Khwaish was an Indian soap opera that aired on Sony Entertainment Television (Global) from Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm and on ARY Digital (Pakistan only) from Monday to Thursday at 9:30pm. It was telecast in India and Pakistan. The serial concluded quickly due to its falling popularity. It was later aired on Ariana TV, an Afghan channel.
Plot
The show is based on the life of an Indian Muslim girl, Afreen, who is living with her family in Dubai. Afreen gets what many girl dreams about: marriage into a wealthy and respectable family, as well as a handsome, loving husband, Kabir. Soon, she is expecting her first child.
Unfortunately, her joy is short-lived. Kabir suddenly dies in an accident. Circumstances lead Afreen to marry her brother-in-law (i.e., Kabir's younger brother) Azaan, who has never got along with her. One misunderstanding after another affects the relationships in the family. However, as time passes, Azaan and Afreen start liking each other. One day, they see a man who is exactly like Kabir. Is this his look-alike or had he survived the accident? Was the accident staged by someone close to them? And who should now be considered Afreen's husband? The answers to these questions form the denouement of the story.
Introduction verse
The following verse is used as a thematic introduction to the show:
Kehte hain...
Har kisi ko muqammal jahaan nahi milta
Poori hokar bhi adhoori – Khwaish…
Kabhi zameen, to kabhi aasmaa nahi milta
Mujhe pyaar toh mila, meri bhi khwaish poori toh hui par
