Synopsis
Pyar Ke Sadqay is the story with lighthearted and comedic undertones. It touches upon the subject of young love between two social misfits. Mahjabeen’s (Yumna Zaidi) character is that of an ingénue. Mahjabeen is a naïve, quirky, clumsy, carefree, overtalkative, and mischievous young woman who has failed the tenth-grade multiple times. She is very innocent and fails to pick up on certain social cues. Presumably, she has a lower-middle-class family background. Abdullah (Bilal Abbas Khan) is a shy, nerdy, soft-spoken, and socially awkward/out-of-place university student who is gifted in mathematics. He comes from an affluent upbringing and has been verbally abused by his stepfather, Sarwar (Omair Rana). Both protagonists are daydreamers with different aspirations; Mahjabeen fantasizes about escaping from her studies and getting married one day, while Abdullah dreams about a relationship with his crush and classmate, Shanzey (Yashma Gill). Mahjabeen and Abdullah know each other through her father, Munshi Jee (Malik Raza), who works for Abdullah’s family and their business. Mahjabeen teases Abdullah on occasion and they are acquaintances at the beginning of the series. Early in the series, Sarwar becomes smitten with Mahjabeen and plots to pursue her romantically. After both protagonists get rejected by their interests (with Mahjabeen’s fiancé eloping with her best friend on her wedding day and Abdullah’s crush rejecting his proposal), Abdullah marries Mahjabeen on the spot. He does this out of pity. This angers Sarwar, and he secretly plots to ruin the gullible Abdullah’s relationship with the ever-so innocent Mahjabeen. The plot twists and Sarwar marries Mahjabeen, as she gives her nod, to revenge Abdullah's infidelity. [1][2]

Pyar Ke Sadqay’s OST (titled after the series) was composed and performed by Pakistani singer Ahmed Jahanzaib. Mahnoor Khan also provided vocals for the song.[11] The OST has drawn heavy comparisons to the popular Sindhi song, Rahat Milay Thi Dard Mein, Man Piyar Tan Sadqay, in terms of its lyrics, melody, harmonies, and overall composition.[12][13] The song Rahat Milay Thi Dard Mein was originally performed by the Pakistani Sindhi folk/playback singer, Ustad Muhammad Yousuf for the 1968 Pakistani Sindhi-language film, Shehro Feroz.[12]
