Wahaj Ali, as we have gathered up to episode 3 of the drama, plays the role of Roomi. The character is based on the real life freedom (for Bangladesh)/ guerilla fighter (for Pakistan) who is a member of Awaami League and is a strong advocate for the rights of the people of East Pakistan.

She captioned the post, “Acting is all about action and reaction. Wajju @wahaj.official this wasn’t possible without your support and your brilliant performance.”

Maya Ali wasn’t the only co-star who appreciated Wahaj Ali on his acting. Nadia Jamil, who made her acting comeback after a prolonged illness, also took to social media to praise her co-star and shared a story that included a picture of Wahaj Ali with the caption, “An actor growing from strength to strength, and with his politics in the right place!”

Wahaj Ali and his performance in Jo Bichar Gaye has also been praised by Yumna Zaidi who shared the screen with Ali in Dil Na Umeed Tou Nahi. As a comment on one of his pictures, she wrote, “Totally loving Jo Bichar Gaye, you are a true artist. So happy to see your range in this show as well.”
