Imran Ashraf and Zoha Tauqeer’s New Drama Pairing Faces Social Media Criticism

Pakistani television actors Imran Ashraf and Zoha Tauqeer are preparing to appear together on screen for the first time, but their upcoming project has already become a topic of discussion among drama viewers.

The new GEO TV drama is currently being filmed and features Imran Ashraf in the lead role opposite Zoha Tauqeer. The project is being produced by 7th Sky Entertainment and directed by Ahmed Bhatti, while Imran Ashraf has also written the drama.

The series is reportedly carrying the tentative title Jang e Ishq.

Imran Ashraf and Zoha Tauqeer Set to Share the Screen

Imran Ashraf remains one of Pakistan’s best-known television actors, having earned recognition through popular dramas including Ranjha Ranjha Kardi, Raqs E Bismil, Mushk, Dil Lagi, Dil Mom Ka Diya, and Chaudhry and Sons.

Zoha Tauqeer, meanwhile, has been building her profile with notable performances since her debut in Aapa Shamim. She has also received appreciation for her work in dramas such as Chaalbaz and Zabt.

Their upcoming collaboration marks a new pairing for both actors, with Imran taking on multiple creative responsibilities as writer and lead actor.

Casting Becomes a Talking Point Online

While the drama has yet to premiere, its casting has already generated debate on social media. Some viewers questioned whether the on-screen pairing between Imran Ashraf and Zoha Tauqeer would feel convincing.

A number of comments focused on the perceived age difference between the two actors. One social media user suggested that Zoha appears very young alongside Imran, while another questioned the casting decision and compared it with similar pairings seen in Pakistani television.

Some viewers even wondered whether Imran’s character might be playing a father figure rather than a romantic lead.

Others felt that Zoha Tauqeer could have stronger on-screen chemistry with an actor closer to her age.

Drama Title Also Gets Attention

The tentative title Jang e Ishq has also attracted comments from viewers. Some social media users expressed frustration over what they see as the frequent use of the word “Ishq” in Pakistani drama titles.

Despite the early criticism, the drama is still in production, meaning audiences have not yet seen the characters, storyline, or performances in their final form.

For now, the conversation surrounding Imran Ashraf and Zoha Tauqeer highlights how closely Pakistani drama casting is scrutinized even before a new project reaches television screens. Whether the pairing ultimately wins viewers over will become clearer once the drama premieres.
