Pakistani dramas in 2024 brought new and unique ideas that resonated with crowds—this year also denoted the arrival of a few mega male stars to TV, solidifying its position as the leading medium in the entertainment industry. Male stars in Pakistani dramas appreciate enormous fan followings, thanks to the predominantly female viewership.
Entertainers who put effort into their jobs frequently become commonly recognized names, and 2024 was no special case. This year, numerous Pakistani dramas showcased many exceptional performances that had an enduring effect on watchers.
As we end 2024 on a fantastic note, let’s take a look at the actors who delivered knockout performances in TV dramas over the past 12 months.
- Fahad Mustafa in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum
Fahad Mustafa took the TV industry by storm as he got back in the game after more than 10 years with Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. A drama with a very interesting family story and acting that looked too natural attracted the audience from Pakistan as well as overall where the language is spoken or perceived. Fahad Mustafa as Mustafa was the embodiment of a genuine middle-class man’s struggles.
- Mohib Mirza in Jafaa
Jafaa is a mixed bag, but Mohib Mirza as Hassan will be remembered. He exhibited Hassan as a mental health patient well, but he also displayed what an abuser looks like. A difficult character to pick on, but Mohib Mirza did justice to Hassan, and his personality’s story and curve were likely the best thing about Jafaa. Mohib Mirza worked hard, and he picked a decent role to return to TV.

- Zahid Ahmed in Gentleman
Zahid Ahmed is considered among the most talented actors in the Pakistani drama industry. The scripts he picks and the performances he brings on TV are always the best out there. Zahid Ahmed also came back on TV with a bang, and his work in Gentleman as Faris outperformed countless different superstars who were also a piece of the show.
- Bilal Abbas Khan in Mann Jogi
Bilal Abbas Khan gave one of the greatest hits of the year with Ishq Murshid, and he was outstanding as Shahmeer Sikandar/Fazal Bakhsh; however, his performance as Ibrahim in Mann Jogi was something different. To dress down this much for a role and take on the liability to address mob violence is estimable. Bilal Abbas Khan’s Ibrahim also depicted the real face of a Muslim, and this is the sort of thing we should have a greater amount of in Pakistani dramas.
- Faysal Quraishi In Khaie
Yet again, Faysal Quraishi lands on the best entertainers list with his appearance as Chinar Khan in Khaie. A show that was a trial for Pakistani TV became what it became because of Faysal Quraishi’s manic performance of a villain who made individuals fall head over heels for him eventually. Faysal was perfect in Khaie, and fans adored him.
- Sohail Ahmed in Standup Girl
Standup Girl is a kind of drama that we want a greater amount of on our TV. Sohail Ahmed once again showed why he is the OG. His beloved character Nana Miyan helped many individuals to remember their grandparents. His personality was that of an open-minded grandfather who learned more to connect with the younger family members and represented the issues faced by artists in Pakistan.
