Kafeel was a hit ARY Digital drama serial which gained good TRPs and views because of its relatable household storyline. The public resonated with Zeba’s story, who suffered a lot in her marriage and later ended up remarrying her first love, Jamal. Her son Subuk played an important role in making her second marriage possible. The internet has now found the real-life inspiration behind Kafeel.
Last year in January, a Pakistani boy named Abdul Ahad arranged his mother’s nikah and garnered appreciation for his thoughtful gesture. Fans have reshared that video and believe that Kafeel may have drawn inspiration from this real-life incident. Here is the video:
