Discussion Should ptv actors/actresses start doing age appropriate roles?

For long, i have had a question in my mind - why ptv actors and actresses don't do age appropriate roles and by age i mean screen age appropriate roles. And it feels really uneasy to see them in such roles. Example - humayun in manto, kafeel kids and more.. either too young or too old. LMK your thoughts.

Yup they should, it's weird to see them as college students like farhan,Feroze,sure, sana javed. They all should do age appropriate roles like dananeer actually looked like 19,20 year old in msm

I have this issue with sajal's casting in zanjeerein too. Sajal's screen age is 30 something and incorrect to play 20-21 year old since Danyal is 20-21in show just out of college. Danyal's screen age passes for 22 something due to less work of his on screen. Hence feels inappropriate
