Afshan (Urdu: افشاں, lit. 'Sprinkle') is a 1981 Pakistani television series. Fatima Surayya Bajia adapted the script from a novel of the same name by Amtur Rahman Khatoon. Qasim Jalali directed; M. Zaheer Khan produced.[1][2] It ran for twelve episodes on PTV.[citation needed]
The story unfolds in 1946–47, in the months leading up to and through Partition. At its centre is a large Muslim joint family whose elders take it upon themselves to decide the lives of the younger generation.[2] Family honour comes first — even ahead of whether the children, whose marriages are arranged for them, are happy.[3]
