Sajal Aly is one of the biggest stars of Pakistani drama and film industry. She started with Mahmoodabad's Malkain and the actress has done some great projects nationally and internationally. Sajal Aly is now known for signing great projects with scripts that have something to say and not just relegating mill damsel in distress stories. She has been giving hits like Aangan, Yakeen Ka Safar, Alif, Ye Dil Mera and Kuch Ankahi. She shines in her chosen drama and chooses scripts that show women in a strong light.
But the dramas being made these days are mostly based on classic saas-bahu sagas or women who have no agency of their own and will fall in love with the guy even though he is a predator and a criminal. Unfortunately, many such dramas get huge ratings like we just saw with Kesi Teri Khudagarzi which was a huge hit among the masses and even went trending in India.
We finally see Mehak fall in love with her hunter and the sword hero dies.
Sajal said that she and people like Saba Qamar have to say no to many projects because we see women loving their harassers, but as actors, we have the opportunity to choose good roles and It has the power to fight to show it as television has it. The power to effect change.
