As Sajal Ali and Hamza Sohail continue to steal hearts on the small screen with yet another pair-up, they make sure to keep the chaos alive behind the scenes. In an Instagram post shared on Wednesday, Sajal gave us a video compilation of the two's shenanigans on the set of their latest serial, Dil Wali Gali Mein.
From singing impromptu to posing for selfies, the clips saw Hamza in various locations as he indulged Sajal in fun banter. "This is the sixth video you're making," he eventually said.
On one occasion, Sajal teased him with an incorrect reference to a previous character. "You look like Farjaad from Burns Road ," she said, and Hamza erupted in laughter.
The Sirf Tum actor starred in the 2024 serial Burns Road Kay Romeo Juliet opposite Iqra Aziz. He, however, played the character of Farhaad in the serial. Farjaad, on the other hand, is Hamza's character in Fairy Tale, which stars Sehar Khan.
Rolling out a mock-accent, Hamza stressed, "Excuse me, it's Burns Road Kay Romeo Juliet, and it's Farjaad Khan Bahadur." Instead of correcting her mistake, Sajal quipped, "Oh, really? You look like a scaredy cat, not bahadur (brave)."
Hamza's fans expressed much gratitude for Sajal in the comments section. "Sajal is giving us what Hamza doesn't," one user wrote. Another user even dubbed the two "real-life Rapunzel and Flynn Rider", while others couldn't get enough of Hamza's accent.
But the accent wasn't all that had fans gushing. "Sajal, you should post a full version of Hamza while he's singing," one user wrote, while another remarked, "We're loving Hamza Sohail (Sajal's version)"
Meanwhile, the Kuch Ankahi actor's fans were in awe of videography skills. "Sajal is in her vlogging era and we are absolutely not complaining, ma'am. Please keep doing it," one user wrote, while others pleaded to her to launch a YouTube channel.
Fans of both artists banded together to express one collective sentiment. "You two are the definition of 'wholesome'," one user wrote, while another said, "This is healing something inside me."
Previously, the two actors starred in Zard Patton Ka Bunn, which focuses on the social issues plaguing conservative communities. It follows Meenu (Sajal) and Dr Naufil (Hamza) as they set out to individually make a difference. On this journey, the two leads also end up finding love with each other.
Bidding farewell to the serial in an Instagram post in October 2024, Hamza wrote, "Here's to more stories that touch hearts, inspire change, and remind us of the power we have when we choose to stand together. Let's all embrace compassion, and build a world where love is louder than prejudice."
