Pakistani television actress Sajal Aly made a stunning comeback to the small screen with her new Ramzan special drama, Dil Wali Gali Mein. Sharing screen space with Hamza Sohail, the show has gone on to charm the audience with their spellbinding on-screen presence and interesting performances.
Industry reports indicate that Sajal Aly’s pay for every episode of Dil Wali Gali Mein ranges from PKR 60,000 to 1 lac. This figure is in line with her typical fee for TV work, further solidifying her status as one of the most paid actresses in the Pakistani television industry.
Created by Momina Duraid, the drama is based on the romantic life of a newlywed couple, Deeju and Mujji, as they face life’s highs and lows together. With its light-hearted plot and emotional depth, the show has emerged as a must-watch this Ramzan, appealing to audiences with its relatable themes and emotive moments. With Dil Wali Gali Mein gaining more popularity, Sajal Aly’s exceptional performance once again confirms her position as one of the best actresses in the television industry of Pakistan.
Earlier, the drama’s portrayal of domestic challenges has ignited debates on social media. Many viewers argue that joint family living creates an environment where a daughter-in-law often lacks privacy and basic rights, with even fundamental needs like a personal bathroom being disregarded.
Some criticize the mother-in-law dynamic, claiming that societal norms place unnecessary burdens on married women.
Others, however, feel that the show does not fully embrace the spiritual essence of Ramadan dramas, leaving them underwhelmed by its direction.
