Pakistan is making waves as popular stars from the industry are coming together to star in the country’s first Netflix Original.

Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Sanam Saeed, Ahad Raza Mir and Iqra Aziz are joining hands to star in the series titled Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo.

It is an adaptation of the popular novel written by Farhat Ishtiaq.

Impressively, this is not the first time that Farhat’s written work has been turned into a screenplay.

Her previous titles have become projects such as Humsafar, Mere Humdum Mere Dost, Bin Roye and Yakeen Ka Safar.

It is about the gripping journey of Sikandar, a brilliant Harvard law student whose life takes an unforeseen turn.

This forces him to create emotional barriers between himself and others.

He goes to Italy where he meets Liza, a gifted artist brimming with vitality but haunted by a tumultuous past.

Their fateful meeting intertwines their destinies in a tale of profound human connection.

Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan will reunite for the first time since their successful pairing in The Legend of Maula Jatt.

Joining the talented cast are Hamza Ali Abbasi and Hania Amir.

Yasir Hussain took to Instagram to congratulate his wife Iqra Aziz on her achievement.

He wrote: “Congratulations Iqra. Now the TV in my house will show my wife. So proud of you, keep rocking.”

Fans came together to congratulate Iqra and to wish her success in her latest endeavour.

One said: “Happy for you both, congratulations Iqra.”

Many came out to praise Yasir for being supportive towards his wife.

One person wrote:

“I’m so proud of you Yasir. The way you support her respectfully and responsibly, may this equation continue always.”

Another said: “Those men who appreciate their women and celebrate their success are the best humans on earth. You are great.”

The series is directed by Momina Duraid who has worked on hit projects such as Bin Roye, Chand Tara and Fairy Tale.

Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo has been filmed in various locations including Italy, Pakistan and the UK. A release date has not yet been announced.

The show’s commission comes from Netflix’s Middle East and North Africa team, indicating the streaming giant’s commitment to diverse storytelling from the region.

Sana is from a law background who's pursuing her love of writing. She likes reading, music, cooking and making her own jam. Her motto is: "Taking the second step is always less scarier than taking the first."
