They once gave us blockbusters for a lifetime and then went on a hiatus, saddening everyone alike. But thankfully, the hiatus was only temporary and now our television queens are back!
From Sanam Saeed to Mehwish Hayat and more, 2025 is giving us exactly what we wanted. Let’s take a look at these Pakistani comeback queens.
Sanam Saeed: Mein Manto Nhi Hoon
A powerhouse of talent, Sanam Saeed captured hearts in Zindagi Gulzar Hai and has since remained a symbol of strength and elegance. Her return isn’t just about acting, it’s about storytelling with depth and dignity. It’s clear that her performances still command attention.
Last seen in Deedan (2018), the actress seemed to be making waves even after 7 years with her currently broadcasting drama Main Manto Nahi Hoon, which the fans can’t get enough of. Seems like the comeback of a lifetime.
Mehwish Hayat: Dayan
Once the reigning queen of romantic comedies and TV hits, Mehwish Hayat took a step back from dramas in favour of films and activism.
The actress was last seen in Dil Lagi (2016), and now, her return signals something exciting: the blend of her cinematic flair with the emotional depth of television, with her latest drama named Dayan. For the good or the bad, the audience seems to be obsessed.
Aaminah Sheikh: Case No.9
Elegant, poised, and always deeply expressive, Aamina Sheikh’s comeback is one of the most anticipated. After a noticeable break from screen life, her return brings a breath of classic, nuanced performances that Pakistani drama was missing.
The actress was last seen in Nibah (2018), and her new drama Case No.9 seems to be just as Aaminah’s core as it can get.

Sarwat Ghilani: Biryani
Known for her versatility and fierce screen presence, Sarwat Gilani has long been a favorite among drama lovers. From intense character roles to socially conscious storytelling (as seen in her work with Churails), her comeback to mainstream TV is one fans have waited for because of how fierce and bold her choices are.
The actress was last seen in Naulakha in 2018, and it seems like Biryani will be devoured by the audience after waiting patiently for such a long time.
