KARACHI-There was a time when the showbiz industry worked with a fix template that a leading lady had to be portrayed as the girl next door.
Even actresses were hesitant to break the stereotype and embrace a challenging grey shaded character. The fiery, distinct, and assertive strong woman was rare to watch on the screen, which made it hard for the modern women to relate to these characters.
As the rules of entertainment are altering rapidly with the passing time, the mindset has also changed. Actresses today want to prove them self as a versatile star and show their amazing acting skills in all different kinds of roles.
7th Sky entertainment’s latest drama “Dil-e-Gumshuda” features Amar Khan in a never-seen-before avatar.
For the unversed, the plot revolves around Zara (HinaAltaf) and Alizay (Amar Khan) who are poles apart.
Zara is an orphan adopted by Alizay’s father after the demise of his brother. She is naïve and innocent by nature, and on the contrary, Alizay lives life on her own terms.
She is smart and knows how to play all her moves to succeed in her plans. She is insecure to the core and doesn’t want to share anyone whom she is possessive about.
Zara isn’t welcomed by her cousin sister and aunt. As soon as she entered their home, they made it a point to look down upon her and show her she can never be one of them.
Though Zara is not your typical girl-next-door who can easily be played, the drama keeps the viewer’s interest alive because Zara knows just how cunning are the people she is dealing with. There is a striking contrast between the two characters, and the clashes between the two bring in interesting twists and turns in the storyline.
The performances by the cast are adequate, though it is Amar Khan’s stellar act that steals the show and makes her character stand out.
Playing the kind of character that she has never played before; Amar Khan is standing out with her performance.
She plays the rich fashionista, and a headstrong girl to perfection, who can go to any lengths to manipulate people to do what she wants them to do.
Her character, appearance, demeanor, and moralities succeed in drawing the audience’s hatred. She seems to slip into her role with captivating ease.
Will Zara and Alizay be able to settle their issues? Will Alizay ever accept Zara’s presence in her life? Dil-e-Gumshuda goes on air every Monday to Friday at 9 pm on Geo TV.
