Click here to watch all episodes
It is the first sequel to be made of any serial shown in Pakistan to date. It picks up from where Meray Paas Paas left off and goes into the next generation. For those who dont know, Meray Paas Paas starred Nadia Jamil as Emaan, and Deepak Perwani in his debut performance as Adil. The story revolved around the couple that was happily married until Emaan got pregnant. Adil left his wife because he felt her pregnancy got in the way of his ambitions and got involved with someone else. Meanwhile, Shariq (Moammer Rana) who was Emaans neighbour and loved her, befriended her throughout and they got married. Emaan gave birth to a daughter, Anna, and later to Shariqs son, Faraz. The play ended with the couple happily married and on good terms with Adil, who is allowed visiting rights to see his daughter. MPP - TS begins with this happy relationship and with Emaan expecting her third child - Shariqs second. However, Emaan and the baby die during delivery, leaving behind a shattered Shariq. He dotes on his kids, but Adil soon shows up to take custody of his daughter and whisks her off to the US so she cannot meet her step-father. Anna (Sarwat Gilani) grows up with a lot of unanswered questions and returns to Pakistan after ten years. On coming to Karachi she happens to meet Shariq without knowing his true identity, and misinterprets his deep love for her. Ali (Imran Abbas) is in love with Anna, but he too, cannot understand Shariqs feelings for her. Meanwhile, Alis aunt, Neha (Zee Q) develops feelings for Shariq and befriends him through his depression. To find out what happens to these love-lost, anguished souls, lookout for Meray Paas Paas - The Sequel.
