It is not a run off the mill story with sensationalism. It shows many realities regarding divorced women, child custody and dead beat fathers. The realism of the show is what has attracted the audience to it.

The drama is now in a dragging phase which fans are hating on. The director of dastak Marina Khan appeared on ARY Digital’s Buzz alongside Feroz Kadri and she spoke about this unnecessary dragging.
