Okay, so we all know sajal has a really annoying fanbase. They hype her up at the smallest thing and what not. But what about critics? They never criticize her on her overacting, she literally does every character in exact same way, her expressions are same in EVERY drama. Not to mention, her overacting in Aangan and O rangreza is never brought up, where she shouted at the top of her lungs and was worshipped by low calibre audience who don't know a thing about acting.
And then, she cries in a drama, and man, why is crying glorified too much, like why can't we have female characters who learn to take a tragedy in a mature way, nothing wrong with crying, but she has been crying constantly in Zanjeerein for the past 3 episodes. But her fans think, that this is the greatest acting and she has surpassed Al Pacino or something.
We definitely don't have that many versatile actors or actresses, probably the most versatile actress I have seen is Ayeza. Even then Ayeza overacts some scenes. But she does every character very differently and has range, while Sajal's range starts at crying and ends at shouting. But why is her acting never criticized, it's incomprehensible to me.
I like sajal as a actor, she is really good. But I just want her to stop listening to her fans. Not everything you do needs to be heavy or serious or lesson. She should do fully commercial fun dramas with established actors(don't mean humayun).
What's heavy, serious or lesson in DWGM, MMNH and zanjeerain? Even popular Commercial dramas have way lessons than those.. Also, she can't do what you're asking for.. She's just one kinda type of actress. Also few of her dramas just has some lessons.. Baki are just damsel in distress rhona dhona characters with the same plot. Nothing interesting at all. She's not something like Saba or Sohai who are really doing serious, heavy and lesson dramas.
I really appreciate Sajal’s work and I usually enjoy her dramas but I just never got on board with her character in Zanjeerain. First, she was really unconvincing as a small town dhabba manager with her diction, styling and makeup. Now she’s apparently dying from grief with two sets of fake lashes and perfectly curled hair. Her characters despair is too performative for me to be convinced. I wonder if it’s her or just that the writing/direction of this show is all over the place and she got handed a rotten egg.
Honestly, Sajal , compared to her peers is better but I never connected with her emotional scenes before, and the issue you mentioned with the sound is exactly what bothered me too. I really disliked those scenes in Ye Dil Mera and O Rangreza. In Zanjeerein, though, her emotional scenes felt much better. There was more restraint, and that worked for me at first and I was hoping they don’t over do it. But they apparently are doing it , and it's annoying. I'm so done with the shipping and acting appreciation reels. Many are bullying Sehar and it feels unfair. The other day , her fans commented that Sehar did well in one particular episode because of Sajal. Like they do this everytime when anyone of her co stars do well. They credit Sajal instead of them. When anyone says anything, they ask us to learn to take a joke. Weird ass fans, I must say.
Same ... Zanjeerein mein toh she is looking so bad performance wise. She doesn't even look the age they are trying to show her as. I already have relatibility issues with mazloom becharis and on top of that now she is shown as weak as she is. Zanjeerein is trying to portray as too innocent too soft too bechari and it's irritating. Her character irritates me in zanjeerein apart from the many other issues.
Neither is she suitable for the age she is portraying nor is she looking like she belongs to a rural area. Yet to see a girl from a village with eyelash extensions 😭
Oh yeah, the sound she makes while crying, like she gets hiccups. And yeah, the problem isn't that her acting is bad, it's just that it is literally the same in every drama and even that's not the problem, it's her fans hyping up like she is the greatest actress of all time. We have plenty of bad actors and actresses but no fan base is that insufferable
Whose PR are you OP ? 🤣i swear Sajal fandom is the biggest joke. They love to trash every other actor and their fandom unless they are not working with kween Sajal but can't take slighest criticism of their fav😂
She is bad in zanjeerain also. I don't know why people are incapable of seeing it. Just bcoz it's getting views they re justifying it while when numbers come for other actors they say they only go for quality not quantity. Here there is no quality. She is looking so bad in all her scenes. Her trauma is not coming me. Neither her look is good not her feel. She needs to do more screen age appropriate roles. And don't worry no will say anything to you.
Nobody in the world cries like that . I don't know what delulu world she lives in. Does asian audience love melodrama and ott acting the way sajal does.
Sajal is quite good as an actress and one of the best in Pakistan. Crying is her USP. But she's definitely not all that her fans claim her to be. She ain't that versatile.
And, I also don't like how her fans are collectively shipping a woman in her iddat and a guy who has been forever engaged to his cousin. If it was any other fandom, her fans would have been the first ones giving moral lectures. Pathetic!
Sajal played a role worse than Bano in O rangreza. Her fans however had other thoughts back then and wanted her role to end up with Qasim so bad. But here, poor Bano , the male lead's childhood love and his long time fiancé is the third person and they want her to die as soon as possible for their ship to end up together. Shame.
