Pakistani showbiz had a genuinely wholesome moment when Maya Ali took to Instagram to wish her Sunn Mere Dil co-star Wahaj Ali a heartfelt birthday.
In her Instagram story, the Mann Mayal star adorned a stylish snap of Wahaj with a caption that read: “Happy wala birthday jiggar! So grateful to have you in my life. I pray ALLAH blesses you with endless happiness and success today, tomorrow and forever Ameen…”
The affectionate word “jiggar” is a rather intimate term of endearment that roughly translates to “my heart” or “my dear”, and her choice of words depicts the easy camaraderie between the pair.
Fans have always shipped the duo together and were quick to point out that their on-screen pairing in Sunn Meray Dil carried over off-camera, where playful banter and mutual support appear to be the norm rather than the exception.
Ever since then, many viewers have been delighted to see a slice of genuine friendship away from scripted scenes, as the duo has been spotted multiple times together; Wahaj Ali also performed with the Diyar-e-Dil actress at her brother’s wedding.
Maya and Wahaj’s rapport is the kind of chemistry that fuels both successful TV pairings and social-media headlines. Their professional alliance in Sunn Meray Dil showcased chemistry and nuance; their off-screen exchanges, like this warm birthday shoutout, give fans a reason to root for them even harder.
Maya Ali is one of Pakistan’s most loved actors, a performer who rose to prominence with memorable turns in hit projects. Her film credits include crowd-pleasers like Teefa in Trouble and Parey Hut Love, and she’s also known for powerful television work that has won her both critical praise and mainstream adoration.
Wahaj Ali, similarly, has carved out a reputation as a versatile actor who brings intensity and sensitivity to his roles — traits that have helped the Tere Bin actor become a fan favorite in recent years.
For now, the internet can bask in a bite-sized moment of celebrity sweetness: a playful “jiggar,” and a reminder that behind the glitz, friendships in showbiz can be quietly, beautifully real.
