Wahaj Ali joins Nusraat Faria at Dhaka fashion show

Pakistani actor Wahaj Ali, best known for playing Murtasim Khan in the hit drama Tere Bin, was spotted alongside Bangladeshi actress Nusraat Faria at a fashion presentation in Dhaka on October 3.

Wahaj travelled to Bangladesh to attend the closing programme of Emira: The Wedding Chapter, a two-day wedding and lifestyle exhibition held at the United Convention Centre in Dhaka on October 2 and 3. He had announced his visit in a video message, saying he was looking forward to meeting his Bangladeshi fans, while organisers described him as a personal guest at the event.

During the event, Wahaj and Faria appeared together at one of the fashion presentations. Faria later shared photographs of the two on Facebook, saying she had walked in a Jamdani-inspired outfit and was happy to represent the country’s heritage.

Faria wore a deep purple strapless lehenga-choli featuring Jamdani motifs, paired with a tikli, statement necklace, jhumkas and gold bangles. Wahaj opted for a dark blue formal suit with a matching shirt.

Photographs of the two actors quickly circulated on social media, generating considerable interest among fans, particularly because of Wahaj’s popularity in Bangladesh following the success of ‘Tere Bin’.

The drama, which premiered in 2022, starred Wahaj opposite Yumna Zaidi and became popular beyond Pakistan, including among audiences in Bangladesh and India. Wahaj’s portrayal of Murtasim Khan established him as one of the more recognisable Pakistani television actors among South Asian viewers.

Wahaj began his television acting career as a lead in Ishq Ibadat in 2015. He later appeared in dramas including Dil Nawaz, Fitoor and Ishq Jalebi. He also portrayed Bangladeshi freedom fighter Shafi Imam Rumi in the 2021 historical drama Jo Bichar Gaye.
