However, we TV have the honor of being able to do something like this. The drama is not just about making money but also about providing quality entertainment to the people. It would be an exaggeration not to praise Saira Ghulam Nabi, the content head of MD Productions, for bringing such a good drama to light. His keen eyes identified a good script.

        If you look at the rival, there is also murder and sensation, there is also mention of off-screen divorce, there is also greed, there is also extra-marital affair and there is also mention of another woman, but everything has been presented so closely that Doesn't look flawed. Years later, a drama has emerged that is beautifully presented with the sensitivity of the subject.
