Fan-favourite director Meesum Naqvi made an appearance in an interview where he answered fan questions such as whether Mayi Ri will have a second season and how Parwarish’s script was developed. “When we created Mayi Ri, beautiful things like Aina and Samar happened,” Naqvi said. “They gathered an insane fan following.” After Mayi Ri, the production house wanted Naqvi to cast Aina Asif and Samar Jafri together again.
Mayi Ri delved into the life of a 15-year-old schoolgirl who is compelled to marry her underage cousin. The show unraveled the devastating consequences of child marriages, which can shatter innocent childhoods forever. On the other hand, Parwarish touches upon the challenges of parenthood and turns the spotlight on the younger generation’s ache for control and independence.
Naqvi shared that he did not want to make Mayi Ri 2. “What would even be the plot of it? There will be no Mayi Ri 2 because I have told a complete story,” clarified the director. Naqvi still wanted to make something with the two of them together, and Parwarish was created.
