Indian television personality and social media star Urfi Javed has praised Pakistani actor Sheheryar Munawar while recalling a pleasant meeting with him in Dubai several years ago.
Urfi recently shared a fan-edited video of Munawar’s performance in ARY Digital’s drama Darr-e-Najat, praising his portrayal of the character Abubakar.
Sharing the video on social media, Urfi described Munawar’s performance as impressive and praised the connection between his personality and the character he plays in the drama.
Urfi Recalls Meeting Sheheryar in Dubai
In a video reel, Urfi revealed that she met Munawar several years ago while both were staying at the same hotel in Dubai for the Filmfare Middle East Awards.
She recalled that she was not very popular at the time but approached the Pakistani actor and asked for a photograph.
According to Urfi, Munawar spent around 10 to 15 minutes talking with her and was extremely polite and courteous during their interaction.
She said that even a small act of kindness can leave a lasting impression on people.
Darr-e-Najat Gains Popularity Beyond Pakistan
Urfi also expressed her admiration for Darr-e-Najat, which has reportedly attracted audiences not only in Pakistan but also in Bangladesh, Nepal and particularly India.
The drama features Sheheryar Munawar alongside Dur-e-Fishan Saleem, Sehar Hashmi, Romaisa Khan, Saniya Saeed and Saba Hameed.
Produced by Three’s Entertainment, the drama is written by Umera Ahmed and directed by Saqib Khan. It airs on ARY Digital every Friday and Saturday at 8pm.
Urfi is not the first Indian celebrity to praise a Pakistani drama. Actress and television host Shehnaaz Gill has previously expressed her appreciation for the Pakistani drama Meri Zindagi Hai Tu, starring Bilal Abbas and Hania Aamir.
