The rumours in Indian media claimed Kapoor was attached to the project, with actresses Kanika Mann and Ayesha Singh supposedly being considered for lead roles. However, Kapoor never officially confirmed the remake.
Tere Bin, a Geo TV romantic drama, starred Yumna Zaidi and Wahaj Ali. Their on-screen chemistry as Meerub and Murtasim became a viral sensation, captivating audiences worldwide. The show amassed millions of views per episode on YouTube, breaking records and solidifying its status as a global phenomenon. Following the show’s conclusion, Kadwani confirmed a second season, much to the delight of fans.
The storyline weaves a complex narrative, introducing characters like Salma Begum (Bushra Ansari), the revered “Khaanum” of the village, and Haya (Sabeena Farooq), Murtasim’s cousin, whose unrequited love adds a layer of complexity. As Meerab’s life unfolds, it becomes evident that her past is entangled with the Shahnawaz Khan family, leading to a revelation that alters the course of her destiny.
The drama navigates through Meerab’s struggles against societal expectations and her journey from Karachi to Hyderabad, where her marriage to Murtasim is arranged against their wills. The non-consummation contract, Meerab’s hidden truth, and Murtasim’s efforts to win her over add depth to the narrative.
This development underscores the growing popularity of Pakistani dramas and the potential for cross-border collaborations in the entertainment industry.
