The lead couples in every project have a role in making or breaking a project. In the recent past, many dramas have become hits due to the chemistry of the on-screen couples when their stories were basic and predictable.

'Tere Bin', 'Mere Humsafar', and 'Ishq Murshid' are all dramas that became superhits due to the on-screen couples starring in them.

But not every pairing looks good on TV. Many times actors look miscast in their roles and do not look appealing to the audience for various reasons.

Here is a list of on-screen couples from recent dramas that just did not make any sense:

Noor & Murad From Noor Jahan

Worst On-Screen Couples In Recent Pakistani Dramas

Noor Jahan is a new drama on ARY Digital with the plot being relatable for many. Though it revolves majorly around the politics of mother in law and daughters-in-law, the men of Noor Jahan are equally important for the story. Kubra Khan is playing Noor Bano who is the protagonist while Ali Raza is playing Murad opposite her. They are doing well as per their characters but they do not look gelled in as a couple when they are on screens as a couple. They seem to be friends or cousins rather than a newly married couple madly in love with each other.

Munna & Zarnab From Gentleman

Worst On-Screen Couples In Recent Pakistani Dramas

Gentleman brought a unique story to our television screens and the audience witnessed a new on-screen couple with Humayun Saeed and Yumna Zaidi coming together as Munna Iqbal and Zarnab. Munna and Zarnab are both interesting characters individually but there is no chemistry when they come together. They look more like colleagues on screen. Yumna has done a great job with Wahaj and Bilal Abbas Khan while Humayun has the ability to even romance a tree but this time it is just not working.

Zaid & Ayra From Mein

Worst On-Screen Couples In Recent Pakistani Dramas

Mein has the whole plot revolving around the thunderous love that both Zaid and Ayra were supposed to have. Played by Wahaj Ali and Azekah Daniel, Zaid and Ayra never really showed the love and chemistry that was being pushed on the audience. They looked out of place when they were around each other and many times they hated each other more than they hated the antagonists. With the plot being the duo destroying themselves for love, this on-screen couple showcased zero chemistry and was boring to watch. Surprisingly, both Zaid and Ayra had better chemistry with Mubashira Jaffar.

Zain & Emaan From Radd

Worst On-Screen Couples In Recent Pakistani Dramas

Radd is doing great as per TRP charts and viewership, thanks to Sheheryar Munawar and Hiba Bukhari’s chemistry. But the basic plot of this drama somewhat depends upon that forgotten and unrequited love that Zain and Eman had, the characters played by Arsalan Naseer and Hiba Bukhari respectively. The problem lies in the fact that there is not a lot of chemistry there and how the characters are constructed, it is unbelievable that Emaan fell for Zain and not Salaar in the first place. The chemistry at least should have looked like what we saw with Hiba Bukhari and Wahaj Ali in Fitoor as that would make this drama more interesting.

Dilsher & Sitara From Akhara

Worst On-Screen Couples In Recent Pakistani Dramas

Akhara was a unique drama with an action-packed story. The drama had one of the most impactful transformations of the actors involved as well as the best turning point for a story in recent dramas. Feroze Khan really looked like a fighter in the drama and the story was great overall but the chemistry between leads Feroze and Sonya was simply lacking. They looked like they were not interested in each other while the story needed to show the passion between the two.

Faiz & Hareem From Khumar

Worst On-Screen Couples In Recent Pakistani Dramas

Feroze Khan made a comeback on television after a huge controversy in his personal life. He played the soft-spoken Faiz in the drama Khumar. His leading lady was Neelam Muneer who played the character of Hareem. The drama was supposed to be a lovey-dovey story with misunderstandings creeping in but the leading duo just did not look right together. Neelam and Feroze were misfits as Faiz and Hareem and that remained true till the very last episode.

Salaar & Wadima from Teri Chhaon Mein

Worst On-Screen Couples In Recent Pakistani Dramas

Danish Taimoor came in his signature romantic hero look opposite the newcomer Laiba Khurram. They both fell in love with each other, youngsters Salaar and Wadima who fled from their houses to get married as Wadima’s father is evil. Wadima looks so much younger than Salaar in the drama and the pairing does not look nice at all. Danish is trying to bring on his charm but the scenes end up looking forced most of the time.

Shabrez & Mehar From Rah e Junoon

Worst On-Screen Couples In Recent Pakistani Dramas

Danish Taimoor and Komal Meer came together as two passionate lovers in Rah e Junoon. Shabrez was ready to eliminate anything and anyone to get to his Mehar. Mehar on the other hand kept getting hot and cold throughout the series. Once again the problem lies in how these two looked on the screens. Komal looked way younger than Danish and that alone was enough to kill the chemistry. This was yet again another pairing that just did not work and a different casting could have made the drama look better.
