Sometimes, love starts with a promise—and ends in silence. Shikwa, ARY Digital’s latest drama, is a deeply emotional story about love, betrayal, and the unexpected turns life can take. At the heart of it is a girl who just wants to be loved… and a man who believes in commitment. But fate? It has other plans.
Sania, played by Maria Malik, is just 22, but her world is already complicated. She comes from a wealthy home, but not a happy one. Sensitive and kind-hearted, she’s quick to trust and always searching for connection—especially the kind she’s never truly felt at home.
Sami Khan takes on the role of Zaroon—a mature, serious-minded man from a humble background. He’s the kind of person who values relationships and doesn’t take love lightly. When Sania and Zaroon enter into an arranged marriage, neither knows just how much their lives are about to change.
Is love enough when the world around you is full of chaos?
Yashma Gill plays Kiran, a woman who knows what she wants—and isn’t afraid to manipulate her way to the top. She comes from a struggling family, but she’s not letting that stop her. Ambitious, clever, and dangerous, Kiran is ready to play any game if it gets her closer to her goals.
Then there’s Faseeh, played by Asim Mehmood—a spoiled rich boy who’s all about the spotlight. With charm and money on his side, he loves attention… especially from girls. But there’s more to his presence in the story than just fun and flirting.
Shikwa isn’t just about one love story—it’s about families, heartbreak, and how the people closest to us can be the ones who hurt us most.
With a powerhouse cast including Javed Sheikh, Atiqa Odho, Usman Peerzada, Nida Mumtaz, Saife Hasan, and many more, the drama paints a vivid picture of class divides, broken homes, and the resilience of the human heart.
