Cast and Characters

Yumna Zaidi as Nashwa Behzaad

The heroine, tops the LLB final exams. Tere Bin mein na sahi, yahan sahi, law toh padh hi liya Yumna ne, haha.

Usama Khan as Barrister Burhaan

Doesn’t hesitate to fight the evil of the society to justice, even if it risks his life. Also polite AF. Zindagi aur mushkilon ko muskura kar face karta hai mera cheetah. Look at his smile at almost-threat: Court mein milte hain.

Nameer Khan as Ammaar Bakhtiar

Drug/smoke addict cousin of Nashwa. Also perhaps a candidate?

Tazeen Hussain as Bisma Behzaad

Nashwa’s mother jis ke dil ne bahot arsa hua kuch chahna chhor diya hai. Aadaab arz hai.

Faisal Rehman as Asim Asghar

Nashwa’s other taya/chacha, not clear in the first episode. We’ll know soon. And we’re all waiting to see Faisal Rehman. What a treat to watch him.

Deepak Parwani as Bakhtiar

Nashwa’s taya, maybe a bit tharki for Bisma. I was like, yeh wala subplot rehne dena thha. Bahot zyada real life nahin dikhani chahiye dramas mein.

Sakina Sammo as Barkat Dadi

Nashwa’s dadi, Bisma’s saas and mumani. Behzad and Bakhtiar’s mother.

Look at her eyes deep in thoughts, plotting her next move, perhaps? Love Sakeena aapa.

Fajr Sheikh as Beenish

Nashwa’s cousin, Ammar’s sister, engaged to Asad

Daniyal Aamir as Asad

Beenish’s fiance

Salma Asim as Sidra Tayi

Also Barkat’s bhanji. She seema quite loving and open-minded but who knows what she’ll turn out to be.

Aniqa Zulfiqar as Faryal

Ammar’s fiancee

Ismat Zaidi as Sabeen Asghar

Burhan’s grandmother, Asim’s mother, Bisma ki mumani

Sana

Nashwa’s friend, an associate at Burhan’s firm.

Asra

Nashwa’s other friend, also an associate at Burhan’s firm.

Mr Baari

Public prosecutor

Tabassum Arif as Qudsiya

Beenish’s aunt, also knows Barkat and Bakhtiar well enough to know who’s right and who’s wrong. She also tells her sister to be thankful for Bisma’s presence in life. Seems like a reasonable woman.

Mubassir Khan

Qadir

One of rivals of Barkat, the good ol’ zameen ka phadda. Basically, the place where Behzad and his father are buried, that place belongs to this family but they are nice enough to let the qabr be there. All they want is apni zameen pe qabza.

Murad

Police guy. He visits Burhan at the hospital to talk about the shooting.

Maheen

Ammaar’s girlfriend, the victim

Maheen’s sister

Inspector Muskan

The investigating officer of Maheen’s case

Also seen in the picture are the doctor and SI.

Sameer

Ammaar’s tharki friend. I think it was him and his buddies who attacked Maheen. Just my theory.

Rukhsana

Nashwa’s nani, Bisma’s mother. Asim and Behzad’s phupho

Moyeez

Intern at Burhan’s associates, kafi chipku ladka hai.

Gunda #1

Chaudhari Shafiq’s gunda, comes to threaten Burhan, probably behind Burhan’s shooting.

Unnamed?

Asad’s mother. She pretty!

Sohail

Asad’s father

I will update the list when I watch the episodes and more characters enter the scene.
