crosses through. It made this final scene of the drama unforgettable.
Alizeh Shah (From Student to Captain)
Aliza Shah's change in Ehd-e-Wafa was not a change in her overall appearance, but it was a surprise that she presented her husband on their wedding day.Dua has always been portrayed as a responsible girl but when she was wearing that army uniform to her wedding, it was this perfect change that showed where her priorities lie now.
This was also the first time viewers had seen such a bride in a Pakistani drama. This change was indicative of a change in Doaa's life.
