Khuda Mera Bhi Hai (Urdu: خدا میرا بھی ہے transl. God is mine too) is a Pakistani drama serial that aired on ARY Digital from 22 October 2016 to 10 April 2017.[1] The serial is written by Asma Nabeel, directed by Shahid Shafaat and produced by Sana Shahnawaz.[2][3] The title soundtrack has been composed and sung by Waqar Ali.[3] It stars Ayesha Khan, Syed Jibran, Furqan Qureshi, Saba Hamid, Alyy Khan, Mehmood Aslam, Hira Tareen and others.[3]
The drama revolves around Mahagul (played by Ayesha Khan), a mother who gives birth to an intersex child named Noor (played by Furqan Qureshi), and the resulting challenges she faces in her family and society – where acceptance of the third gender remains a taboo.[4] Noor's father, Zain (played by Syed Jibran) refuses to accept the baby and leaves his wife.[2]
Mahagul is a conscientious, strong woman who envisions equal opportunities and fair treatment for her child like any other normal being. She provides him a privileged upbringing and education while challenging societal norms.[2][5][6] She is joined in her mission by Noor's tutor Mikaeel (played by Alyy Khan), who becomes his caretaker and treats him like his own son.[2] Mikaeel also develops feelings for Mahagul.[5]
The serial sheds light on the stereotypes, gender discrimination and marginalisation that intersex people face within Pakistani society, and their identity crisis.[7][8][9]
