Saboor Aly garnered much love and appreciation for her plays in a short span of time. The actress can be currently seen in drama serials Bhool and Gul-o-Gulzar. By the looks of the first teaser of Saboor’s upcoming drama, Naqab Zan, it seems that the actress will play a sexual assault victim in the play.

Naqab Zan’s teaser shows Saboor in a mehndi jora while she is inside an abandoned house. We hear her mother’s saying it is bad omen for a bride to step out of the house before her rukhsati. Somebody grabs her and she lays unconscious on the floor in the next frame as a soundtrack plays ‘sunehri chaand ko kalak lagi ha’.
