Cast of the drama serial ‘Pyar ke Sadqay’ which is being aired on HUM TV, includes some of the most brilliant and versatile actors Pakistan has to offer. The star-studded lineup also includes Yashma Gill — a chic and adaptable Pakistani actress who has grown through the ranks of Pakistani drama industry in no time.

Acing various roles in some of the most popular serials has made Yashma Gill ‘a name to be remembered’. After her consecutive successful performances in ridiculously well-written dramas such as Alif, Piya Naam ka Diya, and Ghar titli ka Par, she is now playing the character of Shanzay: A sassy and pompous girl who likes to keep her standards high. The serial comes with its own high and low doses of entertainment.

The lead characters of this Pakistani Drama, Bilal Abbas Khan and Yumna Zaidi have also put up a brilliant effort, an equal one. Shanzay is the love interest of Abdullah Shahbaz, a nervous boy who doesn’t find daily life as easy as his mates. Rather, a cloak of sweet innocence encircles his personality which Shanzay finds hard to adapt with and ultimately ends up turning down Abdullah when he asks her out. Instead, she seeks a partner equal in brilliance and stature. This is where she goes wrong and ends up getting engaged with a guy who sees no one but himself and is used to getting things done the way he wants.

Esa doesn’t acknowledge Shanzay even a bit. Contrary to Shanzay’s expectation, her fiancée cares only about himself and overlooks Shanzay’s feelings. This rings a bell for Shanzay and she starts to seriously question her choice. Coupled with her newly developed appreciation for Abdullah, Shanzay begins to think that she has made a wrong decision. This ever changing appearance of Shanzay’s character is beautifully expressed by Yashma. Her flexibility and ever green personality helped bring out the best in this role. With her skills, she beautifully depicted how a woman stuck in an overbearing relationship feels like. We strongly recommend live streaming this drama because you’d definitely not want to miss out on such artistry.

The ever shifting role of Shanzay is brought to life by Yashma in ‘Pyar ke Sadqay’ in the same way she did justice to roles she played before on HUM TV live and other platforms. Her acting has added relevancy to this character with sublime expressions and top notch dialogue delivery. Up until now she has not received her fair share of screen time but we are expecting more as the drama matures.

With a rapidly changing story, we are anxiously waiting to see more of Shanzay, Mahjabeen, and Abdullah. You can also watch this on live TV options offered by many OTT platforms and save the hassle of unwanted interruptions.
