Rising Gen Z star Samar Jafri continues to earn recognition not only for his talent but also for his professionalism and work ethic. Known for his strong performances in television dramas, Samar gained widespread popularity through Mayi Ri and Parwarish, where his acting resonated strongly with viewers.
Samar received particular acclaim for his portrayal of Fakihir in Mayi Ri. He has also appeared in dramas such as Hum Dono and Na Baligh Afraad, steadily building his profile as both an actor and a singer. His on-screen presence and off-screen conduct have drawn praise from senior colleagues in the industry.
Recently, actress and host Maya Khan spoke highly of Samar Jafri during her appearance on talk show Gup Shab, hosted by Vasay Chaudhary. While discussing young actors, she highlighted Samar’s patience, dedication, and quiet perseverance.
Maya Khan said that among Gen Z actors, Samar stands out for the depth of his struggle. She described him as one of her favourite young performers and shared that she has closely observed his journey on set. According to her, Samar’s ability to remain calm, patient, and focused has been inspiring, even teaching her the value of silence and trust in divine timing.
She also reflected on the differences between her generation and today’s emerging stars.

She explained that actors of her generation underwent extensive training to perfect diction, pronunciation, expressions, and overall performance before gaining recognition.
