Faysal Quraishi has showed countless characters over the years. With Behroopia, he demonstrates once more why he remains one of the most respected actors in the Pakistan industry. The drama offers him a new type of character, one who doesn’t scream or use loud gestures to get points across.
In Behroopia, Quraishi plays a man with a complicated past. He carries guilt, confusion, and a quiet sadness that runs through nearly every scene. It’s not an easy role. There’s no loud breakdown, no over-the-top expression. But that’s what makes it so compelling.
He uses stillness as a tool — the kind of pause, glance, or reaction that feels real. There’s a calm to his performance that pulls the viewer in. He doesn’t play for applause. He plays to tell the story.
The drama itself moves at a slower pace, which works in Quraishi’s favor. It allows his character to grow gradually. Each episode peels back a little more, and he doesn’t rush it. He holds back when needed and leans in when the moment demands it.
Fans have taken notice. Many viewers on social media say Behroopia feels more grounded than most dramas airing right now. They’ve praised Faysal’s role for being relatable — not perfect, not heroic, just human.
It’s not just about the emotions, though. His timing is precise. The way he delivers lines, the way he reacts without words — these are things that can’t be faked. It’s a sign of a mature actor who knows his craft inside and out.
The rest of the cast supports the story well, but it’s Quraishi who anchors the show. He doesn’t dominate the screen with noise. He lets the weight of the character speak for itself.
Behroopia might not be the flashiest drama on air, but it’s one of the most sincere. And Faysal Quraishi’s performance is at the heart of it — layered, controlled, and real.
After so many years in the industry, it’s refreshing to see him still choosing roles that challenge him — and remind audiences that quiet performances can be just as powerful as loud ones.
