Back in the days, when we had to gauge an actor’s likeability or fame, we would consider the number of successful plays he/she did or the awards he/she received. With nearly everything else, the criteria for fame has also changed. These days which actress is doing the rounds and is successful is assessed by her social media followers. Recently, when an actress received an award for most followed celebrity on social media by a private channel, it was surprising since she has not been on screen for more than a year now. But then, it’s not about being on-screen all the time but about winning hearts of the people. This week You! compiled a list of female actresses who were most followed on social media this year. It is important to mention that this by no means is the list of best female actresses of Pakistan but is about their online presence.
Aiman Khan – 7.6 million
Also known as Aiman Muneeb post-marriage, Aiman is the most followed social media celebrity. Even though she has not returned to acting after she became a mom, yet, people love her and want to know what’s happening in her life.
This young actress has given us some memorable plays and was one of the most sought after actresses before she got married to fellow actor, Muneeb Butt. In fact, their wedding was a huge social media event as well.
With such a fan base, Aiman Khan proved that if you have won hearts, then even taking a break would not diminish your position.
Ayeza Khan – 7.5 million
Very close to Aiman Khan, stands Ayeza Khan who was the talk of the town recently for her play Mere Pass Tum Ho. She has been in the industry for long and time and again proved her acting skills by playing diverse characters. However, it’s not just the roles; her social media is as diverse and exciting.
Taking a look at her Instagram, you will realise she is a cool mom, gorgeous model and a talented actress. No wonder, she is in close competition for the top spot when it comes to social media presence.
Sajal Aly has been known for intense acting. Be it O Rangreza or Yeh Dil Mera, Yaqeen Ka Safar or Chup Raho, she brings life to any character she plays. Yeh Dil Mera was her last play that ended earlier this year and since then she has been off-screen. But her fans just can’t get enough of her and want to stay updated about her through social media.
Although, she is enjoying her time off and giving more time to her marriage, her social media stays active where she posts different moods and activities from her life. We just hope we soon get to see more of her on-screen and not just on digital platforms.
Recently announced as ‘BBC 100 Most Inspiring Women’, Mahirah Khan is an international celebrity and one that proudly represents Pakistan and its entertainment industry across the globe.
She is the face of Pakistan in true sense of the word, making us proud with the choice of her advertisements or movies she features in. It’s no surprise that she is amongst the top 5 most followed celebrity actresses of Pakistan.
The other twin of Aiman Khan, Minal has recently become active on-screen. Her recent character as Nisha in Jalan is creating waves and she has been praised for her mature acting in the serial.
Her social media is full of life. Be it a birthday party or a family trip, Minal keeps her social media updated. Along with this, she stays quite in the news for her love life as well which makes her even more popular on social media. After all, who doesn’t want to know the personal life of their favourite celebrity?
Model and actress Mawra Hocane actually started the trend of using social media to stay connected with her fans. When nobody else was uploading pictures and statuses on social media for privacy purposes, Mawra was making full use of various platforms to showcase her lifestyle, her activities and her work.
Not just that, Mawra also uses her social media for awareness of various social causes she believes in and speaking up against injustices in society. No wonder, she has a massive following online.
Having been in the industry for long, Sarah Khan made her name as a decent actress but for the past year or two, she started using the power of social media to stay in the news and keep her fans updated. Her recent wedding with musician Falak Shabbir was the buzz on social media. And even now, not just their personal accounts but a number of entertainment social media accounts post their daily display of affection creating ‘awww’ moments for us.
Sara Khan’s social media was all about her style and groove before her marriage and is now about the newlywed lovebird vibe that wins her more and more followers every day.
Following close is actress Hina Altaf who also got hitched with actor Agha Ali this year. Her Instagram is full of her modelling shoots, leisure moment at drama sets and her daily fun activities at home; so it’s a blend of her personal and professional lives.
It makes her more relatable with her fans and helps them know her bit more personally. When she broke the news of her marriage on social media, she hooked not only hers but Agha Ali’s fans to know more about their love life. With 5.6 million, Hina Altaf is amongst the most followed celebrity online.
Iqra Aziz – 5.2 million
Now this is one actress people love. She won hearts with her roles in Ranjha Ranjha and Suno Chanda so it came as no surprise that she is hugely followed on social media.
