A little while after their wedding Salman dies. After his death, Basharat feels bad for his sister-in-law, Amtul and decides to marry her.

While reviewing for DAWN Images, Sadaf Haider praised the series for challenging cultural norms, satire, performances of Ramsha Khan, Saba Hamid, Wahaj Ali and Shahood Alivi, but criticized for portraying the male lead as weak and fickle, perpetuating stereotypes.[1] Zeinab Masud of The Friday Times praised the series for effectively conveying several pertinent messages while entertaining the audience.[8]
