What Is ‘Khaie’ All About?
Directed by Syed Wajahat Hussain, ‘Khaie’ has become a household name, captivating audiences with its intense narrative and compelling characters. The drama explores intricate human emotions, relationships, and societal issues, and the cast’s performances have played a pivotal role in bringing these elements to life.
In actuality, ‘Khaie‘ is an antiquated tradition still followed in remote areas of Pakistan. According to this tradition when two families/tribes fight, the winning tribe kills off all the men of the opposing family so that no male heir is left to take revenge. The fighting continues until a girl is married off to the opposing families as a peace offering and uniting the families as one.
Drama serial ‘Khaie’ follows the story of Zamda (Durefishan Saleem) and Sardar Chinaar Khan (Faysal Quraishi), who kills off all male members of Zamda’s family and takes her as his forceful bride on her wedding day. During the shootout, Chinaar Khan’s men also injure Zamda’s fiance, Badal (Osama Tahir), who survives and later comes back to avenge Zamda, who has a plan of her own.
