This Eid-ul-Adha it was yet again about the ‘Battle of rom-com’, Parey Hut Love vs. Heer Maan Ja and the results so far pouring in suggests Maya Ali and PhL as the clear winners. The visual treat this film brings in for the moviegoers actually make those potholes in the script overlooked. Likewise, the superb performances from the entire cast including the female lead made audiences stick to their seats. Amidst all this, the Pakistani Actress Maya Ali despite a slow-start has shown the glimpses to standout as the next big thing in Pakistani Film Industry.

The innocent-faced, always up to reach the daunting summits seem focused about her Silver Screen career as that’s something which has kept her off-loaded from dramas. Just FYI, her last outing on TV screens were Sanam back in 2016.

This write-up lauds Maya Ali’s standings on leaderboard among a bunch of other actresses trying their luck to stand as the queen of the Pakistani film industry. She might not be one at the moment, but she seemed to have all those signs to evolve into what we call the top actress of the industry.

Here’s what makes Pakistani Film Actress Maya Ali worth-discussing

Finally, Maya proved her Versatility

It won’t be wrong to say that Maya was previously stuck with her same kind of roles in Pakistani dramas – crying-baby all the time. With her back-to-back strong performances on the silver screen and that too proving her versatility, Maya has knocked down her haters and critics with showing her another side in latest flick Parey Hut Love.  Just in case you’re curious to know, she plays a modernized girl, who got her upbringing in Turkey. Though her confidence and a bit of the flirt with Shehryar made her look outstanding in the film.

Long story short, you got to see a different Maya Ali in Teefa in Trouble; the one clad in westerner and not on the very same page with her family.

Maya supports Item Numbers – No Hypocrisy!

You must be sure about that as her solid performance in ‘Item Number’ song in Teefa in Trouble got popular for all the right reasons. But still, that wasn’t enough to put the long-going debate of item songs to rest.

She stays affirmative about her stance on item numbers and up the latest during PhL promotions, she valiantly supported them too. The point she had says songs are pure entertainment and it’s all up to you if you call one dance number as a wedding or party song – it still shines as a complete entertainer.

Maya is Brand Ambassador of PSL franchise Quetta Gladiators – Only Megastars

Undoubtedly, your silver screen success takes you to places. But Maya was a sort of megastar even before Teefa in Trouble made it to the cinemas. The one prime example is her place as the brand ambassador of PSL franchise Quetta Gladiators for twice in a row. She got that role where Fawad Khan, Mahira Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Momina Mustehsan and Fahad Mustafa were the counterparts – making it place for only A-listers.

Maya Ali has a story – Not an overnight Success!

Living in Pakistan means waking up every other day to see a new overnight sensation, which comes, conquers and then disappears. Apart from that nepotism persists in one way or other. But that’s not Pakistani actress Maya Ali’s cup of tea. She is one self-made celebrity and rather than bulging as an overnight success, she has quite some story, which makes her a real-life star.

Hailing from a non-filmy family, Maya did her Masters in Mass Communication and then like many of the students around she got her internship in a private channel. The urge to do big took her to another channel as a host and in case you guys remember her, she’s the Maya Ali we used to see as a host of show ‘Har Pakistani Mein Chupa Hai Ek Hero’ on Samaa TV, back in 2011. Sooner or later she realized she had that ‘X-factor’ to shine as an actress as well but being daughter from an orthodox family made her stand as a loner with no support from home.

Maya’s in Love with Dancing – Unlike many Pakistani Actresses!

The Pakistani actresses aren’t open to shaking a leg in films for one or other reason. And that’s why they just limit themselves to dramas. And when it comes to Maya Ali, she’s quite opposite to that. With seeing her dancing videos now and then it seems like she’d even start doing it on Wall’s ice-cream tone. Her dance in ‘Item Number’ song and now ‘Balma Bhagora’ in PhL tells how much she enjoys dancing.
