Plot
The series tells the story of a miserable couple named Saim and Haleema. Saim does not like his wife, Haleema and never loses any opportunity to humiliate her. An egoistic, frustrated husband and wife with a never-give-up spirit, Yahan Pyar Nahi Hai is going to set all your relationship doubts to rest. Saim, the self-important husband, is played by Junaid Khan.
Saba Qamar portraying a loving and honest wife, Haleema. The show in the initial stage moves on with the daily arguments between Saim and Haleema. Saim being a doctor is a high-end individual contrary to his wife Haleema who is backward and finds it difficult to keep up with trends. Saim never respects Haleema and belittles her by behaving rudely. All of this messed up their lives, even more, when her cousin Shumaila joins them, portrayed by Mawra Hocane, and only to fan the flame.
Shumaila is one beautiful, young and intelligent (read cunning) girl who lures Saim in her love. Despite a disdained past, Saim fell for her and was unable to see her through the veil, only later when he saw her with her ex. The show has an intense and intriguing drama where Saim does not bat an eye on Haleema, continuously humiliating her belittling her. Haleema, on the contrary, is a woman of vows, honesty, and determination. She tries all she could, to make up with Saim, but fails miserably. Later, Haleema discovers her talent and copes up to the advanced society-contrary to her past where she was just a school pass out who was unable to match modern trends.
To sum it all, the story ends in a much-expected way - the honest one gets respect and the dishonest loses - it keeps the viewer glued to it. Nowhere has the show tapped the viewer's uninteresting nerve, but rather came out with real intense drama and a well-portrayed plot. The final episode, being the hammer on the nail-head, sums it all pretty well when retaliation and introspection come in. It is here that Saim realizes his mistakes.{{Cite web |url=http://www.tv.com.pk/tvshow/Yahan-Piyar-Nahi-Hai/50/story |title=Yahan Piyar Nahi Hai Story, Wiki & Details |date=28 July 2024 }}{{Cite web |url=http://www.dramapakistani.net/yahan-pyar-nahin-hai-the-finale/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121001032959/http://www.dramapakistani.net/yahan-pyar-nahin-hai-the-finale/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=1 October 2012 |title=Yahan Pyar Nahin Hai – The Finale! |website=Dramapakistani.net}}
