Background and development

The novel Mirat-ul-Uroos was first published in 1869 and was written by Nazir Ahmad Dehlvi. It is considered the first novel in Urdu literature.[5] The theme of the novel promotes the cause of female education in Muslim and Indian society.

It was the third TV adaptation of Nazir's novel. The producer of the serial Abdullah Kadwani stated that the serial is not an adaptation of Miraat-ul-Uroos rather it is inspired by the novel and the story of the serial starts from where the story of the novel ends.[3] The script was written by famous Pakistani author and screenwriter Umera Ahmad who previously worked with the production house on hit serials such as Doraha (2008) and Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Benishan (2010).
