Qasim Ali Mureed is a talented Pakistani television and film director known for hits like Aangan, Prem Gali, Jaan-e-Jahan, Mere Humsafar, Meri Shehzadi, Aye Ishq-e-Junoon, and others. Recently, fans praised his phenomenal work as a director in ARY Digital’s drama series Bas Tera Saath Hu, which was written by the late Saira Raza of Mere Humsafar fame, who passed away on June 3, 2025, from a heart attack at the young age of 45.
Recently, Qasim Ali Mureed appeared on Atiqa Odho’s podcast, where he talked about working with Saira Raza and also discussed Anas’s character in Bas Tera Saath Ho.
Qasim Ali Mureed said, “If I talk about Bas Tera Saath Ho, I was keen to do it because Saira Raza’s and my bond as a director and writer was perfectly displayed in Mere Humsafar, and people resonated with us. She had multiple other scripts that we wanted to work on together. Neither of us wanted to show toxic males flaunting their wealth. My hero isn’t someone driving a Land Cruiser, crushing people, or showing off his power; my hero is a person who is gentle with his family. That’s why I resonated with Anas, who, despite facing so many pressures and so much hatred, still had love for others. Even the audience comments about Anas were different. My ADs, editors, and Farhan asked, ‘What if Anas takes his revenge?’ To which I said, ‘We don’t need that because Anas is not that kind of person.’ His story arc is that he is a forgiving person who isn’t after revenge. Being Muslims, we are taught to forgive our enemies—these are the teachings of our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W.).” Here is the link to the video:
