Veteran Pakistani actor Aijaz Aslam has left fans emotional after sharing a heartfelt BTS video from the final day of filming Fanaa, featuring his co-star Shaista Lodhi.
Taking to Instagram, Aijaz shared a BTS video captured moments after the director called "cut" on the drama's final scene. The clip shows the actor visibly emotional and in tears as the production crew applauds both him and Shaista Lodhi for their performance, capturing the touching atmosphere on set as filming came to an end.
Along with the video, Aijaz reflected on the deep connection he developed with his character, Gul Hayat Khan, and shared what filming the emotional climax alongside Shaista Lodhi meant to him. Describing the experience, he wrote:
"The last scene. The last breath of Gul Hayat, a character who lived loud and fierce, and left the world in the arms of the woman he loved. Watch the raw, unfiltered moment right after we called cut: applause, tears, and a set full of people who felt every second of it. This is what makes acting worth it."
His heartfelt message reflected the strong bond he had formed with the character and the emotions that came with saying goodbye to Gul Hayat Khan after bringing his journey to life on screen.
Produced by TNI Entertainment for Green Entertainment, Fanaa centres on family politics, feudal traditions, and the consequences of unchecked power.
The story follows Gul Hayat Khan, portrayed by Aijaz Aslam, a powerful feudal landlord whose obsession with having a male heir drives much of the narrative. Shaista Lodhi plays his first wife, Saamina, whose quiet resilience and emotional struggles become one of the drama's central storylines.
Written by Muhammad Qurban Ali Rao, the drama also explores the realities of the tribal jirga system and the destructive consequences of pride, power, and personal ambition.
The drama also features Shahzad Sheikh and Nazish Jahangir in prominent roles. As the story unfolds, several characters challenge the long-standing feudal system, leading to an emotional and dramatic conclusion. Throughout its run, Fanaa generated widespread discussion on social media, with viewers praising its performances, storytelling, and emotional depth.
The emotional post quickly caught fans' attention, offering a rare glimpse into the heartfelt moments shared by the cast and crew after completing one of the drama's most powerful scenes.