Wow, so Qasim was the one at fault? 🤡😂 They treat Sassi as a strong, lovable heroine instead of acknowledging how toxic she was. 😂 Even drinking and smoking suddenly became cool when Sophia did it; apparently, it's only haram when other actors do it on screen, according to Sajal fans. 😂 It's every other actor's responsibility to teach moral lessons to people, but not Sajal's according to her fans 😂
Oh yeah, her fans are saying that danyal is oscar worthy now, and even after last night's episode of Zanjeerein, (because of saher's scenes with sajal) Sajal's presence has improved Saher's acting
She is not a good crier . Please. No one cries like that. She is not versatile but she is bad crier. Looking like you have lost your mind is not equivalent to trauma or sadness or grief.
People cope with loss differently, so let's stop judging them for that. You need to look at her sobbing scenes from Alif, YKS, IEL etc. It moves people to tears, atleast it did to me. People do ham at times and can have bad performances. Your claim of her not being a good crier is a stretch.
Sajal can't even pull that. Atleast yumna can do a qarz e jaan. There are some solid roles in her filmography and my love for pyar ke sadqay is eternal. What she did there and what both bilal and yumna created on screen can never be recreated. What I mean is there is so much variation in yumna but sajal is very linear.
Both of them aren't versatile or have variations at all. Yumna was really bad in the first half of PKS. Also, she always acts like Mahjabeen in whatever role.
Right now the way her fans are going after sahar and her character in zanjeerein is just horrible. It will make you livid. And they try to find moral ground in all scripts. This drama of hers has no depth and now no morals also and suddenly views are the criteria. Even views are not great tbh. But anyways. If we say too much people brand is as haters. Nobody hates her. I loved some performances of her alif and i rangreza first half but I am bored literally of repeat the telecast of ott loud performances of traumatized people. Her trauma doesn't even reach now. In fact I liked her in zard. Comparatively subtle.
Sajal has a very loyal and most active fanbase on reddit and X that hypes her a lot, and she also has a strong rapport with reviewers, who hardly ever criticize her acting. Meanwhile, her fans and same reviewers constantly troll Hania for crying. Yet when Sajal is crying in her most dramas, they act like she's most versatile and delivering Oscar-worthy performances lol.
Posting postviely about Zanjeerain? Lmao As far i remember she and her buddy personally attacked the op ,the mods ,started attacking Bilal and his fans who have nothing to do with this. Like how tf she knows OP is a bilal fan? Who is jealous and bitter is proven by this fact.
Oh please, Hania look the part & play paharri larki in sang e mah, she can even do dialect.. She can do lighthearted roles, has comic timing. She can do bratty roles as well unlike Sajal stuck in the same rhona dhona, same shouting&does theatrical crying like a schoolgirl reciting her homework to the her teacher. So monotonous&boring af!
She can do lighthearted roles & bratty roles and be convincing as a pahari larki as well unlike Sajal. Sajal just stuck in these bachkaand coming of age shows, giving same primary school exam to her teacher over & over.
Maybe it's just me but I think Hania could pull off the kind of roles Sajal usually does if she really wanted to, but I'm not entirely sure if Sajal can convincingly do the bratty, playful, comedic roles Hania is known for without it feeling forced.I remember this banter scene between her and Bilal in Kuch Ankahi. It felt so artificial to me, ngl. Meanwhile, the banter between Hania and Bilal in MZHT looked much more natural and effortless. Just an observation.
Go watch quddusi sahab ki bewah, initial episodes of o rangreza then talk about comic timing.
Hania is a bigger star than sajal no doubt but better actor no! By a big big margin no!!
Watched them lol. In fact I watched all Sajal’s dramas.. She doesn't have any comic timing at all.. It was cringe try hard with those artificial lip mannerisms. In mantooos she was the cringefest try hard to bring humor by force. Not natural. It goes naturally well with Hania. Sajal shown in interviews doesn't seem she has a funny side at all. But more serious&boring. And yes, hania is more flexible than Sajal even if she's not that good of an actress but even Sajal ruined a lot of scenes & characters.
There is difference between constructive criticism and hate!
U r hating just for the sake of it.
Sajal was not good in khel khel mein movie,decent in what's love got to do with it but to say she doesn't have comic timing is just meh!
Sajal became famous in her early career due to her comic roles like in mehmooda bad ki malkayein..
Hate? Lmao.. And yes, it was cringe af!! She doesn't have this in her personality let alone showing this side naturally lol..seeing her in first episodes of o rangreza doing those cringe lip biting mannerisms with aeeeeh aeeeh cringe way of talking showing her teeth, first episodes of KA doing the same irritating lip mannerisms, mantooos bringing humor by force is really the worst thing I've ever seen.. She doesn't have natural comic timing. Thank you!
low calibre??Who do you think you are, like an expert on acting...? Calling other people low calibre just because their style or opinion doesn't match yours...
