Young Pakistani actor Shees Sajjad Gul, who played the role of Rumi in the popular drama Mere Paas Tum Ho, has shared his honest opinion about the widely celebrated show.
In a candid interview, the former child star revealed that he personally did not enjoy the drama as much as many viewers did. According to Shees, the series felt somewhat generic and received more hype than it deserved.
“It was a generic drama and it got a bit too overhyped,” he said while reflecting on the project that brought him nationwide recognition.
Shees also admitted that his role did not require much acting effort at the time. He explained that he mostly memorized his lines and delivered them, adding that he even considered himself “overhyped” because of the immense attention he received after the drama aired.
Despite his modest remarks, the character of Rumi played a significant role in the storyline, and the narrative of the show could not have progressed without him. The young actor quickly became a household name after the drama’s success and gained immense popularity among viewers.
Over the years, Shees Sajjad Gul has grown up and developed his own perspective about the entertainment industry and the projects he has been part of.
Released in 2019, Mere Paas Tum Ho became one of Pakistan’s most talked-about television dramas. The series starred Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan, and Adnan Siddiqui in lead roles. The storyline revolved around themes of relationships, betrayal, and emotional consequences, which resonated with audiences both in Pakistan and abroad.
The drama achieved massive viewership and remains a memorable project in Pakistan’s television history, while Shees Sajjad Gul’s portrayal of Rumi continues to be remembered by fans.
