‘Dastaan’ is undeniably one of the greatest dramas to ever grace Pakistani television. The show transcends essence, time and projects the most heartbreaking story about how partition tore a family apart.
‘Dastaan’ starred Sanam Baloch and Fawad Khan as the star-crossed lovers who were ripped apart as Pakistan came to formation
The drama gave newfound respect to just how breathtaking and revolutionary Pakistani dramas can be and raised the bar immensely for future ventures
And while we’re all diehard fans of the drama, actress Mahira Khan has also hopped upon the ‘Dastaan’ bandwagon
The actress tweeted how her mother was watching the show, and expressed how ‘brilliant’ Fawad and Sanam were; ‘it’s a two-shot, that just stays on them and you stay with them.’
My mother is watching Daastan on tv.. what brilliant actors Fawad and Sanam are. It’s a two shot, that just stays on them and you stay with them. Pshh wow!

Some fans were hoping Mahira wouldn’t reach the more aching moments…
Hope she doesn't see the post-partition episodes. Where sanam is facing violence in India and Fawad is romancing his young cousin in Pakistan.

Many took this opportunity to also talk about their other loved dramas too
I couldn't control my tears in this show. Liked Saba Qamar too but definitely Sanam stole the show.
Other than these I watched ZGH and hamsafar. It was only in Dastaan that Fawad wasn't a chauvinist and I loved the person (character) he was, and not just his looks and acting.— Parul ? (@Parulgoyal1234) December 12, 2017
So, Mahira is a fan of ‘Dastaan!’ Isn’t that lovely?
