The year 2025 saw a plethora of Pakistani dramas, but unfortunately, none of them could capture the hearts of viewers with their romantic storylines. While some on-screen pairs cast a spell on the audience, others fell flat due to weak chemistry, unnatural relationships, and poorly written scripts. From forced marriages to emotionally draining relationships, several on-screen pairs failed to impress viewers. Here’s a rundown of the worst on-screen pairs of 2025 that were met with criticism rather than applause.
Shaheryar Munawar and Ushna Shah shared the screen in the drama “Aye Ishq-e-Junoon” on Nijat TV. Although the drama garnered significant attention, the on-screen pair failed to impress viewers. The lack of emotional harmony between the lead actors was evident, making their partnership a forgettable one.
Wahaj Ali and Maya Ali, both prominent names in the Pakistani drama industry, were paired in the drama “Jo Bachar Gaye.” However, their on-screen chemistry failed to impress viewers. Despite being a well-known couple in real life, their on-screen pairing was a misfire. Viewers felt that their romantic chemistry was only evident in the final minutes of the last episode.
Faisal Qureshi and Hina Altaf’s on-screen pairing also sparked a heated debate. The age gap between the two actors was noticeable, and viewers found it hard to accept their on-screen romance. Although Faisal Qureshi justified the age gap, saying it was necessary for the script, viewers were not convinced.
Feroze Khan and Darshan Saeed, known for their high-profile dramas, starred together in “Sanwol Yar Pia.” Their on-screen chemistry seemed promising at first, but the presence of Ahmed Ali Akbar (Sanwol) overshadowed their pairing. Viewers found themselves rooting for Sanwol over Pia, leaving Feroze and Darshan’s on-screen partnership in the shadows.
Maaura Hussain, who played a love interest in “Agar Tum Sath Ho,” failed to impress viewers alongside Zaviyar Noman Ijaz and Amir Gilani (her real-life partner). The drama was a flop, and their on-screen chemistry was not enough to save it.
In other news, Pakistani social media influencer Tinisha Mackarthy (also known as T-Time) has announced a protest against YouTuber Rizwan Butt for not registering an FIR at the Sindh High Court. The protest was sparked after Butt allegedly harassed Mackarthy, who has been vocal about women’s rights and empowerment.
In a shocking revelation, Bollywood actress Khusi Mukherjee has made a startling claim about Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav. She alleged that Yadav had made a pass at her during a photoshoot.
Shahbaz Amanat Ali, a well-known Pakistani actor, has been making headlines again. Actress Bushra Ansari revealed that Shahbaz often makes her feel uncomfortable due to his awkward behavior.
Meanwhile, music composer and producer, Pritam, has become the fifth richest musician in the world, according to Forbes. Bollywood actress Shahnaz Gill has expressed her admiration for the Pakistani drama “Meri Zindagi Hai Tu.” She also took to her Instagram story to share a heartfelt message with her fans after a recent incident.
Actress Shahenaz Gill shared a handwritten note to her parents, revealing that she was under pressure to get married and was not emotionally prepared for it. The note also mentioned that she was struggling with depression due to other personal issues.
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s daughter, Ira Khan, has made a candid admission about her struggles with her mental health.
