I'm a film and television director with over two decades of experience leading drama serials, soaps, telefilms, and a feature film for Pakistan's major networks — including HUM TV, Geo, ARY Digital, Green Entertainment, and Express Entertainment. I began as a non-linear editor and moved through production control and producing into directing, building a body of work across psychological, social, and family drama. I'm the director of the feature film Maan Jao Naa and have directed a wide range of television projects such as Sirf Shabana, Naqsh, Diyar-e-Yaar, Hum Dono, Habeel Aur Qabeel, Mujhay Qubool Nahi, Bandish, Jalan, Hasad, Kankar, Kadoorat, Sila, Aulaad, Ishq Hai, and more. I thrive collaborating with writers, actors, and crews to craft precise, emotionally resonant storytelling on screen.
