Cast

Production

In November 2018, it was revealed that Barkat Siddiqui is working on a project called Aye Dil Zara Sambhal.[3] The title of the show was later changed to Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida. Zahid Ahmed was cast in the lead role.[4] He played the role of Shahaan, an average middle-class man who is working hard to create comfort in the lives of his wife Ulfat (played by Sonya Hussain) and children. Mansha Pasha played the character of Shafaq, a rich and glamorous girl.[4] The role was initially offered to Armeena Khan but due to unknown reasons, probably date clashes, she was replaced by Pasha.[3] It was Mansha Pasha and Zahid Ahmed's second on-screen appearance together after Tau Dil Ka Kiya Hua while Zahid also collaborated with Sonya Hussain for the second time after Ishq Zahe Naseeb.[5]

Criticism

After the release of the first and second teaser, the show was heavily criticised for its typical melodramatic story.[6][7] The viewers also called it a copy of the Indian film Judaai[7] to which Pasha clarified and responded that "the show may be inspired but we have our own folktales", and hinted the show was based on Lilan Chanesar by showing the details of the article.[2]
