She received praise for portraying emotionally intense characters in the dramas, Geo TV's Meri Dulari (2013) and Hum TV's Ullu Baraye Farokht Nahi (2013), the later of which garnered her a Best Supporting Actress nomination at Hum Awards. Her acclaimed role of a troubled wife in the tragic romance Rishtay Kuch Adhooray Se (2013), established her as a leading actress of Pakistan and earned her the Hum Award for Best Actress and Best Actress Popular nominations. Zaidi subsequently gained wider recognition for portraying a range of characters in the dramas Mausam (2014), Guzaarish (2015), Jugnoo (2015) and Zara Yaad Kar (2016), all of which garnered her several Best Actress nominations.
