The protagonist Saboor Aly, plays out her role of the rape survivor with pinpoint accuracy, combating the judgement and frustration Dua has to face in this unjust society. As an extremely versatile actress, Saboor Aly deserves to be praised for the role she is currently playing in Naqab Zun.
A sensitive role like this might be considered risky, since it’s a societal taboo that you touch upon and playing such a daring role as that of a rape victim requires guts and courage, which Saboor Aly has exhibited spotlessly. The way she unveils the harshness of life perpetrated by an unforgiving society, towards a person who goes through this trauma, is notable.
Naqab Zun is without a doubt paving its way to become another superhit by Momina Duraid Productions. The cast and the directors definitely put out plenty of efforts to bring about this outcome. In addition, the treatment of rape victims in our society, their struggles and difficulties, are depicted in the most fitting manner, and Saboor Aly’s talented performance has elevated this serial to new heights.
