Ruling the 7pm slot on television screens this month is ARY Digital’s ‘Baby Baji’, the drama based on family dynamics explores the various relationships in a joint family and how they are interlinked to each other. The storyline is highly relatable to the average Pakistani household who still continue to live in a joint family setup. Baby Baji features veteran actress Samina Ahmed as Baby Baji herself and Saud Qasmi, Javeria Saud, Hassan Ahmed, Sunita Marshal, Tuba Anwar, Junaid Jamshed Niazi, and Aina Asif. The drama is produced under the banner of iDreams Entertainment, and is written by Mansoor Ahmed Khan and directed by Tehseen Khan.
The different characters in Baby Baji have us hooked to the show, Samina Ahmed’s Baby Baji is the head of the household alongside her husband and the story revolves around their family of four sons out of which two are already married while the third son Wasif is all set to be married off soon.
While there is no major anatagonist in the drama and the story touches on normal everyday issues and conflicts that arise in a joint family household, Azra Bhabhi played by the feisty Javeria Saud is one of the cutest villains we’ve ever seen on television. You can never get enough of her funny tantrums and antics and she is truly the life of the show! Hassan Ahmed playing Baby Baji’s second son Naseer portrays quite the graycharacter and is the least likeable in the show. Not only is he rude and violent towards his on-screen wife Asma played by the dusky queen Sunita Marshall, but we’ve never seen Hassan Ahmed smiling in any episode, truly giving off the grim reaper vibe.
Let’s take a look at what’s been happening on Baby Baji:
