Timeless talent: Cast of Dhoop Kinare and Alpha Bravo Charlie then and now

By Sajja Shah

These actors have aged with time but their performances are preserved in our hearts and will always be cherished

KARACHI: We all get nostalgic when we recall the golden period of mid 80s and late 90s when PTV gave us hit drama serials like Dhoop Kinare, Alpha Bravo Charlie, Neeli Dhoop and Waris.

Who can ever forget the handsome faces of Alpha, Bravo and Charlie who looked formidable in their uniform or Dr Zoya of Dhoop Kinare.Here are pictures of how these actors have aged with time but their performances are preserved in our hearts and will always be cherished.

The cast of Alpha Bravo Charlie:

Faraz Inam as Faraz Ahmed:

He played a captain in the army and son of a rich landlord in Punjab. Faraz was a confident, ambitious man — Mr Perfect who was well-built, good-looking and wealthy to go along with his excellent academic record. He owned a Mercedes, a Black C180. Ahmad, unlike his friends, was not assigned to any of the combat action.

Captain M Qasim Khan as Gulsher Khan:

Mild-mannered, modest, and humble, he married Shahnaz Sher and settled in a luxurious apartment. A few days after his marriage, Khan was sent to Bosnia on a UN peacekeeping mission. While a commanding officer of his company, Khan harbored and launched a number of rescue operations to protect Bosnian Muslims held by the Serbian forces.

Captain Abdullah Mehmood as Kashif Kirmani

A third generation army officer who initially did not like being in the army but later proved himself. Kirmani was the main character responsible for providing humor through mischief. He played the first cousin to Shahnaaz, the series’ leading female character.

Shahnaaz Khawaja as Shahnaaz Sher

The beauty born in Uganda played the role of a Cambridge-educated elementary school teacher of special children who had a straightforward personality with her own philosophy of life.

Beautiful and confident, she was the love interest of Faraz and first cousin of Kashif. She later married Captain Gulsher Khan.

The cast of Dhoop Kinare:

Rahat Kazmi as Dr Ahmer Ansari

Dr Ahmer Ansari plays a man bereaving the death of his foster father. He vaguely remembers that he was adopted but has no knowledge that his father had a daughter who died young and that she also gave birth to a girl who lives somewhere in the same city. In his will, Ahmer’s father leaves behind everything but gifts the house to his granddaughter, whom he never met.

Throughout the first few episodes, Ahmer couldn’t come to terms with the death of his foster father and the sudden emergence of Baba’s granddaughter who now owns the house he lived and loved. He expected a responsible person to take over his father’s abode.

Sajid Hassan as Dr Irfan

Sajid Hassan plays this character beautifully. He is a junior colleague of Dr Ahmer and works as the administrator of the children’s ward. He is a carefree person with an unmatched humorous personality.

Marina Khan as Dr. Zoya Ali

Marina played a cheerful young doctor who brings joy to the mundane life at the hospital and in Ahmer’s life. Although, her carefree attitude leaves no other choice for Ahmer but to educate her by means of strict behavior as he believes a doctor’s life demands a lot more seriousness than what Zoya demonstrates. Her carefree attitude and short hair made her an iconic symbol in Pakistani television.
