Minal Khan has said that her ongoing drama Jalan, which made headlines for its controversial storyline is ‘forever special’.
Sharing the poster of the drama on social media, Minal said: “Forever special. Forever grateful.”
In an earlier post, the actor said that she misses playing Nisha.
Jalan had gained attention for its problematic storyline which followed a woman Nisha flirting and later marrying her own brother-in-law Asfandyar. Minal plays Nisha in the drama, who is a selfish girl and wants everything her sister Misha (Areeba Habib) has. Misha, on the other hand, dotes on her sister and will do anything that will make Nisha happy. Nisha gets engaged to her cousin Ahmer (Fahad Sheikh) who loves her intensely but after her engagement, Misha gets married to the super-rich and handsome Asfandyar (Emmad Irfani).
Nisha, seeing her sister’s expensive gifts and big house breaks her own engagement with Ahmer, accusing him of physically abusing her and playing the victim in front of Asfandyar to gain his sympathy.
Meanwhile, Misha finds out she is pregnant but totally oblivious to her sister’s evil plans, invites her into her home to stay for a while. Nisha continues to estrange her sister from Asfand, luring him into liking her and finally succeeding. Asfandyar divorces Misha, who goes into premature labour and delivers a baby boy. Nisha, on the other hand, runs away from home and pushes Asfi to marry her asap. When Misha finds out that her sister is marrying her ex-husband, she lights herself on fire and dies. Nisha does not regret any of her actions and tries to secure her husband’s wealth.
In September, the drama was banned by PEMRA over ‘immoral content’ but the ban was later suspended by the Sindh High Court (SHC).
Directed by Aabis Raza, Jalan has been penned by Sidra Sehar Imran and produced by Fahad Mustafa and Dr Ali Kazmi under the banner of Big Bang Productions.
