Shehr-e-Zaat is a romantic drama based on a novel by Umera Ahmed. The serial directed by Sarmad Khoosat and co-produced by Momina Duraid and Abdullah Kadwani was aired in Pakistan in 2012.

The story revolves around a girl named Falak, played by Mahira, who falls in love with Salman Ansar (Mikaal Zulfiqar). They soon get married but after sometime Salman starts cheating on Falak with his colleague Tabinda. Upon seeing Tabinda and her plain looks, Falak goes on a journey of self discovery with the help of her grandmother played by Samina Peerzada and embraces the true essence of Islam. After letting go of the hollowness and worldly pursuits, Falak accepts Salman back in her life after he leaves Tabinda.

Both Humsafar co-stars Mahira and Fawad have been making waves in India and for all the right reasons. People cannot get enough of these two Pakistani actors.
