In the face of mixed reviews and reactions from viewers, Maya Ali has defended her performance in ‘Sunn Mere Dil’, a drama that explores how love finds a new meaning, where one person’s devotion quietly flourishes, often unnoticed. Directed by Haseeb Hasan, ‘Sunn Mere Dil’ was highly anticipated and received substantial media attention before its release. However, upon debut, it garnered mixed reviews, with majorly criticizing Maya’s character (Sadaf), while others felt the storyline fell short of expectations.
Maya pairs up with Wahaj Ali in an enterprise written by Khalil ur Rehman Qamar. The storyline centers around a wealthy businessman, Bilal, who falls for Sadaf, a woman with a more modest financial background. Recently, Maya posted some shots from ‘Sunn Mere Dil’ on Instagram. While most comments were filled with heart emojis, a handful of followers criticized Maya’s acting overall, with some specifically questioning her pairing with Wahaj.
“At first, I don’t get her character and acting,” wrote one follower on the actor’s Instagram handle. “I tolerate this drama because I am jobless.” Not one to hold back, Maya fired back, “My dear, no one is forcing you to watch it. #Peace.”
“No offense, [but] zero acting, bad casting opposite Wahaj Ali, please replace her, she looks aged.” Maya may or may not have taken offense at either comment, but the star had one of her own up her sleeve: “Next time, we will consult you about the casting process,” she assured her followers.
Another user wrote, “Yesterday’s episode was a cringe-fest,” shared one viewer. “Don’t care about the acting if this is what you serve the audience.”
Maya’s willingness to take on roles that challenge her craft is a testament to her dedication as an artist. For Aly,‘Sunn Mere Dil’ is a significant project in her career, one that allows her to stretch her limits and bring an underrepresented story to the screen.
