Ehd-e-Wafa: the name alone has the power of evoking evergreen memories and timeless entertainment that left a progressive mark on the younger generation and the drama industry in general.
In a matter of months and 25 episodes, the meaningful story of four solemn friends became a part of our lives. The shenanigans of Saad, Shariq, Shahzain, and Shehryar made this drama a blockbuster success, making families unite on Sundays in front of the television to witness their rollercoaster ride of a life.
With Saad and Shahzian leading the squad, the journalist Shariq remained a supporting character in the indelible plot. But in no time, he towered to steal the spotlight and made his way to the top with his passion for his career.
The credit goes to the breakout hero Wahaj Ali who impeccably essayed the boyish, daring character and made us fall in love with his confidence.
No doubt, the actor has been on our screens for the past five years in various popular serials. But he made Ehd e Wafa an avant-garde project that rose him to exponential stardom!
We sat down with the dandy performer for a light-hearted chat and quizzed him about his journey as Shariq in Ehd e Wafa. He is soon to be seen across Yumna Zaidi and has even locked a movie!
Being in a star cast with big names like Ahad, Ahmed, and Osman, did it get competitive for you working with them in the drama? How has the journey been so far?
The journey was not easy when you are working with big names like Ahad and Osman Khalid Butt.
It was physically demanding too, all the physical actions were real, YES! They were all real! And we were representing our armed forces. It was not a small thing to represent them.
Shariq’s quest to be an honest journalist often lands himself in hot water. What takeaways do you want the audience to learn from your character?
Always stay loyal to your job no matter how many hurdles come in your way, stick on the right path.
Time and again in Ehd e Wafa we have seen SSG clashing with each other. How do you think friends in real life should deal with such dilemmas?
I think that’s what exactly friends are for and this is how we become friends by dealing with such situations and still staying together without having grudges.
Do you think Ehd e Wafa has been a game-changer for your career?
Yes! It was a game-changer for me in terms of huge fan following and I got a lot of praise. However, it has been a big achievement for me and I am grateful for this.
Let’s talk about Hajra Yamin. How was it working with her in the drama?
It was a great experience working with her. It’s always a learning experience and I am looking forward to a new project with her as well.
In what way you believe your role in Ehd e Wafa can bring a positive change Pakistani’s media where it is often sensational and even biased?
I think the positive friendship we share amongst people is often ignored by our dramas. Also, we forget how much such military men are putting their life at stake and how many lives are attached to them.
Ehd e Wafa reinforced so many important and positive messages. Apart from this, strong female characters were also the highlight. This was a breakthrough because women are stereotyped in Pakistani dramas regularly.
You also played a cameo role in Superstar of Nadeem Baig’s younger character. How was the experience playing the role?
The best part was I got to learn so much. All the actors in this film were senior actors so it was a very different experience altogether and that would help me grow as an actor. I was truly honored to be a part of such an amazing team.
Can you tell us about your Kashf Foundation’s new with Yumna Zaidi?
This is for the first time that I am coming on-screen with Yumna Zaidi. I think viewers will enjoy my chemistry with her in the drama. The script is beautiful, she is an excellent performer. The project has an ensemble cast including Noman Ijaz, Sumiya Mumtaz, and Navid Shahzad.
Which drama of yours would you say made you a household name?
I think the Shariq Habib in Ehd-e-Wafa gave me a lot of local and commercial acclaim. So I will give all the credit to this drama who made me a household name and I also gained massive public love.

What is coming up next for Wahaj? Will we be seeing you on the silver screen soon?
Yes, I am again coming with Hajra Yamin in an upcoming movie. We are the main lead in the film. Produced by Asma Nabeel and directed by Misbah Khalid.
