Aurat Gardi

The creative drama has characters, which will engage the audience, providing a memorable experience. Syed Mohammad Ahmed is the writer of the series with Farhan Gauher being the executive producer.
Producer, Nauman Mujeeb Khan was grateful to his senior, sharing the teaser on his Facebook, along with writing:
