    This is the second Pakistani serial I have seen. I was so hooked to watching it. Love the characters of Murtasim, handsome man with the eyes that does the talking. Meerab as a stubborn and spoiled brat who fell in love with the guy who adores her and so patient with her because of her contract. Never forced her to do anything and never asserted his rights as a husband. Waiting for her to fall in love . I hated Haya from the start to the end. Beautiful serial. I’m going to watch more of the Murtasim series now.
