Cast and Characters

Farhan Saeed as Farhad (Episode 1 onwards)

The co-titular male character (hehe). He runs a stall at the railway station where his father is a station master. He likes to read and lives in a dream world.

Kinza Hashmi as Shirin (Episode 1 onwards)

The co-titular female character (we are not laughing now, the joke’s old). She’s Saifuddin’s daughter. The father-daughter share a strange bond which made me uncomfortable somehow. More on that in episode 1 review.

Tanveer Syed as Imdad Hussain (Episode 1 onwards)

Farhad’s father, a station master, a man or principles. Strict with his children, at times more strict than he should be,

Saleem Mairaj (Yet to make appearance)

Rashid Farooqui as Saifuddin Darzi aka Master Ji (Episode 1 onwards)

The tailor master who readies outfits for heroes and heroines.

Ali Tahir as Sultan (Episode 1 onwards)

The director

Zhalay Sarhadi as Rozi (Episode 1 onwards)

Learning kathak at Master Ji, clearly Shirin’s rival

Kanwal Khan as Shamsa (Episode 1 onwards)

Farhad’s sister

Mubashir Mehmood as Ahmad (Episode 1 onwards)

Shirin’s ummeedwar, kafi chipku hain janab.

P.S. I might be wrong about the actor’s name. Haven’t seen him before.

Ali Rizvi (Episode 1 onwards)

Irfan Motiwala as Chamman Miyan Paan Waley (Episode 1 onwards)

Takes pride in making paan that Malka-e-Tarannum was a fan of. Thoda philosopher type aadmi hai.

Ali Sikandar as Golden bhai (Episode 1 onwards)

Part of Sultan’s production crew

Rana Majid as Ali (Episode 1 onwards)

Farhad’s friend who doesn’t hesitate from calling Farhad’s BS, also uska hone wale behnoi, hehe

Haider Shah (Episode 1 onwards)

Rabya Rizwan as Iffat (Episode 1 onwards)

Shirin’s mother, strongly opposing Saifuddin’s decision to introduce Shirin in the showbiz world.

Master Ji

The dance master, paan ke shauqeen

Neha Khan

Nigah Ji

Agha Ali

Fauziya Mushtaq

Shaziya Qaisar
