– 3 March 2012Humsafar (Urdu: ہم سفر, Ham-safar) (English: Companion) is a Pakistani drama television series directed by Sarmad Sultan Khoosat, based on a novel of the same name written by Farhat Ishtiaq. It originally aired on Hum TV from 24 September 2011 to 3 March 2012. It was preceded by Mastana Mahi and followed by Durr-e-Shahwar. The story revolves around the trials and tribulations of a married couple.
Khirad Ahsaan (Mahira Khan) belongs to a small locality in Hyderabad, and lives with her mother Maimoona (Saba Faisal). Maimoona's brother Baseerat Hussain (Behroze Sabzwari) is wealthy and is married to Fareeda (Atiqa Odho); they have a son named Ashar (Fawad Afzal Khan). Since she has cancer and doctors inform her that she will die soon, Maimoona seeks her brother's help in arranging Khirad's marriage. To compensate for not taking better care of Maimoona, Baseerat promises that Ashar will marry Khirad. This irks Farida, who has always wanted Ashar to marry his cousin Sara (Naveen Waqar), the daughter of Farida's sister Zarina Ajmal (Hina Khawaja Bayat). In spite of their reluctance, Ashar and Khirad are married moments before Maimoona passes away. Sara, who is in love with Ashar, is heartbroken upon learning this and attempts suicide. Both Ashar and Khirad are aloof towards each other and feel uncomfortable in the forced marriage. Ashar still promises Khirad that he will attempt to maintain a stable relationship. Khirad feels that by marrying a man who is financially superior, she has lost her self-respect. Gradually, the duo fall deeply in love with each other. Ashar admires Khirad's innocence, simplicity and purity of heart; his admiration is reciprocated by Khirad, who is in awe of his caring personality. While he develops a strong and loving relationship with his wife, Ashar remains friends with Sara. When she humiliates Khirad, Ashar reprimands her for her callousness. Soon, Baseerat becomes ill and on his death-bed, he reminds his son that it is important for him to always look after Khirad.
