Her professional partnership with Mohammad Reza Foroutan became particularly noteworthy. The duo appeared together in seven films, often portraying couples entangled in romantic or moral conflicts. Their repeated collaborations became something of a phenomenon in Iranian cinema, drawing comparisons to classic film pairings such as Fardin and Forouzan in pre-revolutionary Iran. Critics described their on-screen dynamic as both passionate and psychologically complex, bringing emotional realism to the often symbol-laden narratives of Iranian film.
However, it was Hajjar’s role in the television series Young Policeman (Polis-e Javān), directed by Sirous Moghadam, that turned her into a household name. The series, broadcast in 2001, featured a star-studded cast including Dariush Arjomand and Shahab Hosseini, and revolved around crime, morality, and social responsibility. Hajjar’s performance as a compassionate yet determined character resonated with viewers, and her popularity surged among television audiences who admired her natural acting style and emotional depth.
