Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat, known for her roles in both television and film, is once again making waves online but this time, it’s not for a new project.
A resurfaced scene from one of her older dramas, Dard Aur Muhabbat, has caught the attention of social media users, sparking quite a buzz.
While the actress currently enjoys success in Geo TV’s popular drama Dayan and has a massive Instagram following of over 5 million, this old clip has fans talking for a different reason.
Her natural look, minimal makeup, and untouched appearance in the scene have led many to compare it with her more polished and modern look today.
The clip, making rounds on platforms like YouTube and Instagram, has triggered a wave of reactions — some nostalgic, others critical.
A few viewers remarked that her face looked noticeably different, with one saying, “She’s had work done for sure.” Another joked, “This was the original Mehwish — now only the upgraded version is active.”
Others were kinder in their comments, calling her look “simple but beautiful,” while some poked fun at the dated makeup style, calling it “too early 2000s” or “very pendu.” A user added, “The makeup artist did her dirty — she didn’t even need that much.”
From hit films like Punjab Nahi Jaungi and London Nahi Jaunga to fan-favorite dramas like Dil Lagi and Mere Qaatil Mere Dildar, Mehwish has built a strong fan base, and even her old work continues to grab attention years later.
