A new drama serial, Betiyaan, giving a powerful message to empower and support daughters has recently aired on television – and it hit the right chord among viewers as they loved the emotional tale.

It is story of doting father, Syed Mohammad Ahmed, who lives with five beautiful daughters. The show aims to highlight how a father can be just as supportive of his daughters as most are of their sons. It also seeks to showcase a healthy, affectionate relationship between a father and his five daughters, despite the birth of a daughter being considered a bad omen in most families and societies. The first trailer of the show shows a grand wedding setting with the family of the father and his daughters enjoying and dancing merrily, until they are interrupted by one of the daughters. The drama boasts an ensemble cast of five daughters, played by Fatima Effendi, Mahenur Haider, Tanya Hussain, Qudsia Ali, and Emaan Khan and their love interests, played by Fahad Sheikh and Osama Tahir. Amidst all the outdated takes and plotlines focused on rivalry, affairs, and generally overdone stories, Betiyaan comes with a powerful message and for once, a refreshing look at healthy, loving families. Directed by Meesam Naqvi and written by Asma Sayani, Betiyaan is Big Bang Entertainment’s newest project and comes with another social issue to tackle.
