“It's giving Ishq Zah e Naseeb vibes.”
The much-anticipated drama Dil Dhoondta Hai Phir Wohi has finally unveiled its first look trailer, immediately sparking conversation across social media.
The project, written by Rida Bilal and directed by Adnan Sarwar, takes a bold step by tackling dementia in younger individuals.
At its core, the narrative unfolds as a tragic romance, pairing Zahid Ahmed and Zara Noor Abbas in roles layered with emotional intensity.
The teaser reveals fleeting glimpses of a loving couple before Zahid’s character begins to lose fragments of his memory and identity.
It also highlights the anguish of a woman who marries the man of her dreams only to watch him fade slowly.
The trailer struck an emotional chord with audiences, drawing remarks.
One viewer commented: “It’s giving Ishq Zah e Naseeb vibes.”
Others praised the pairing, with one fan writing: “They are both favourites.”
Another remarked: “This looks interesting.”
With this drama, Express Entertainment ventures into profound territory, exploring not only romance but the devastating impact of memory loss.
Dementia has rarely been portrayed in mainstream Pakistani drama, and this serial presents its erosion of love and relationships with sensitivity.
Rida Bilal, known for weaving socially conscious themes into compelling narratives, crafts a story rooted in love, grief, and resilience.
Director Adnan Sarwar, acclaimed for cinematic storytelling, brings authenticity and visual depth to the delicate subject matter at the heart of the series.
Produced by Alpha Productions in collaboration with Express Entertainment, the show reflects the channel’s commitment to bold and thought-provoking dramas.
The aim is not only to entertain audiences but also to spark discussion on issues seldom addressed in primetime television.
Zahid Ahmed has described the project as a powerful experience, noting that it gave him immense creative freedom as an actor.
He emphasised how the role offered him the opportunity to explore performance margins rarely found in conventional drama scripts.
The project, however, has not been without controversy, as public reaction surfaced weeks before its teaser release.
In August 2025, Zara Noor Abbas posted a behind-the-scenes photoshoot with Zahid Ahmed in a collaborative Instagram post.
The intimate pose immediately drew backlash, with some netizens questioning the actors’ dignity given their marital status in real life.
A user commented: “Oh, I thought they had gotten married.”
Others defended the actors, while some remarked on the tolerance of Zara’s husband, expressing surprise at his acceptance of the shoot.
Despite the backlash, the drama continues to generate anticipation, with many eager to see how the story unfolds on screen.
As Dil Dhoondta Hai Phir Wohi prepares for its premiere, it promises to balance raw emotional storytelling with social relevance.
