shadows of love

Murtasim Khan is a 27-year-old feudal lord and a successful businessman. With dark hair, brown eyes, and a commanding Aura, Murtasim holds a charismatic presence. He upholds his family's legacy and reputation while also managing his thriving business ventures. Living in a lavish mansion in Hyderabad, he cherishes the close bond he shares with his mother, Salma Shahnawaz Khan, and his younger sister, Mariam Shahnawaz Khan. Since the death of his father, Shahnawaz Khan, when Murtasim was just 17, he has carried the weight of family expectations, which has scarred his outlook on relationships.

On the other hand, Meerab Khan, 21, is an intelligent young woman with honey-brown eyes and a fair complexion. She carries herself with grace. Meerab lives in Lahore with her strict father, Anwar Khan, a wealthy businessman, and her mother, Nadia Khan. She completed her education with high hopes and ambitions but is constrained by the expectations placed on her as a daughter in a traditional family.

Murtasim is driven by a desire for power, success, and maintaining his family's legacy. He pours his heart and soul into his business, believing that success can fill the void left by his father's death and the betrayal of his first love, Ayesha Ali.

Conversely, Meerab is motivated by duty and familial loyalty. The last wish of her late paternal uncle, Shahnawaz Khan, was for Murtasim and Meerab to marry, which puts immense pressure on her. Without many options for a future that fulfills her dreams, she finds herself walking a precarious line-wanting to honor her family's wishes while yearning for a sense of independence and love.
