What happens when love starts to feel like control? When your parents’ dreams clash with your own?
, the latest drama on ARY Digital, dives deep into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with growing up—and growing apart—in a traditional family.
This isn’t your typical family drama.
Parwarish
is about the little things we all know too well: the unspoken expectations, the generational gaps, the struggle to be understood, and the courage it takes to follow your heart.
Samar Jafri plays
Wali Jahangir
, the kind of guy you'd root for from the start—smart, kind, and incredibly talented. He dreams of making it big in music, but his father has other plans. And now, after moving back to Pakistan from the U.S., Wali finds himself caught between his passion and his family's traditional values.
Aina Asif stars as
Maya
, a sharp, confident girl from a conservative household who’s determined to become a doctor—not because she’s being pushed into it, but because she
wants
it. She’s not afraid to speak her mind, even when the world tells her to stay quiet.
Wali and Maya come from different worlds—but somehow, fate brings them together. And when it does, everything changes.
At the head of the family is
Jahangir
, played by the legendary Naumaan Ijaz—a father torn between love for his family and loyalty to the values he grew up with. His sudden decision to move the family back to Pakistan sends shockwaves through their lives.
Mahnoor
(Savera Nadeem) is the glue holding it all together. As a wife and mother, she quietly fights to keep peace in a home where emotions are constantly running high.
Add in powerful supporting characters like
Dada
(Arshad Mehmood),
Dadi
(Shamim Hilaly), and Maya’s parents (
Nazr ul Hasan
and
Bakhtawar Mazhar
), and you’ve got a story that feels as real as your own living room.
With a script by Kiran Siddiqui and direction by Meesam Naqvi,
Parwarish
brings together a powerhouse cast and a story that’s both heartfelt and hard-hitting. It doesn’t shy away from the difficult conversations—about identity, independence, and the deep-rooted traditions that shape us.
Why You Should Watch
If you’ve ever had a disagreement with your parents about your future—or if you
are
a parent trying to guide your child without losing them—this drama will speak to you.
Parwarish premieres April 7 on ARY Digital, airing every Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 PM.
It’s emotional, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that while families may not always see eye to eye, love is what holds them together.
