Previously a poster and behind-the-scenes photographs from the sets revealed Mahira Khan in a nerdy avatar for the drama serial. With the teasers, we’re getting to know more about her role as ‘Mehreen’.

Mehreen is a young woman suffering for the sins of her elders. Or is that just her perspective? Based on the book Mehreen is the embodiment of innocence. Smart, but shy and timid, no wonder she’s an easy target.
It’s unclear if the drama adaptation will stick to the book or will make amendments.
Meanwhile, not everyone is happy with the casting. The drama serial is an adaptation of Umera Ahmed’s novel ‘Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay‘. Netizens say that Mahira might be too old to be playing this character.
Mehreen Mansoor is supposed to be a young girl. as it doesn’t go with her personality and specifically her age at all. Yet, Mahira Khan is a grown woman.
Similar objections emerged when Ayeza Khan played ‘Meenu’ in Chupke Chupke.

As for the other characters, we see a rivalry between Kubra Khan’s ‘Mashal’ and Mehreen with Usman Mukhtar’s ‘Aswad’ on the fence about the whole ordeal.
