After the roaring success of Churails, which became a craze amongst viewers, ZEE5 Global is all geared up to announce the next Pakistani original series, Ek Jhoothi Love Story, stated a press release. Penned by Umera Ahmed, celebrated writer of the famous show Zindagi Gulzar Hai, and helmed by renowned director Mehreen Jabbar, the show stars Bilal Abbas Khan and Madiha Imam.

The upcoming show is a sweeping tale of Salma and Sohail in the quest for love and an ideal partner. It’s a light-hearted family drama with compelling, quirky characters and a fascinating exploration of different kinds of relationships and the path they carve along the way. It will resonate deeply with a generation that aspires to settle for nothing less than an ideal partner and a perfect life.

“Ek Jhoothi Love Story is a very hearty, relatable and wholesome show that goes beyond a love story. This story reflects the simplicities of life, everyday households, family bonds and much more. It highlights our mind-sets of chasing the ‘ideal’ when it comes to finding a partner. It has been a delightful journey collaborating with Zee5 and Motion Content Group on this project,” said Ahmed while talking about her experience working on the show.

Director Mehreen Jabbar says, “Ek Jhoothi Love Story is a beautiful narration of imperfect family chasing perfections in this imperfect world. Written by Umera Ahmed, we hope the series takes viewers on a delightful journey making them reflect & introspect along the way. It’s a story that explores the bittersweet relationship that exists between family members which will be highly relatable to our viewers. It will stream on ZEE5 and that’s very exciting for us.”
