AI gave me this answer and I know what the sources were. If I were to write a synopsis of this drama, I’d have done the same way.
Kafeel is a 2025–2026 Pakistani drama serial on ARY Digital, written by Umera Ahmed and directed by Meesam Naqvi, featuring Sanam Saeed (Zeba) and Emmad Irfani (Jamshed/Jami). Set in the late 1990s, the story follows Zeba’s harrowing journey in a toxic, emotionally abusive marriage, focusing on her psychological trauma, familial pressures, and eventual quest for self-realization.
