Screenwriter Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar announced on Wednesday that he will release his book based on the blockbuster drama serial Mere Pass Tum Ho in December.
The original drama serial that took the nation by storm in 2019 and 2020 starred Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan, and Adnan Siddiqui. Its twisted tale of love, infidelity, and patriarchy, packed with misogynistic punchlines, has been turned into a gripping novel.
Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar shared the book cover, or presumably, the first draft on his Twitter account.
“Mere Pass Tum Ho is getting published,” he wrote and added, “InshaAllah it will be available in markets by December. Get your copy booked by contacting the publisher Mr. Fawad”.

Mere Pass Tum Ho will be published by Aks Publications. The cover photo for the book features the three leads from the hit drama serial — Humayun Saeed, Ayeza Khan, and Adnan Siddiqui.
The subtitle (in Urdu) reads: “When God favors a woman, you feel glad, but when another man does the same, you don’t”.
About The Show
Mere Pass Tum Ho is one of the most popular Pakistani drama serials. It aired between 2019 and 2020, and garnered a massive fan following, with viewers tuning in every week to see the story unfold. Its finale was eventually premiered in cinemas across Pakistan.
