As soon as the women finish college, they are married off to be come stay at home wives aka housewives.

Not one female character works. I am not sure why..

I've not seen a lot of pak dramas but some of the ones that I have seen have working women 😆

sanam jung's character in dil e muztar works and so does sanam saeed's characters in mera naseeb and mata e jaan.

And how can we forget Kashaf who remains a career woman till d end of the drama. Actually in both dil e muztar and mera naseeb, both Sanam's work due to their situation in life, but it's in ZGH that they show the female lead as a career woman out of choicelater on, and not due to the situation.

yes, how can I forget kashaf 😳

sanam's character in mata e jaan was great tho. she didn't work due to her situation either. in fact her parents were rich in the drama so she worked out of choice. and she was earning more money than her husband.

then her husband used and abused her so she kicked him out, made sure she took all his money, and got him sent to jail 😎 😆

I should have rephrased my statement. In Pakistani dramas, most of the women born to rich families or women married to someone from a rich family don't work, but people from relatively poorer families sometimes do.

Kashaf from ZGH came from a lower middle class family, so she had to work to secure her financial future. But, neither Sara nor Asmara from ZGH work to best of my recollection.

Sara from Humsafar is never shown working, but is shown constantly plotting to get Asher back. 😆

Thank you for your loving hug , is it ? 😊I am fine . Its long time . Haven't seen the seven course meal in rich families even, either i missed that shows. I find the meals normal . Like the crockery and interiors if showing rich family that i agree . Its long time haven't seen the houses of the middle class with courtyard , trees , plants , something very natural . I found it amusing when in the starting found Samosa, gulab Jamun , halwa puri . Never realized that its only 67-68 years . Naturally eatables will be same kind . 😊

The clothes and the make up... I heart the salwars that they wear. Looks so comfy. I remember when i was in amritsar and shopping, the shopkeeper told me that the best clothing material comes from Pak and their quality is unprecedented😳! I wish i could go to pak and buy some!😆 I like how they don't pay much attention to looking technically good all the time. No makeup and pretty salwars!👍🏼

And Chai ..ZGH has hooked me onto chai!😳😆

And oh yes, the houses are so beautiful with i think almost every household having a beautiful garden outside. The interiors are fab!

@ Bold - Now dat u mention, I remember when I was very small my mom used to say that her Mausi who used to stay in Karachi used to send materials from there and there was a craze for Pak materials. But later the whole family shifted to US and that was the end of that!

Last year I had gone to Dubai and dey have this area where there r lots of Indian and Pakistani stores and the Pak stores had beautiful dress material collections.😳
