In Pakistan making soap opera isn’t a lucrative business as most of the engrossing scripts are often gets ignored for not  airing at prime time. We wish it doesn’t happen with ‘Bachay Baraye Farokht’ as it is based on a sensitive topic that needs to be addressed.

Just like most of our soap-operas the leading lady is a victim here. Sameer Sohail has shown as a sole bread earner of the family but despite of it, his wife (Mariam Ansari) is on the hit list of his mother and sister. Another important character in the drama has been played by Naveed Raza as a jobless brother of Sameer Sohail.
