With one of the aptest casts in television history, Mahira Khan (playing Khirad) and Fawad Khan (playing Ashar), the Pakistani show Husmafar with 9 IMDb ratings broke the records of viewership when it first aired on television in 2011. This not so common love story was captivating million hearts partially because of the plot and partially because of the mellifluous background music.

The background score was so melodiously sung with the line that held the crux of the story- “Bicharne wale me sab Kuch tha, bewafai na thi”. Humsafar which gets translated as Companion or Life Partner revolves around Ashar and Khirad from two different backgrounds and ideologies to marry against their wishes with Sara (Naveen Waqar), playing Ashar’s childhood friend and Ashar’s mother essaying everything just to tear their ways apart.

They were almost successful just when Khirad asserted the defiance to the grave accusation of infidelity imputed to her. The drama gave way to the women empowerment of a sort along with the enthralling chemistry that emerges between the lead couples. The drama originated in Pakistan but was re-aired in different countries on popular demand. Watch this drama for sure to know how could every episode be better than the previous.

These were 5 of the prestigiously popular series of all time. They are classics. They are cult. They are culture. We have some more of the kind in our second list. We’ll be posting it soon. Till then, keep visiting to our entertainment section for more such articles.
