5 Times Desi television Couples Made Us Think Twice in Drama Industry

Pakistani dramas have a reputation for following typical storylines with the same old run-of-the-mill characters. Right?

1) Mahira Khan and Adnan Malik in Sadqay Tumhare
Funnily enough, it was Mahira Khan's Bin Roye that kick-started this discussion; this seems to be a pattern. A classic tale of forbidden love, Mahira and Adnan play the roles of Shanno and Khalil who are first cousins, "promised" to each other since they were toddlers.
2) Aamina Sheikh and Adnan Siddiqui in Maat
Relationship status: Ex-brother in law turned husband turned divorcee turned brother-in-law AGAIN
This whole show was a web of inappropriate relationships: Saba Qamar played Adnan Siddiqui's first wife, Saman, who leaves him after a whirlwind affair for his business partner. She was also Aamina Sheikh's sister, who was initially engaged to Siddiqui's character.
3) Alishba Yousuf and Babar Ali in Ek Nazar Meri Taraf
Relationship status: Widow and former brother-in-law get marrie
