Fahad Mustafa returned to television after 9 long years and reminded everyone why he ruled the silver screen the way he did. His last show before a long hiatus was Dusri Bivi, released in 2015. Before that, the 41-year-old star played diverse roles – ranging from a lover boy to a man who juggles the issues of life with maturity.
In his comeback show, Fahad plays the role of Mustafa, a brat, who gets married to Sharjeena (played by Hania Amir), a very sensitive and patient girl. Influenced by her ways, Mustafa tries to mend his ways and keep her happy. The show became a hit across Pakistan as well as in India, with people appreciating his breathtaking chemistry with Hania.
The makers have so far released 32 episodes and the show is now approaching its end. There are speculations that the final part could be released in theaters, looking at the emotional attachment that people have developed for the drama.
So, as we await the last episode of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, let’s take a look at Fahad Mustafa’s popular and hit shows, which established him as a superstar. Don’t miss out on these:
Kankar
Kankar was one of Fahad Mustafa’s most noticeable works, released in 2013. Directed by Aabis Raza, the show was a social commentary on the issue of domestic violence and featured superstar Sanam Baloch alongside Fahad. Fahad’s transformation from a loving husband to an abusive and confused man was praiseworthy. He was appreciated by the audience and critics alike and was also nominated in the ‘Best Actor Award’ category for Lux Style Awards.
Main Abdul Qadir Hoon
Main Abdul Qadir Hoon was a story about a golden-heart boy Abdul Qadir, played by Fahad Mustafa. Abdul does not get emotional support from his family and hence befriends a neighbor named Zareer. However, that decision turns out to be his worst, and Zareen – a spoiled brat – pushes him into a dark pit. The show was written by Sarwat Nazir and directed by Babar Javed. It featured an ensemble comprising Faisal Qureshi, Aamina Sheikh, Alishba Yousuf, Saba Hameed, and Asif Raza Mir.
Daagh
Daagh (2012) was such a big hit that it was one of the few shows aired in India on Zindagi channel. The drama tells the story of Murad, who marries the love of his life, Umama, against his family’s wishes. Despite a strong bond, family expectations to have a boy pull them apart, and Murad goes on to marry Deeba. The show focuses on social evils and struggles of a woman. Fahad established himself as a versatile actor with this show and went on to grab several good offers.
Dusri Biwi
Dusri Biwi was Fahad’s last show before he went on a break. He played the role of Haasan, a man living a happy life with his wife, Ayesha. Haasan’s life takes a tragic turn when he ends up fulfilling a promise and marrying his colleague, Farah. The show deals with the problematic concept of polygamy and how it affects a family, especially women. Maha Warsi and Hareem Farooq gave convincing performances; Fahad, as Haasan, also did a fabulous job as a man torn between two women.
Mastana Mahi
The show features Fahad Mustafa (Adal), Sajal Aly (Suhaai), and Mehreen Raheel (Aaleen). Adal, son of a big politician, is forced to marry a 10-year-old Suhaai. However, Adal falls in love with Aaleen and marries her after revealing the truth about his first marriage. The show is full of twists and turns and unravels complex characters and their journeys. The show has been one of Fahad’s most underrated works, even though he won a nomination in the Best Actor Category at the Lux Style Awards for the drama.
