Since its first episode which aired last Sunday, Yumna Zaidi starrer Bakhtawar has become the talk of the town.
The viewers liked the drama from its first teaser as it featured Zaidi in the leading role, however, now, the audience is amazed how the drama series has showcased a real-life incident in its second episode which aired last night.
Last night, with the scene where Bakhtawar gets a job as the bus hostess, the scene showed Parveen being killed by a man as she went off home after work. This incident happened in Faisalabad when Mahwish Arshad, a bus hostess was killed by Umar Daraz, a security guard working for the same company for refusing his marriage proposal.
