Sajal Aly continues to shine in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, balancing emotional depth in her drama roles with style, advocacy, and evolving projects.
Her versatility as an actor is evident in her recent performances, where she seamlessly gets into characters with strong personalities.
Recent Drama Projects & Roles
- She starred in “Dil Wali Gali Mein,” a Ramadan special on Hum TV, written by Zafar Mairaj and directed by Kashif Nisar, playing the role of Khadija “Deeju” Adnan. The show explores themes of love, marriage, and family in a traditional neighborhood setup.
- Currently, Sajal is set to appear opposite Farhan Saeed in a new major TV serial titled Tu Jo Mila. The drama is particularly noteworthy because it represents the last scripted work of the late writer Saira Raza.
Her Presence & Statements Off-Screen
- Known for her thoughtfulness beyond acting, Sajal condemned violence against civilians, doing so via social media, stressing that targeting innocents is “cowardice, not strength.” Her messages resonated broadly with fans.
- In a public Q&A session, she also expressed her willingness to work again with actor Sheheryar Munawar but emphasized that she was waiting for “the right script.” She also spoke openly about mental health, advocating patience, seeking professional help when needed, and being kind to oneself during struggles.
Fashion & Public Image Highlights
Sajal’s style remains a topic of public admiration. She recently turned heads with a bold red ensemble by Meeral, showing her command of traditional fashion aesthetics (with sharara, chiffon details, and elegant accessories).
She also brought back an “Anarkali-era” look in a photoshoot, wearing a mustard-colored pishwas with a delicate headpiece, set against soft light—a look that fans called “timeless elegance.”
Background & Personal Reflection
Although she is celebrated today for her polished performances, Sajal has shared that acting was never a childhood ambition—she fell into it “accidentally” and never formally trained; yet, she credits early roles and mentoring by seniors for shaping her craft.
