With her heart-wrenching performance as Pakeezah in Aik Aur Pakeezah, Sehar Khan has added another remarkable performance to her career. From the bubbly Rabi of Tan Man Neelo Neel to the ghostly Khushi of Jinn Ki Shadi Unki Shadi, Sehar has given her audience a variety of characters over the past year.

The latest episode of Aik Aur Pakeezah has earned her much praise as the heartbroken Pakeezah struggles to trust Faraz (Nameer Khan) as she attempts to rebuild her life. The resentment, fear and restlessness in her eyes as she relives her trauma every day, is what has stood out to the viewers of the drama serial.

Sehar owned Pakeezah, as she came on camera in bare skin to do justice to her character, which was uncommon in the Pakistani drama industry. Appreciating her being comfortable in her own skin, renowned actress Saba Qamar posted to Instagram and said:

Her performance has touched hearts as she brings Pakeezah to life, allowing people to feel the real sentiments of a victim of such a crime. In complete awe of Sehar, a user posted:
