Hashim Nadeem’s novel about a dark-skinned, gentle man the world keeps underpricing. Ahmed Ali Akbar plays Parizaad. The last episode was shown in cinemas on 28 January 2022 and on television on 1 February 2022.
It ran from 20 July 2021 to 1 February 2022.
The story
Parizaad is a poor, dark-skinned young man from Lahore who writes. People use the writing, the face and the loyalty, and he keeps moving through rooms that were not built for him: a library, a rich house, a crime-adjacent business, and a love that does not survive the class gap.
Hashim Nadeem wrote the novel. Shehzad Kashmiri directed the HUM serial, which became one of the most discussed runs of 2021–22. Ahmed Ali Akbar plays Parizaad. Yumna Zaidi’s role in the serial is the one most viewers still name beside his. The page does not invent a scene list. The point of the story is the cost of being useful to everyone except yourself.
