Episode 18 aired last night which was coloured in the shades of election. The viewers got to see the real Fazal Bakhsh played by Ali Gul Mallah raising election awareness alongside the pretend Fazal Bakhsh aka Shahmeer, played by Bilal Abbas Khan.
Fazal Bakhsh subtly hinted on how the upcoming elections will go while also shared how voting for the wrong candidates is an insult to the whole nation. Here is how fans are reacting to election messaging in Ishq Murshid:
The drama which means ‘Love Guide’ features an upper-class boy named Shahmir, played by Bilal Abbas Khan, a rich son of a famous politician, who falls in love with a working-class girl named Shibra, played by Durefishan Saleem, who is confident and determined, contrary to the stereotype of Pakistani girls on its head.
