Hiba Bukhari’s latest drama Humrahi is drawing sharp criticism from fans who say the storyline has lost its grip after a controversial heart transplant and twin-sister twist.
Hiba Bukhari is facing an unusual wave of criticism as her current drama Humrahi on Geo TV struggles to win over viewers. The series, which marks her third on-screen collaboration with Danish Taimoor, has taken a dramatic turn that fans are not buying. After a heart transplant twist and the introduction of Elif as a twin sister, social media has erupted with frustration. Comments on the show’s official Instagram reels tell the story — viewers are calling the plot illogical, comparing it to Star Plus soaps, and openly questioning Bukhari’s performance in the role.
Hiba Bukhari is one of Pakistani television’s most bankable stars. With standout performances in hit dramas like Deewangi, Jaan Nisar, Fitoor, Radd, Tarap, and Bholi Bano, she has built a loyal fanbase that spans generations. Off-screen, her marriage to fellow actor Arez Ahmed and their daughter Eynur keep fans invested in her personal journey. That makes the current backlash all the more striking — this is an audience that genuinely wants to love her work.
The core of the frustration lies in Humrahi‘s narrative direction. Fans point to the twin-sister entry as the breaking point, arguing the twist feels forced and borrowed from Indian television tropes. One viewer wrote, “Somehow Hiba didn’t click in this drama,” while another bluntly stated, “She doesn’t know how to act… no appropriate expressions, no feel.” Others targeted the writing itself — “The drama has turned into an Indian soap” and “Why is this drama getting boring day by day?” The negative role Bukhari has taken on appears to be a departure from the characters that made her a household name, and audiences are struggling to connect with this version of her on-screen persona.
The question now is whether Humrahi‘s writers can course-correct before the backlash becomes irreversible. Pakistani drama audiences are notoriously vocal — and forgiving — but only when they feel the story respects their intelligence. For Hiba Bukhari, whose track record speaks for itself, this may simply be a bump in an otherwise stellar career. Still, in an industry where one flop can shift the conversation overnight, the pressure is real. Can Humrahi win back its audience, or has the twin twist sealed its fate?
