(Web Desk) - Actor Sajal Ali has supported her Zanjeerain co-star Anayah Shahid after the young actor received criticism for her character in the drama.
Sajal shared Anayah’s Instagram story, where Anayah asked viewers to remember that TV dramas are fictional and actors only perform the roles they are given. She said people should not judge or insult her because of her character, Shireen’s actions.
In her post, Anayah thanked those who were criticising her and jokingly said that if her character had made people so emotional, then she must have acted well.
She ended her message by calling herself “the employee of the script,” reminding everyone that she was simply following the story.
Sajal praised Anayah’s message, calling it a “nuanced and powerful expression.” She also agreed that strong reactions from viewers often show that an actor has done a convincing job, not that they are like the character they play.
Many fans also supported Anayah and appreciated her performance as Shireen. They said the criticism proved she had played the role very well.
Anayah’s performance in Zanjeerain has received widespread praise and has made her one of the drama’s most talked-about actors.
