Parwarish (transl. Nurture) is a 2025 Pakistani television drama series that premiered on ARY Digital on 7 April 2025. Produced by Fahad Mustafa under the banner of Big Bang Entertainment, the series is directed by Meesam Naqvi and written by Kiran Siddiqui.[2] It stars Aina Asif and Samar Abbas Jafri in lead roles, marking their reunion after the 2023 drama Mayi Ri.[3] The series revolves around youth facing generational conflict and societal pressures during adolescence.[4]

Premise

[edit]

Parwarish centers on Wali Jahangir, a talented young man returning to Pakistan from the U.S., whose passion for music clashes with his father's traditional values. Maya, a strong-willed girl from a conservative family, dreams of becoming a doctor on her own terms. As Wali and Maya's paths cross, they navigate familial expectations, generational divides, and emotional turmoil. With layered characters and heartfelt storytelling, the series explores identity, independence, and the complexities of parental love.[5]
