Aik Mohabbat Aur, by Green Entertainment, has premiered and captivated audiences with its dreamy star couple, the scenic beauty of Islamabad, and a fairly unusual love story. Starring Ahad Raza Mir and Maya Ali as the main leads, the story revolves around two dedicated professionals, Haroon Malik, a journalist and Khushbakht Naz, an assistant commissioner. Both hail from different backgrounds, are engulfed in work, and carry their own traumas that slowly unravel.

The drama serial opens with Haroon (Ahad Raza Mir), a journalist who goes to any lengths to find the story he wishes to cover; while struggling to record an interview, he finds loopholes to get to what he wants. Bypassing the heavy security provided by the assistant commissioner, Khushbakht (Maya Ali). The two, belonging to clashing worlds, are connected by fate when Haroon misconstrues her statement on his television show and is confronted by her over the phone. During the call, he is mugged, and Khushbakht becomes a witness to it, informing the police, leading to a back-and-forth between them.

Haroon, a single young man, has surrounded himself with work while his mother is badgering him to marry; the traumatic married life of his parents keeps him away. Saving himself from the heartbreak, he waits for the right time to marry and to someone he pleases. Khushbakht, however, is a single mother, hopping between caring for her daughter and work. She has exited an abusive marriage, carrying unprocessed baggage.

The two parallels are etched in a way that has led viewers to vouch that the two clashing individuals are made for each other. With hope that ‘love will find a way’, the Aik Mohabbat Aur audience has found themselves attached to the plot. With a star-studded ensemble, a promising love story, and an unconventional backdrop, the drama serial hopes to set some records.
