In a comment to Images, Rehman revealed the drama’s story is “a little intense”. “Basically the story is about a man who does not have a son. And there’s a lot of family pressure on him to have a child,” he said. “He only blames the women for this, doesn’t blame himself. He keeps getting married to different women. And does this to the point that the love of his life also exits from his life.”

Rehman also hinted how the drama will highlight an important theme within its story — adoption. ” I can’t tell you how just yet but it’s definitely going to be a very different serial,” he said.
Talking about his own character, the actor said that he isn’t an “out and out positive character”. “He is quite different and has many shades to his personality,” the actor highlighted. “Ayesha is playing my wife in the drama. Her character’s name is Sophie.”
Speaking of Omar, Azfar said working with her is always a pleasure. “It’s been so much fun,” he said. “Our equation has never changed. We’ve been friends for almost 17 years now. We’ve been through so much together. The highs and the lows, but the friendship is still the same. Whenever Ayesha and me are together, we’re like two kids. We argue or fight with each just like kids but our bond is very strong.”

Omar shares this sentiment. She told Images Rehman is family to her. “I’ve done many projects with Azfar throughout my career,” she said. “He’s literally my family and we have this comfort level that is totally unmatchable. It’s very satisfying working with Azfar,” she highlighted.
Omar gave a little insight into her own character in Bisaat. “My role is of a half Turkish, half Pakistani girl,” she said. “The character is very positive. The kind of journey or circumstances my character goes through, there are different ways of facing them. You can react to them in a very negative way but she chooses to take on everything happening to her. And reacts in a very sensible way. She is a very mature and stable character.
