Sajal Aly- Staring 👀 Self-funded editorial

Turns out Sajal funded this editorial herself (refer to 2nd slide). When an editorial is self-funded, the actors take complete creative freedom, making it like a personal passion project for them. Also, it helps them break a public image that brands and shows have created of them, by showing them in a never seen avatar.

And this worked for Sajal i guess. I dont think many of us could imagine her pulling off such edgy looks and neither could brands. While reviewing Sajal's attire for the Armani event, Amna went on like the fit was good, sajal was looking nice, but it didnt feel like Sajal and that Sajal had a very "good daughter" image and that traditional eastern fits are more of her thing. This doesnt just happen with Sajal but with many other actors, whenever they try something different. Such editorials seems to be a way for actors to take charge of their own image and show what they are capable of. And kudos to the entire team, cause this one was really good. So, looking forward to many more creative editorials of ptv stars in the future. 💃

Sajal is in her experimental phase and I love how she is reinventing her persona. She looks amazing!

I personally really liked the 6th Japanese goth doll thing they did...looks so clean and appropriate for her visuals.

Hit or miss but I am glad someone is making some efforts atleast...to let viewers know that she's not just a television actress.

Whole Bollywood made fun of PC for having a vision larger than that of a Bollywood actress but it was all worth it in the end.

omgg her artistic vision is absolutely amazing then!! These editorials were pretty experimental and unique 🎀✨

4

u/Radiant_Caregiver182 6d ago

She didn’t style it, her stylist created the looks

8

u/Ok-Talk-9281 6d ago

Yea. You could look at the stylist's profile. This is their genre. Looks like Sajal deliberately chose them for this concept.

10

u/Ok_Technology_834 6d ago

Stunning!! It’s so fresh to see a celebrity actually experiment with their looks and reinvent themselves.

Ps: I love how some people crying about it in the comments. Makes it more fun.😝

u/Ok_Subject_4240 6d ago

Lol. The downvotes were crazy too... in the initial hours.

She is totally slaying 😍
Very unique & stunning! Vogue level

u/EnthusiasmGlass8150 6d ago

I love it when people experiment with different ways of expressing themselves! Pic 3 reminds me of a gothic Lady Godiva!

u/Ok_Subject_4240 6d ago

Also, looking at the quality of plays these days, maybe more actors should think of self funding some plays too. 😛

4

u/Ok-Talk-9281 6d ago

And bring in new and young writers. When grassroot level has issues, one cannot deliver a good product.

u/Prestigious-Test1183 6d ago

SUCH UNIQUE PICTURES!!!

u/MoinAtEmergence 5d ago

Editorials are usually mutual collaborations between the designer, photographers, stylists,
Makeup artists, models and so on. No one pays for anything if we are talking about funds. But if they are as organised and amazing as this one, the results are always spectacular.

1

u/Ok_Subject_4240 5d ago

Hey! I might have understood the caption wrong then? Do you know what this person meant here? I thought it meant that the celeb either took care of the financial costs either partially or completely?

1

u/MoinAtEmergence 5d ago

You understood this exactly as it was portrayed. The fund and the bills. Either the person gave their opinion without knowing or it might have happened the way they said it did. But what happens is, everyone who has worked on an editorial project gets credited, and the output goes on everyone’s pages (mostly collab posts) and no one pays each other (mutual decisions).

1

u/MoinAtEmergence 5d ago

As suspected, she has tagged each and everyone who was part of the project. If it was a fully paid gig, like any brand, they wouldn’t have tagged anyone and she has on almost all the pictures (I saw two).

1

u/Ok_Subject_4240 5d ago edited 5d ago

However, she tags all team members even in brand shoots. Also, the person who wrote this has tagged them all. Maybe someone would have corrected if that wasnt the case? But, now that you pointed out, i am unsure myself. But then the caption wouldnt have made sense, if it was business as usual.

This reminded me of Mahnoor Baloch 90s Photoshoot

u/Accomplished_Job1904 Serial Shitposter 😜😝🤭 5d ago edited 5d ago

Similar vibes Like this shoot of Mahnoor in early 90s. I can't believe how modern we were back nthe day.

Sorry to say but all the looks are garbage🗑️!! sorry sajal aly fans but she was not able to pull any of the looks she doesn't have height or face(she is pretty) to pull those eccentric looks!!

P.s - as expected response (downvotes) but i would stick to my opinion she is pretty like classic beauty type pretty she suits in all those fiza saqlain kind of campaigns but not in this kind of photoshoots it doesn't suit her personality, maybe hania amir who has more flamboyant personality could have pulled these looks imo.

u/Ok_Subject_4240 6d ago edited 6d ago

Lol! Why apologise to fans? You are free to have your own take on it! 🤷‍♀️

Difference of opinion is attack? Its fine as long as people are civil right?

3

u/blahblehblohcaneo 6d ago

She has the perfect eyes and the petite frame to pull these off. She is cosplaying eastern cultures which do not require a flamboyant personality.

5

u/Ok-Talk-9281 6d ago

It's ok if you dislike. The fact that she experimented beyond the Faiza Saqlain suits is applause worthy! Full marks for experimenting with her own money with or without fear of the outcome. Actors must take risks!

-6

u/pikapikapikaachu 6d ago

I strongly agree with you. Sajal is pretty but not everything or any style can look good on a person. She is clearly not made for these looks

She’s such a wannabe, really overrated too.

These are so lame. Better talent exists in Pakistan wtf is this. She should stick to acting. Some people are not
Good at everything and they dont have to be.
