Pakistani actor Zahid Ahmed is incredibly underrated.

He’s also allegedly set to topline the first Pakistani production for Netflix, along with his upcoming drama ‘Pukaar’ with Yumna Zaidi.
He started off working in an I.T. company that turned out to be fraudulent, began endlessly job hunting as funds soaked dry. With a crumbling marriage and no prospects, Zahid was stuck

Zahid was critically acclaimed as Jinnah and began theater, however, the producer of the drama never paid him and after what seemed like a final moment of relief, the once ‘Jinnah’ was once again left drowning
It was only after a representative from Hum Television Network called the actor for an audition when Zahid was at long last saved. He was selected for drama ‘Mehram’ after a successful audition, costarring Ayesha Khan and Moammar Rana.

His next gig was another negative role, with a venerated ensemble cast of Saba Qamar and Mikaal Zulfiqar in drama ‘Sangat’

Throughout his troubles, his wife Amna never left his side, and both stood the test of time together
‘Besharam’ was another phenomenal feather in Zahid’s cap, and showcased him as a terrific actor with exuberant versatility and tapping into his plethora of talent
He played a determined aspiring politician who collides with Saba, a rising model. The drama brought forth two very different w, and crafted them into one, albeit catastrophic but heartfelt spherical mold.
