Sarah Khan Wasn’t the Original Choice for Sher

Sher is a popular Pakistani drama series currently airing on ARY Digital every Wednesday and Thursday at 8:00 PM. The show features a star-studded cast, including Sarah Khan, Danish Taimoor, Arjumand Rahim, Sunita Marshall, Nabeel Zafar, and Atiqa Odho. Written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Aehsun Talish, Sher has quickly become a fan favorite and is presently the most-watched Pakistani drama on YouTube. Viewers are especially enjoying the on-screen chemistry between Sarah Khan and Danish Taimoor, praising the duo’s compelling performances.


Sehar Hashmi shared on Fuchsia Magazine’s YouTube show that Sarah Khan wasn’t the original choice for the role of Dr. Fajar, even though she turned out to be a perfect fit for the character.

During her interview with Fuchsia Magazine, Sehar Hashmi opened up about nearly being cast in Sher. She revealed that for over a year, there had been talks about pairing her with Danish Taimoor. “I was initially considered for Sher. They reached out, and I even had a meeting with the director,” she said. However, due to certain external pressures and concerns about taking a chance on a newcomer, the opportunity didn’t move forward. Sehar explained that producers often hesitate to cast new faces because of the financial risks involved. Eventually, she found her breakthrough when she joined 7th Sky. There, producer Marry Baji and director Ali Faizan believed she was the right fit for the role of Riya — which led to her casting in Mann Mast Malang.
