Hats off Nayyar ji, his role of a disgusting, creepy and greedy police officer in drama Cheekh is extremely well played. The mannerisms of a uncouth person so well played that u see them all over, never saw an actor picking his nose or eating like an animal on screen before. Good luck sir!

Nayyar Ejaz is phenomenal , I was struck by his talent over 20 years ago. He gets dissolved in the character he plays. Greatly admired.

Seasoned actors like Nayyar Ejaz have perfected their craft. The newbies need to learn from experience rather than getting offended by criticism.
