Cast and Characters
Roughly in the order of appearance
Saba Qamar as Jahan Aara aka Gigi (More like Jiji, but I like Gigi)
The landlord, the puzzle herself. She is loaded. Has a few properties on rent, and she makes designer cakes that go for a fortune.

Nimra Shahid as Asiya
Jahan Aara’s househelp and/or confidant

Nabeel Zuberi as Zeeshan
Jahan Aara’s tenant, clearly smitten by her beauty and aura.

Mahnoor Malik
Zeeshan’s wife and by extension Jahan Aara’s tenant. She was Zeeshan’s cousin and has completely transformed herself to please her husband, but Zeeshan ka dil hai ki maanta nahin. She’s expecting, btw. Maybe a loss-moment in future.

Hassan Fareed as Ashiq Hussain
Jahan Aara’s driver, male house help or sorts. Asiya’s husband? He seems like he’s after Jahan Aara’s monies.

Anjum Habibi as Advocate Shakeel
Jahan Aara’s wakeel who gets work constantly, like kicking out problematic tenants, helping with divorces, etc.

Ali Ansari as Junaid
Another tenant after Zeeshan

Anoushay Abbasi as Mahira
Junaid’s wife. She seems smart and all, but will she suffer the same fate as Zara? We’ll see.

Syed Jibran as Sarmad Shahzaib
Jahan Aara’s (ex?) husband who has tortured Jahan Aara mentally and physically, so much so that she still feels the slab awake or asleep.

Usman Mukhtar as Shanu
Presumably Jahan Aara’s maashooq and perhaps cousin, too. Interesting hairstyle on him. I am eagerly waiting for his appearance. One of my favourite leading men in dramas.

Anwar
He’s generally referred to as Pili Kothi wala Anwar, what Ashiq is to Jahan Aara. Anwar is the primary source of spreading gossips. And, he has the audacity to still come to Jahan Aara’s house, and show attribute in third episode. It was so funny.

Naveed/Nabeel
Jahan Aara’s accomplice and appears in many roles: Delivery boy, electrician, majzoob, fixing the mirror… Jahan Aara’s only confidant, I’d say.


Mohammad Ahmad
Jahan Aara’s father

Asma Abbas
Jahan Aara’s mother

Sarfaraz
Jahan Aara’s brother
His expression with parents:

His expression with his wife:

Bhabhi
Jahan Aara’s sister-in-law

Zara’s father
He knows what’s right and what’s wrong, but being a good father, he supports Zara in her decisions.

Zara’s mother
Means well, but is very indulgent with her thoughts and words, ends up hurting Zara, but she ain’t wrong.

Hina Rizvi
Mahira’s mother

Mahira’s father

Khala
Junaid’s mother, Mahira’s Khala

Shahzad Sheikh
Presumably the guy who will fix Jahan Aara because he’s wearing white in the poster, didn’t you notice?
Maria Wasti
Ahin Babar
