Hajra Yamin and Ali Abbas are set to star in Mere Apne <\/em><\/strong>next. The drama serial will highlight the practice of watta satta<\/em> in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Since arranged marriages were agreements of monetary benefit between two families, the practice of watta satta<\/em> emerged to even out the scales. A daughter is given in exchange for a daughter.

“Basically it is a story revolving around two households but it’s one big family. In the family, the characters played by Ali and myself, we like each other.
