Beti (Urdu:بیٹی;lit:Daughter) is a Pakistani television series created byAbdullah Seja under their production houseIdream Entertainment.[1] It is written by Sophia Khurram and directed by Mohsin Mirza.[2][3]Saheefa Jabbar Khattak andFahad Mirza star as Maryam and Azhar, respectively. The show began airing in December 2018.[4][5][6]
Maryam (Saheefa Jabbar Khattak) is a bright university student who lives with her single mother. After a romantic courtship with her classmate Azhar (Fahad Mirza), she expresses her wish to marry him. Azhar's family consists of his tyrannical grandmother Shahana (Asma Abbas), his parents Hashim (Javed Sheikh) and Fareeda (Naima Khan), his older brother Taimoor (Hassan Ahmed) and Taimoor's pregnant wife Sonia (Zainab Ahmed). Azhar warns Maryam that his family is not like hers, but she accepts this challenge and the two are married. Maryam soon learns that she is expecting. When Sonia prematurely gives birth to a girl, she is coerced by the family into taking her daughter off life support because of her gender. Maryam is disgusted upon realizing that Shahana is a firm follower of a devious guru and wishes for only sons in the family. She fears for her future when she discovers that she is expecting a girl.
In an earlier interview withThe Express Tribune, Khattak said about the character she will be playing, "My character’s in-laws have a conservative mindset and are adamant on their preference of a boy over a girl. There is a sigh of relief as her husband is supportive and has a different mindset from his family."[1]
