Sabeena Farooq delivers a winning performance depicting the vulnerable, matter of fact yet a very sensitive and deep side of Barbeena.
7. Ahmed Ali Akbar as Gulzar in Idiot
An impressive performance as Gulzar. There are moments where he is not screaming, or shouting or even saying anything, but using only his facial expressions & body language to communicate a certain feeling and he does it brilliantly.
8. Atiqa Odho as the grandmother in Idiot
Nice to see Atiqa Odho in a different role. She makes you like her immediately and has made the grandmother’s character a savior for the young boy in a heart-winning manner.

Who can deny the powerhouse of talent that is Sarmad Khoosat is. When we spot his name against the character’s name – Malik Hayat, we know it will be a watch-worthy character.
10. Rabia Butt as SHO Sabiha In Gunah
Love how Rabia Butt made the entire sequence of figuring out the truth and making sure to play along with Malik Hayat’s plan so interesting and uplifting. She portrayed Sabiha as someone with intelligence, deep feeling yet with a clear focus.
11. Wahaj Ali as Junaid in 22 Qadam
After watching Wahaj Ali in sober roles recently, it is indeed refreshing to see him as Junaid, where we see a mix of lighthearted & some serious moments. Wahaj performs these light moments with such heart winning ease that make one smile.
12. Hareem Farooq as Farheen in 22 Qadam
Hareem packs in the determined, witty, comic yet no nonsense role in an endearing manner. 2 episodes in and we’re already rooting for her dreams to come true!
