Zaviyar Naumaan Ijaz

Zaviyar is currently headlining the 2026 Hum TV thriller Zanjeerein as the protagonist Farhan. He is also appearing in the final episodes of the Geo Entertainment mega-hit Sunn Mere Dil (2025–2026) as Taimoor, a role that has redefined his image as a mature leading man.

The “Sang-e-Mah” Breakout (2022): His definitive career-defining role remains Hikmat in the tribal epic Sang-e-Mah. Acting alongside his father, Nauman Ijaz, he proved he could hold his own in a high-pressure, critically acclaimed project, earning a massive fan following.

Leading Man Success (2023–2024): Zaviyar solidified his commercial standing with the ARY Digital blockbuster Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha as Areeb. He followed this with a strong performance in Tere Ishq Ke Naam (2023) and the social drama Bakhtawar (2022).

Lineage & Craft: As the son of Nauman Ijaz, Zaviyar has been vocal about the “nepotism” debate, choosing to focus on a “student-first” approach to acting. His improvement in dialogue delivery and emotional range from his debut in Qissa Meherbano Ka (2021) to his 2026 projects has been widely noted by critics.
