Humsafars is more melodrama /fictional while ZGH is typical daily routine & very natural so far what I watched

if it wasnt for Harsad. i wouldnt even watch Humsafars.

Humsafars with lots of suspense And lots of secrets and on other side ZGH was real life story it's different and ya dome similarities are there but HUMSAFARS is totally different as from SAHIR character to ARZOO character and other character too
Sahir is completely different from zaroon SANJIDA HAI RESERVED HAI LOTS OF LONLYNESS AND THE BEST PART WAS HE IS SHAYAR and ARZOO is also different bubbly at the same time she is tough at heart

And one more point zaroon was like ZINDAGI KO CELEBRATION SAMJHATA THA I MEAN USKE LIYE ZINDAGI KA HAR PAL GULZAR THA and on other side our very own SAHIR ki soch ZINDAGI MEIN KHUSHIYOON KI DASTAK NA THI BEBASI MEIN RANHA SA HOON PHIR YEH ZINDAGI GULZAR KAISI
so I'm not saying you are wrong but still humsafars is an different outline about two different mentality peoples

All i can say is that sahir(harshad chopra) & zaroon(Fawad khan) are both heart robs *wink wink* ;) jokes apart yeah the characters are a little similar but I'm sure the story will be way different.

probably because ZGH was short not like indian show that go for a while. and unfortunately as much as i like ZGH i did get bored watching at different points, overall it was a nice show but was missing something.
humsafars is well fictional/drama, not full on real life, which is fine, i want to watch some fictional stuff,dramatics, romance and the characters journey all that shabang, yeah they have a little similarity or inspiration but humsafars is different enough . i think vivirti said it well so i'll leave it at that. im really enjoying humsafars and am watching it because of that.

I agree it has similarities with ZGH...but Humsafars in all which ways is more interesting. I'm loving the lead pair and Sahir -Aarzoo's developing chemistry..I'm really starting to enjoy the show much more than i expected. i wish it had a Friday episode too!

Except Naushin and Sarfaraz I dare to compare ZGH with Humsafars.

ZGH is one of the high rated drama whereas so far what I witnessed in Humsafar is full of mystery and kartoon of Kurti apa.

So full of bakwas...

i know. thats why i was very careful about not mentioning anything about the story. i only focused on characters.
i think if the story is good then we do not need any crazy characters like that unbearable nanny. they could use that screen space with Sahir

The similarities would be 1) both are muslim romcoms 2) The female lead has issues with her father who has a second wife and left her mother as she couldn't bear him a son. Other than that ZGH is a classic and more realistic. Not fair to compare both. I do like humsafars, harshad and Zaki. But ZGH was something else.
