Biryani is the new drama everyone’s talking about, and it’s not just for the reunion of Duniyapur’s beloved duo, Khushhal Khan and Ramsha Khan. Seven years after stepping away from mainstream TV for films and OTT projects, Sarwat Gilani makes a triumphant return as Gul Mehar. Her character in the Zafar Mairaj-written, Badar Mehmood-directed show has immediately captivated audiences. Early theories about Gul Mehar have been circulating non-stop, and as new episodes drop, it seems all the speculation is finally being confirmed!
Biryani threw a boomerang at the audinece who were loving Meran and Nisa’s cute relationship. Meran is actually married to Gul Mehar. This has shed light on an age-old custom of forced marriages which is still followed in many areas of Pakistan. Meran married Gul Mehar who was older than him due to family pressure and now he is in love with a girl his age.

The internet is loving the twist in Biryani but also calling out big loopholes. According to the story narrated by Gul Mehar, she is around 39 and Meran is just 4 years younger than her which means he should be at least 35. A 35 year old trying to romance a college student like Nisa is not going down well with fans:
A majority of Biryani fans are also sympathizing with Nisa and Gul Mehar. One fan wrote, “Meran was already married. He deceived Nisa when he did not tell her about his relationship status.” Another added, “Nisa is not in a committed relationship right now. The real victim here is Gul Mehar.” One said, “According to the story, Meran was old enough when he married Gul Mehar and now he is trying to convince Nisa for a second marriage.” Here is the reaction:
