Wahaj’s portrayal of Junaid has garnered widespread acclaim, with viewers lauding his convincing performance. His adept use of emotional depth, expressive range, and voice modulation has left a lasting impact, earning him praise as the standout aspect of the show.
LITERAL GOOSEBUMPS. Can’t believe he was also playing Basim when this was shot. The variation, his eyes, voice modulation, and the underlying emotions of Junaid before & after the accident are just staggering & well-captured by him.#WahajAli #22Qadam pic.twitter.com/582C0zl2eJ
