Sajal Ali might have left her ‘Yakeen Ka Safar’ days behind, but her presence on television is far from over; in fact, it’s only just begun. The actress was recently cast in period drama ‘Aangan’ with an ensemble cast of Ahad Raza Mir, Ahsan Khan and Mawra Hocane, and it’s already becoming one of the most highly anticipated dramas since ‘Dastaan.’ The drama is set in pre-partition, around 1920-1950 and is set to catapult Pakistani television above and beyond anything imagined.

 

Various BTS snaps have dropped on social media of Sajal’s retro look

The actress looks breathtaking at a glance, oozing a 1940’s nostalgia with her makeup and hair
