Here are five Pakistani shows that have made their way onto Indian television and are enjoyed by audiences.
Mein
Mein follows the story of egotistic Mubashira (Ayeza Khan) who seeks revenge on her husband and best friend after he hands her divorce papers on their wedding anniversary and proceeds to marry her friend.
The story also follows the journey of Zaid (Wahaj Ali) who belongs to a highly influential family and is in love with a girl from a lower class.
His father is against the prospect of them getting married and requests that Zaid marry Mubashira as she belongs to an elite class.

Mein stars Usman Peerzada, Azeka Daniel, Shehzad Nawaz, Aijaz Aslam and Alizay Rasool.
Mayi Ri
Mayi Ri is a hard-hitting drama that focuses on the topic of child marriages.
It consists of a strong female lead, including names such as Maria Wasti, Maya Khan, Aina Asif, Amna Malik and Hiba Ali.
It also stars Nauman Ijaz, Paras Masroor and Samar Jafri.
Although Mayi Ri is being appreciated for highlighting a sensitive topic, it has recently been criticised for its teenage pregnancy storyline.
Many viewers said that the lead character Annie should have been played by an older actress as Aina Asif is aged 15 and considered too young to portray such a daunting storyline.

The story takes a turn when their families believe they should not be friends anymore as they have reached the age of puberty and it is believed that individuals of the opposite sex should not be friends.

Jaise Apki Marzi
Jaise Apki Marzi is a drama based on emotional abuse at the hands of your husband and the impact it has on a woman’s confidence as well as her marriage.
