Airing during prime time and produced by 7th Sky Entertainment, Behkaway ran for several gripping months, giving fans a deep dive into family betrayal, psychological manipulation, and emotional trauma.
Directed by Asad Jabal and written by Samra Bukhari, the drama took audiences on a difficult yet thought-provoking journey, centered around love, betrayal, and the price of blind trust.
Story Overview
The drama revolved around Zubair (played by Yasir Nawaz), a selfish and emotionally manipulative husband who abandoned his loving wife Zeenat (Hiba Ali Khan) to marry a much younger woman, Sitara (Yashma Gill).
