Sajal Aly’s name is synonymous with acting skills that are par excellence. A girl who keeps low profile and lets her performance do all the taking, can take on any role that comes her way and simply breathe magic into it.
She is noted for playing a variety of characters in a range of serials-from contemporary social to romantic dramas.
Sajal Aly’s first appearance on screen was a minor role in one episode of the 2009 Geo TV’s comedy drama ‘Nadaaniyaan’. She received praise for her breakout role in the 2011 ARY Digital’s family drama ‘Mehmoodabad Ki Malkain’.
Subsequently, she rose to prominence for portraying leading roles in several of the successful television series, including the comedy ‘Mohabbat Jaye Bhar Mein’, the romances ‘Sitamgar’ and ‘Meri Ladli’, the family comedy ‘Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah’ (which by the way was a national hit) and the drama ‘Gul-e-Rana’.
Some of the most noteworthy awards that Aly has won include Hum Awards, Lux Style Awards, Pakistan Media Awards, Galaxy Lollywood Awards and Nigar Awards
Her performance in the teen drama ‘Nanhi’, the psychological ‘Sannata’, the revenge drama ‘Chup Raho’ and the spiritual romance ‘Khuda Dekh Raha Hai’, earned her widespread recognition as well as the Lux Style Award for Best Actress nominations.
Aly garnered critical acclaim for portraying a troubled child in the telefilm ‘Behadd’ and an aspiring actress in the relationship drama ‘Zindagi Kitni Haseen Hai’, her first feature film.
Aly made her Bollywood film debut starring opposite Sridevi in the 2017 Bollywood film ‘Mom’.
Aly also sang the theme song for the series ‘O Rangreza’, in which she plays the character Sassi. The actress sang a rendition for her show ‘O Rangreza’ which also features rising star Bilal Abbas Khan, and to be honest, it’s surpassed our expectations.
The Gul-e-Rana star surprised us with her melodious vocals and we’re hoping she delves further into singing. The acoustic rendition of the song is soulful and would most certainly make you a fan.
The young actress maintained laudable calm and composure when her mother passed away last year due to cancer. After taking a brief hiatus from acting, she jumped back, stronger than ever and won awards and laurels for her work.
