A video shared by Major General Asif Ghafoor, DG ISPR, showed Indian Sikh devotees praising Pakistani drama serial Ehd-e-Wafa when asked about their favorite Pakistani serial. The prompt response of Sikh devotees proved Ehd-e-Wafa’s success not only in Pakistan but across the border as well. Sikh pilgrims were on the visit to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur.
The answer of Sikh devotees drew Pakistanis into amusement since Ehd-e-Wafa is an ISPR-sponsored drama serial that is military-centric and its popularity in the arch-rival India is unthinkable for many Pakistanis.
Ehd-e-Wafa is a big hit in India too. I met a family at Kartarpur who was a big fan of our dramas. I was pleasantly shocked when they said Ehd-e-Wafa is their favourite. Sardar g even had all its episodes downloaded in his phone.

The drama features Osman Khalid Butt, Ahad Raza Mir, Ahmed Ali Akbar and Wahaj Ali in lead roles, It also features Zara Noor Abbas, Alizeh Shah as Ahad Raza Mir’s romantic interest and Hajra Yamin, among others.
