Shahzad Nawaz is a popular television actor who began his career as an advertising expert . He is currently known for hit dramas like Parizaad, Badshah Begum, Mein and Shanas. Nowadays, he is garnering praise for his performances in Ghulam Bashah Sundri, Humrahi and Dr Bahu.

Shahzad Nawaz mostly worked behind the scenes and discovered his acting talent at a relatively late age, in his fifties. After a successful portrayal as a wealthy father in the drama series Mein, he began receiving similar roles one after another and is currently appearing in three top Pakistani dramas: Ghulam Bashah Sundri, Humrahi, and Dr. Bahu. In all three dramas, he is portraying a character similar to his role in Mein, where he played an arrogant, wealthy father of an affluent son, Zaid.

All his recent projects show him as a selfish, influential father of spoiled children who often have conflicts with him. Here are his looks from all the dramas.

Netizens and drama viewers are not happy with his repeated television appearances two to three times per week, with many calling it monotonous on screen. One wrote, “This uncle has the same acting and getup in every drama, like Saba Hameed and Rubina Ashraf.” Another said, “At least change WiFi,” while a viewer taunted, “He has the same beard, same voice with the same base, and that same cigar in every other drama.” Another stated, “Exactly… don’t get the hype about him. He is a misfit for drama and bahu roles. At least he should change his appearance; if he can’t change his acting, he should change his look.” One said he may be charging less, which is why he is offered every other drama. Another fan said they don’t watch his dramas because he is an overactor. A viewer wrote, “In the Pakistani drama industry, we make every incapable man a star.”

Muamma is a popular Hum TV prime-time drama series directed by Shaqielle Khan and written by Imran Nazir. It is produced by Momina Duraid Productions. The drama features Saba Qamar in an intense and shady character, Jiji—a revengeful woman who seduces charming male tenants and leaves them after destroying their homes. The cast also includes other talented actors like Ali Ansari, Anoushay Abbasi, Shahzad Sheikh, Sidra Niazi, and Nabeel Zuberi.

Hum TV has finally aired the finale episode of this much-talked-about drama series today. In the last episode of Muamma, Jahan Aara was killed by her ex-husband Sarmad, who reached the venue after Sarfaraz conspired against her sister. Shahjahan (the tenant) returned the house keys to the watchman and left Jiji’s house.

Fans are disappointed with Jiji’s miserable ending. Many are saying that the drama was top-notch, but the ending fell flat. Many even said that the drama lost the plot. A fan wrote, “What an unexpected and awful ending, Jahan Aara has only suffered all her life” Another said, “Why Jahan Aara was killed, she could have lived as an independent single woman, it is a useless ending.” One viewer wrote, “They have ruined the drama; they wasted our time. It was a bad show. Jahan Aara didn’t deserve this, I feel sad for her” while one fan said, “I cried so much while watching Jahan Aara’s death.” A fan wrote, “Sarmad met his fate but they should have also shown Sarfaraz’s ending too” However, fans praised Saba Qamar’s phenomenal acting as Jahan Aara. One fan wrote, “Saba Qamar deserves an award for her performance for Muamma”
