The show seamlessly integrates dialogues from Kaifi Azmi’s literary works and interviews. Their journey began at a mushaira where Shaukat first encountered Kaifi, leading to a daring move from her father to go to Bombay to observe his modest yet love-filled life. Shaukat’s affection deepened as she witnessed Kaifi’s humble living conditions contrasted with his boundless love.

Despite skepticism from many, Shaukat and Kaifi’s marriage received her father’s blessing and defied all odds, lasting 55 years and beyond.

Shabana Azmi’s portrayal is uniquely authentic, as she witnessed her parents’ love firsthand, embodying Shaukat’s emotions. Kanwaljit Singh aptly captures Kaifi’s transformative journey from a young man with little to becoming a distinguished poet encompassing all the challenges he faced along the way.
