Few of us can deny the impact that Sanam Baloch has had on the Pakistani drama industry. In a short span of time, with key roles like Bano in Dastaan to Kiran in Kankar, Sanam was able to prove that she is the quintessential girl next door. She had the power to melt hearts with her smile, forcing the audience to smile in unison, and when she cried, we could not stop our own tears.
I would go as far as to say that after a long time, we have an actor who seems to have a certain effortless charm like Marina Khan; an actor who looks cute to both men and women without really making an obvious effort.

Like Marina Khan, every time she is on screen, Sanam has a certain endearing quality that makes you warm up to her instantly; an innocence that comes across without the need for her to resort to the usual 'I-am-so-innocent-that-I-will-behave-in-this-baby-like-manner' tactic, that is adopted by other actors to portray the same.
Then of course the beauty of coincidence resulted in the pairing of Fawad Khan with Sanam in Dastaan, and cupid struck the audience as they fell truly, madly and deeply in love with this couple.
Fawad's eyes can convey as much emotion as his dialogues in a given scene and Sanam is no less of a force to be reckoned with. It was soon clear to all viewers that this was a match made in TV heaven. Dastaan was followed by Akbari Asghari and Kuch Pyar Ka Pagalpan and on every occasion, the couple's on-screen interaction was considered nothing short of magical.
Both actors have had successful on-screen pairings with other co- actors and yet the impact that they were able to create together remains unparalleled.
Sanam has not picked up any acting projects since 2013. Likewise, Albela Rahi is Fawad's first Pakistani movie after Khuda Kay Liyay. The movie is a biopic, based on the life of one of our singing legends Alamgir, and it is very likely that the movie will cast a female lead.
Here is why Sanam needs to make a comeback and why the producers of Albela Rahi should consider her as the most suitable female lead to star alongside Fawad Khan.
1. The duo will make Albela Rahi a must watch
Sanam and Fawad are like the Pakistani version of Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan. They gave us an epic romance like Dastaan, which till date stands as one of the most romantic (yet tragic) dramas. Their reunion on the silver screen would be worth every penny of the movie's ticket!
2. Sanam Baloch is too talented for the world of morning shows
It would be a tragedy to let an actor like Sanam slip away into the mundane world of morning shows. With dramas like Udaari and Preet Na Kariyo Koi promising the return of challenging and unique female roles, we need actors that have a raw and natural acting ability.
Sanam may have taken a step back from the acting world, but she can give stiff competition to any of today's actors. If you don't believe me, just read the comments of the viewers from across the border who can't stop raving about her beauty and acting abilities!
Here's the ultimate list of Pakistani dramas you must watch in 2016
3. Sanam Baloch has a certain old school beauty, making her perfect for the role
Alamgir started his career in the '70s when bell-bottoms and big hair-dos were all the rage, with kajal used in abundance to give definition to the eyes. To see Sanam in such a look would be an absolute treat and this Pakistani beauty would fit the bill perfectly.
4. The audience will see Sanam and Fawad do things they haven't done in a while
Fans have been waiting anxiously to see Sanam return to acting and Albela Rahi could be the perfect comeback for her. Fawad will also get the chance to revisit his rockstar Entity Paradigm days. As Alamgir, Fawad can serenade the audience and his leading lady with his baritone voice. If that doesn't get pulses soaring, I don't know what will.
5. Their chemistry
If you do not know what I am talking about when I mention the chemistry that these two can create on-screen, I suggest you watch this scene from Dastaan.

Fawad Khan to star in Salman Khan's upcoming venture
As many actors continue to announce their movie projects, no such news has come from Sanam, but that may be because she is still waiting for the right opportunity.
The timing feels right for her to make a comeback and in my eyes, nothing would be better than to see Fawad and Sanam together once again. Their pairing has not been oversold like Mahira and Fawad but for some of us, they remain the ultimate on-screen couple.
We will keep our fingers crossed and hope that some wishes do come true, after all!
