Fans are still reeling at Sajal Aly’s death in ‘Ishq-e-Laa.’

With the death of Shanaya (Sajal Aly’s character) in the most recent episode, the storey took a devastating turn. Pakistani Twitter is lamenting the loss of the ‘life of the programme,’ while criticising Khan’s acting abilities as Azlan.

Aly’s amazing acting abilities astonished the crowd, who were shocked by Shanaya’s death. So much so that her portrayal of Shanaya will be remembered for years to come by her fans.

We need more Shanayas

The Khel Khel Mein star’s remarkable performance has sparked much praise on Twitter. The majority of people liked her outspoken and independent personality. Aly’s grip on her persona served as a “inspiration for young girls juggling family and work goals.”

Shanaya deserved better

Twitter users were quick to point out that Azka’s (Yumna Zaidi’s) character, who is known for crying at the smallest discomfort, showed no emotion when Shanaya died. They felt that a character that was so motivating and well-liked should have gotten a more “authentic-looking” response.

Sorry but this scene made me so pissed I swear…Poor Shanaya lost her FREAKING LIFE for them and they couldn't even show genuine sympathy for her…They were just shocked…I was expecting them Atleast to cry a lil…
🥺💔😞

Shanaya deserved a better death tbh, not that well written, Azlaan acting….. Azka's reaction was so meh i was expecting a good breakdown.
The death seemed rushed they could build up a lil bit more but okay regardless that Character was the only light in the show

Azlan failed to deliver

While the singer was initially praised for his acting abilities, this episode proved to be a disappointment for him. Khan’s acting, particularly in the most recent episode, has enraged a slew of fans, who have dubbed his casting “nepotism.” Netizens believe his lacklustre performance made a pivotal scene “cringe-worthy.” Khan, according to many critics, didn’t do justice to a character who had recently lost his wife.

This is what nepotism can do, ruin the whole experience of a show. These scenes were supposed to cause goosebumps, yet I had to skip through them to avoid the cringe acting. Azlan seems more like a spoiled brat than someone who is grieving his wife's death. #Ishqelaa pic.twitter.com/RvuyNgov6t

Another user felt that “what could’ve been a goosebump act” felt like a normal scene.
