Living with the memories of a lovely life, Beena (Urwa Hocane) now lives with her business-owner husband, Tabish (Ahsan Khan), who gives her all the luxuries but not love. They share two children, and Beena is the epitome of a loyal wife, caring for his household and his mother (Sania Saeed) as he builds a separate life of his own. Ambitious to grow as a politician, Tabish is mingling with his secretary, looking forward to marrying her. Written by Umera Ahmad and directed by Saife Hasan, the drama serial is a parallel of their past and present, where they were first entangled in love, but are now distanced by luxuries.
While Beena is attempting to dust out love from their past life, Tabish can be seen working towards a more modern, up-to-date lifestyle, for which his traditional wife is not a good fit. The drama serial is a representation of Umera Ahmad’s classic vision: a cheating husband and a loyal-to-the-core wife, society’s expectations of women, and their struggle as they live with the past. However, adding the spark to the darkness of Beena’s life is Behram, a fruit vendor she can share a laugh with.
With its premiere, Aap Ki Izzat has received a massive reaction from viewers, who are gutted by Ahsan’s portrayal of Tabish, and he has instantly made it to the internet’s hit list. They have found Urwa to be of great character, and Saif has also earned likability despite his limited screen time. Taking it to X, a user posted:
I’m 100% triggered after watching the first 2 episodes of #AapKiIzzat. I will be in my man-hating era during the course of this show. #AhsanKhan does this so well too! 😆😭 #UrwaHocane is great and #SaifAliKhan is immediately likable. So far, this is good. #PakistaniDramas pic.twitter.com/pxSLW9TtlO

Highlighting how subtly emotional abuse is embedded into the plot, another user posted to X and said:
Watched the first ep of #aapkiizzat and omg it’s like a dramatization of my worst fear. Because this subtle degrading and insulting attitude is soooo heartbreaking yet everyone brushes it off and considers any objection to it as overreaction or oversensitiveness. But it is NOT.

Interested in the storyline, a user hoped that Aap Ki Izzat will take a positive turn. They posted:
Beenish has already faced so many insults in just the first episode. This is going to be a very hard watch, but I’m interested in the show. The OST is good, and I just hope it doesn’t get too toxic or depressing as it goes on.#Aapkiizzat

Invested in Tabish and Beena’s relationship, another user added:
Just finished the first two episodes of #AapKiIzzat and my BP actually increased 😭Every five minutes I was like “???”. Blaming the wife because the son doesn’t pray, then the husband cheating while acting all righteous…ughh 😒😒
