The plot of ‘Sang-e-Mah’ revolves around a Pukhtoon family belonging to the tribal areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The story is an exciting blend of drama, romance, deceit, ego and sacrifice. Fans are super excited to see how the characters of Marjaan Khan played by Nauman Ijaz and Zarghuna played by Sania Saeed develop and how their favourite singer Atif Aslam takes on the role of Hikmat who will be romantically paired with Gulmeena played by Hania Amir.

An interactive press conference with the audiencealso followed the special screening of Sang-e-Mah’s director’s cut, on the same evening, where the cast and crew talked about their respective roles in the drama. Speaking on the occasion, “It’s an unconventional story set in the North of Pakistan about ‘Ghag’, a custom that has ruined the lives of several women. Sang-e-Mah attempts to shed light on the repercussions of ‘Ghag’ and discourages the use of this custom”, commented Momina Duraid, CEO MD Productions & Creative head HUM Network.

“HUM Network has always been a trendsetter. When people wanted to follow Indian soaps we set the benchmark for Pakistani dramas and the industry followed. Be it building new concepts with writers for drama or developing the fashion industry or taking Pakistani events to the world, HUM Network has and will continue to be a trendsetter and create new benchmarks for the industry,” said Duraid Qureshi, CEO HUM TV.
