Islamabad: Indian actress and singer Shehnaaz Gill has once again expressed her admiration for Pakistan’s entertainment industry, saying that Pakistani dramas stand apart because of their emotional storytelling, natural romance, and powerful performances.
In a recent interview clip that has gone viral on social media, the Bigg Boss 13 star revealed that she is a huge fan of Pakistani dramas and enjoys watching them regularly. She also named some of her favourite Pakistani actors, including Hania Aamir, Bilal Abbas Khan, and Fahad Mustafa.
Speaking about the actors, Shehnaaz described Hania Aamir as her “favourite” and praised Bilal Abbas Khan’s acting skills. She also appreciated Fahad Mustafa‘s performance, particularly his role in the hit drama ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’.
Discussing the dramas she has recently watched, the actress said she thoroughly enjoyed ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ and also praised Meri ‘Zindagi Hai To’, describing both as outstanding productions.
Explaining what makes Pakistani dramas unique, Shehnaaz said their portrayal of love feels genuine and emotionally rich.
“I like Pakistani dramas because the romance feels very natural. There is no need for excessive physical intimacy. The emotions, expressions, and storytelling are so powerful that they create a different kind of magic,” she said.
According to the actress, the slow-paced storytelling and the emotional depth of the characters keep viewers engaged, making Pakistani dramas stand out from many other television industries.
She added that love in Pakistani dramas is expressed through meaningful performances, subtle emotions, and strong scripts rather than unnecessary physical scenes, allowing audiences to connect more deeply with the characters.
The interview quickly gained attention online, with fans from both Pakistan and India welcoming her comments. Many Pakistani social media users thanked Shehnaaz for appreciating the country’s drama industry, while others recommended more popular Pakistani serials for her to watch.
This is not the first time Shehnaaz Gill has spoken warmly about Pakistan. On previous occasions, she has expressed gratitude for the love and support she receives from Pakistani fans, saying they hold a special place in her heart.
Shehnaaz rose to fame through Bigg Boss 13, where her lively personality and close friendship with the late actor Sidharth Shukla made her one of the show’s most popular contestants.
She later made her Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ and has since appeared in films, music videos, and talk shows, including Thank You For Coming. Today, she enjoys a strong fan following not only in India but also in Pakistan and several other countries.
