The Night alisketchez Appeared on National Television

There are moments in an artist's journey that change everything.

Moments that validate years of late nights, endless brushstrokes, and the relentless pursuit of getting better — of creating something truly extraordinary rather than merely good.

For alisketchez.pk — Pakistan's most trusted and unique custom art studio since 2016 — that moment arrived when our hand-painted portrait of one of Pakistan's most beloved actors was held up on national television.

On Mazaaq Raat — Pakistan's most iconic and long-running late night comedy and entertainment show — our painting of the extraordinary Imran Ashraf was seen by millions of Pakistani viewers across the country.

Not in a gallery. Not on an Instagram post. Not in a private home.

On national television. In front of the entire nation.

And the reaction? Everything an artist could ever dream of.

Who Is Imran Ashraf — And Why He Deserved to Be Painted

If you need to explain who Imran Ashraf is to a Pakistani audience — you have probably been living on another planet for the past several years.

Imran Ashraf is not just an actor. He is a phenomenon.

He first captured the nation's heart with his unforgettable performance in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi — a role so raw, so powerful, so completely inhabited that it changed the conversation about what Pakistani drama acting could truly be. His portrayal of Bhola — a character of extraordinary complexity, vulnerability, and heart — is widely considered one of the greatest performances in the history of Pakistani television.

But what truly makes Imran Ashraf special is not just his talent. It is his authenticity.

In an industry where image management is everything — where celebrities carefully curate every public appearance — Imran Ashraf has always been completely, disarmingly, beautifully real. Funny without trying too hard. Emotional without being performative. Humble despite being one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

His appearance on Mazaaq Raat — Pakistan's beloved comedy show that has been making the nation laugh for years — was perfectly in character. Because Imran Ashraf belongs wherever there is genuine warmth, genuine laughter, and genuine human connection.

And his face — expressive, distinctive, full of life and personality — is exactly the kind of face that calls out to an artist and says:

Paint me.

The Painting — How alisketchez Captured Imran Ashraf

Creating a portrait of someone like Imran Ashraf is not a simple task.

This is a face that an entire nation knows. A face they have watched cry, laugh, rage, love, and break across thousands of scenes on their television screens. Every Pakistani viewer has their own emotional connection to that face — their own memories of what it made them feel.

The pressure on an artist in this situation is real. You are not just painting a face. You are painting a national feeling.

Here is how we approached it at alisketchez:

🎨 Capturing the Expression

The most important decision in any celebrity portrait is which expression to capture. With Imran Ashraf — a man of a thousand expressions — this required careful thought.

We wanted something that captured both dimensions of who he is — the depth, the emotion, the seriousness of the artist — and the warmth, the humour, the genuine joy of the person. That balance — serious craft and playful humanity — is the essence of Imran Ashraf.

🖌️ The Technique — alisketchez Signature Mix Media

As with every portrait we create at alisketchez — this painting was executed using our signature mix media technique on premium quality matte canvas.

This technique layers different artistic approaches to create a finished piece with extraordinary depth and richness. The result is a portrait that does not look like a photograph. It does not look like a digital rendering. It looks like what it is — a genuine handmade work of art.

👁️ The Eyes — Where Every Portrait Lives or Dies

With Imran Ashraf — as with all great portrait subjects — the eyes were everything.

His eyes carry entire stories. Anyone who has watched Ranjha Ranjha Kardi knows exactly what we mean. Those eyes can break your heart in a single scene. Capturing that expressiveness — that depth — required the most careful and time-consuming work of the entire painting.

We spent more time on the eyes than on anything else. Because when the eyes are right — everything else falls into place.

🎭 The Personality — Beyond the Physical Likeness

A portrait that captures only physical likeness is a photograph with a brushstroke texture. A great portrait captures personality — the ineffable, impossible-to-define quality that makes one person different from every other person who has ever lived.

With Imran Ashraf — that quality is a combination of warmth, depth, and an almost childlike joy that coexists with profound emotional intelligence.

We worked until we felt it in the painting. Until the portrait did not just look like Imran Ashraf — but felt like him.

The Mazaaq Raat Moment — alisketchez on National TV 📺

Mazaaq Raat needs no introduction for Pakistani audiences.

Pakistan's most beloved late night entertainment show — running for years and consistently pulling some of the biggest celebrity guests in the country — is a cultural institution. When you appear on Mazaaq Raat, you are not appearing on just any show. You are appearing on a programme that is woven into the fabric of Pakistani popular culture.

When our painting of Imran Ashraf was featured on the show — held up for the cameras, seen by the audience in the studio, broadcast to millions of Pakistani homes across the country — it was a moment that stopped us in our tracks.

Our art. Our studio. Our Pakistan-made, handcrafted painting — on national television.

The feeling is difficult to put into words. Pride, certainly. Validation, absolutely. But more than anything — a profound sense of gratitude.

Gratitude for every client who trusted us over the past decade. For every painting we pushed ourselves to make better than the last. For every late night spent getting the details right. For every brushstroke that built toward this moment.

This is what alisketchez has been building toward since 2016.

And this is only the beginning.

What This Means for Pakistani Art

We want to take a moment to say something that goes beyond alisketchez.

The fact that a handmade Pakistani painting — created by Pakistani artists, in a Pakistani studio, using traditional artistic techniques — appeared on national Pakistani television is significant for reasons beyond our own story.

Pakistan has extraordinary artistic talent. Always has. The problem has never been the talent — it has been the visibility. The platforms. The recognition.

When Pakistani art appears on national television — when millions of people see a handmade portrait and think "that was made here, by one of us" — it does something important.

It reminds people that Pakistani craftsmanship is extraordinary. That Pakistani artists are world-class. That you do not need to import art or look abroad for something beautiful and meaningful.

It is made right here. At alisketchez.pk.

A Personal Note From alisketchez

When we painted Imran Ashraf — we painted him because we genuinely admire him.

Not just as an actor. As a human being. As someone who has shown Pakistan what it looks like to pour everything you have into your craft — and to remain humble, warm, and completely real throughout.

Those are values we recognise. Because they are the same values we try to bring to every painting we create.

Pour everything in. Never cut corners. Stay real. Stay grateful.

Seeing our painting on Mazaaq Raat — on the same stage where Imran Ashraf sat — felt like a full circle moment. Two Pakistani artists, in their respective crafts, brought together by a shared commitment to doing the work properly.

We are so grateful. And we are just getting started.
