The Rumors.
Soon after the fans wanted to see this on-screen couple as an actual jodi in real life too. Ahad Raza Mir was asked about their relationship status in numerous interviews and in all these interviews he did not give any clear-cut answers. All he said was that he respected Sajal, she was a good friend and it was not nice that people were asking such questions especially because they were associating a girl’s name with him for no rea
Well, this surely won many hearts because of Ahad Raza Mir’s decent attitude but at the same time broke the hearts of those fans who were waiting to hear something different from Ahad and Sajal both. Sajal Aly was always extremely tight lipped about her relationship with Ahad and it was almost if she had asked the interviewers not to ask her this questions.
The Engagement Announcement.
Well, all these rumors were proven right when Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir quietly and out of nowhere announced their engagement which happened in Canada and which was a family affair. The couple shared a picture along with the announcement and some of the highlights of the functions were shared by Ahad Raza Mir’s mother on her insta story and that was about it. Unlike other popular celebrity couples Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly did not give interviews together after the engagement and strangely enough have never even talked about it in detail.
Too Cozy and Close On Screen.
All of this would mean that they are private individuals who would want to keep their relationship personal. But then we see Sajal and Ahad getting all cozy and a little too close in photo shoots, commercials and dramas even when such closeness is not needed. Ahad Raza Mir in several interviews has also shared that he is a shy person in real life. Iqra Aziz and Yasir Hussein are often tagged as ‘cheap’ for using their relationship as a publicity stunt and for not keeping their personal lives private. While unlike them Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir do not go around talking about their relationship in interviews and there was definitely not a public proposal at their part like was the case with Iqra and Yasir yet these two definitely have a tough time keeping their hands off of each other whether they are shooting for a commercial or drama.
Pakistani dramas are bold and it can safely be said that Pakistani dramas are no longer the family dramas which they used to be. Having said that it is seldom ever that we see the kind of closeness between leading pair which we do when Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir are starring together in a drama. This is rather odd for a couple who is otherwise so private.
Sajal Aly and Ahad Raza Mir’s Hugs in Dramas.
It won’t be wrong to say that it all started with Yakeen Ka Safar. It is a mystery whether Sajal and Ahad were already in love when Asfandyar and Zubia hugged each other in the hospital after Zubia attempted to take her own life. This scene was loved by the fans because they had been wanting to see this couple declare their love for each other for the longest time. This declaration came in the form of some dialogues and of course the hug! The viewers had no idea that such hugs and a certain kind of unnecessary closeness would be part of every single project Sajal and Ahad would be part of from here on.
While most Sahad fans are more than happy with watching their favorite jodi comfortable on-screen, there are many others who felt that Ahad and Sajal were cashing in on their relationship with each other by putting the physical closeness between them on display for the satisfaction of their fans.
Aangan was another drama serial starring Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Aly in the leading roles. The kind of physical closeness between them in this particular drama was the most unnecessary and awkward. Chammi and Jamil’s flirtation and their entire relationship always came across as more physical than anything else. This was another drama in which the makers as well as the stars involved banked on this certain aspect because they knew that there are a vast majority of fans who like such closeness between them and think it is sweet.
