With no black or white extremes, a simple story on the surface, his script appears to have layers of meaning embedded within crisp and meaningful dialogues."[6] He has also acted in various drama series including Ehd E Wafa, Suno Chanda, Mere Paas Tum Ho, Aulaad and Sabaat.[7] His performance in these series is widely praised by viewers and critics.
