Sheheryar Munawar Gives Witty Reply Over Umer Alam
Sheheryar Responds Humorously to Question About Umer Alam’s Casting
LAHORE: (Showbiz Desk) – Pakistani actor Sheheryar Munawar has amused fans with a witty response to a social media user who questioned why actor Umer Alam was not cast as Abu Bakar in the popular drama Dare Nijat.
A comment recently surfaced on social media asking Sheheryar why Umer Alam was not chosen for the role, which Sheheryar currently plays in the drama.
Responding in his trademark light-hearted style, Sheheryar jokingly attributed the casting decision to Umer Alam’s “dates issue”, referring to the actor’s busy schedule.
The actor then added a more personal message to make it clear that there were no hard feelings. “On a serious note, I love him and Inshallah soon,” Sheheryar wrote, suggesting that he would welcome the opportunity to work with Umer Alam on a future project.
The exchange quickly attracted attention online, offering viewers a lighter glimpse of Sheheryar’s personality away from the emotionally intense storyline of Dare Nijat.
In the drama, Sheheryar portrays Abu Bakar, a Harvard-educated executive engineer whose character is presented as thoughtful, principled and deeply connected to faith and family values.
His character remains central to the drama’s emotional storyline, particularly as his relationship with Zaryab becomes increasingly complicated by personal conflicts, past connections and circumstances.
Durefishan Saleem plays Zaryab, a vibrant young woman whose life is strongly influenced by her deep attachment to her childhood friend. Nameer Nawaz Khan portrays Zamil, an ambitious figure from Zaryab’s past whose jealousy and insecurities create additional tension around Abu Bakar.
Sania Saeed appears as Khushbakht, Abu Bakar’s devoted and wise mother, while Saba Hameed plays Kishwar Jahan, Zaryab’s grandmother, who considers Abu Bakar an ideal match for her granddaughter.
Written by acclaimed novelist Umera Ahmed, Dare Nijat explores emotional struggles, relationships, spiritual reflection and the possibility of redemption.
The drama has sparked considerable discussion among viewers because of its layered characters and emotionally charged plot, with the evolving relationships continuing to generate speculation across social media.
Sheheryar’s playful response to the casting question has now added a lighter moment to the growing online buzz surrounding the drama.
