15 Of The Most Unappreciated Stars Of Pakistan | Six Screen

The Pakistani entertainment industry is full of new, talented, and unappreciated artists. There are famous stars, and then there are the quiet superstars. These underrated, talented artists are more diverse than the celebrated actors.

Here at Six Screen Media, we highlight those who deserve more attention. The following is a compilation of 15 such names from the industry that deserve more fame than they currently have.

1. Ahmed Ali Akbar

Ahmed Ali Akbar proved his range of versatility in Parizaad, where his emotional acting was on point and won millions of hearts. Despite a strong act, he still doesn’t enjoy the same star status as others. His sincerity and dedication make him one of the most underrated gems of Pakistan.

2. Haris Waheed

Haris Waheed is one of the finest young talents in the industry. He mostly prefers negative roles and ace every act he does, but still he is not recognized. With his natural style and fearless choices, Haris deserves far more recognition.

3. Hajra Yamin

Hajra Yamin is well recognized for her versatile and realistic acting in dramas, including Ehd-e-Wafa. She is truly versatile and expressive and constantly gives an illuminating performance but has not yet had that media buzz.

4. Saboor Aly

Often overshadowed by her own sister, Sajal Aly, Saboor has been making her own name through constant and believable performances, and she’s also the queen of negative roles. She knocks it out of the park like it’s a piece of cake. In Fitrat and Parizaad, we saw that she can do a wide variety of roles with grace.

5. Adeel Hussain

Adeel Hussain is an incredibly talented actor. Each of his performances is subtle and thoughtful. He has shown his versatility performing in Mata-e-Jaan to Daasi but remains underrated compared to his flashier peers.

6. Gohar Rasheed

Gohar Rasheed has such a bold screen presence and often takes interesting paths with his roles. He shows real depth in Ishqiya and Rangreza, too. Yet, he still doesn’t get the full recognition that is deserved.

7. Mansha Pasha

Mansha Pasha stands out as a leading actress or a supporting actress in every role. She is charming yet emotional. However, her understated style leaves her underrated in mainstream circles.

8. Omair Rana

Omair Rana has mastered the art of playing multifaceted characters. His work in Pyar Ke Sadqay earned praise, but he still flies under the radar compared to others.

9. Sania Saeed

Sania Saeed is a true legend of Pakistani drama. When she acts, she brings experience and genuineness to every character. Even after decades of acting, she is still not given the diehard attention and commitment that younger actors receive.

10. Yasra Rizvi

Yasra Rizvi acts with meaning and depth. Her performance in Dil Na Umeed To Nahi showcased her acting range. Though she is still underrated in regard to her fame.

11. Sarwat Gilani

Sarwat Gilani is an actress who has worked in a range of shows, dramas, films, and web shows like Churails; she takes risks and raises voice for female issues, although she is worthy of greater stature than her fame.

12. Faizan Khawaja

Faizan Khawaja is expressive and easy to relate to but has not been offered the roles that will create stardom; he continues to be reserved and committed to the process. This makes him an underrated name in the industry.

13. Adnan Jaffar

Adnan Jaffar is a talented stage and screen actor. He embodies every character he plays with passion, but he is not celebrated enough in mainstream media.

14. Shahzad Nawaz

Shahzad Nawaz is an eloquent actor who brings creativity and art to every project. His abilities as a creative artist truly showcase his versatility as an actor, but you never see his name elevated in broader circles.

15. Hajra Khanum (upcoming talent)

Hajra Khanum is one of the few new names who has done some promising acting in a few of her dramas. Although her career is at an early stage in the industry, we hope she is recognized early as an underrated upcoming star.

Final Thoughts

From Ahmed Ali Akbar’s mythical performance in Parizaad to Gohar Rasheed’s mainstream breakthrough and Hajra Khanum’s upcoming rise in the industry, these 15 hidden gems deserve much more recognition.

They showcase what is important in Pakistani entertainment: that true star power comes not from fame but through impact.
