Fans of Mahira Khan and Wahaj Ali got another treat over the weekend as the first teaser for their upcoming drama Mitti De Baway was released on Sunday.
The minute-long teaser, which comes days after the show’s trailer was released on Tuesday, sheds a little more light on their characters’ histories and backgrounds.
Khan’s character, Bilquees (Billo), is shown to belong to an affluent household, which ties in perfectly with her being shown to become a spiritual leader in the trailer; she could have inherited the position.
Ali’s character on the other hand, Iqbal (Baala), is shown to belong to a significantly lower social class, with Billo scornfully remarking in a scene, “He is the son of a mother who plays the garhvi (a small clay pot sometimes played as an instrument).”
He’s shown to be playing the tambourine as his mother performs at a wedding in a flashback.
