Aakhri Station

Written by Amna Mufti, it is directed and co-produced by Khoosat with Roshaneh Zafar of Kashf Foundation Productions and Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

The show introduced an ensemble cast with Sanam Saeed, Nimrah Bucha, Malika Zafar, Anam Goher, Eman Suleman, Ammara Butt and Farah Tufail portraying seven strangers with different economic, social and cultural backgrounds suffering from domestic and mental issues, meeting on a train compartment en route to Karachi.

The show aims to explore women-eccentric subjects that its creator feel have not been emphasized in Pakistani shows openly, such as women's rights, drug abuse, HIV, PTSD, acid attacks, forced prostitution, and domestic violence.

The trans woman was being insulted in another compartment, whereupon an old conductor intervened and told the culprit to fear God, as He created all and that all people have a right on the land.

Back in the main compartment, the lady in the saree, Tehmina, commented on the various new colours of nail polish, causing Yasmin, who was wearing turquoise on one hand, to say "i hate this, it's not coming off".

It is revealed that Yasmin belonged to a very poor family, and lived with her parents in law and husband, Waqar, who would not work.

He stole Yasmin's gold earrings, which her mother had gifted her before she died, sold them, and lost all the money in a bet.

Gul Meena was very nearly due, and had left her village with her husband, Yousuf, and in laws, to escape war.

She too had left to flee the war, but while she was asleep, a man got into her tent and snatched her only family, a young daughter.

Yousuf talked his father into travelling to the next camp with Ma Gul and brother, Younas, while he himself would take his wife to the city to visit the doctor.

Some time later, while going for the Fajr prayer, Yousuf suffered a sudden heart attack, and died before he could be rushed to a doctor.

Ma Gul, who already disliked her daughter in law as it was, began to loathe her, accuse her of Yousuf's death, and curse her.

After the nikkah, the man refused to take in Rustum Khan, and Gul Meena was forcibly taken inside, empty handed.

Sajjad didn't earn enough to be able to singly support his family, and, because of his own insecurities and shortcomings, began to accuse Farzana of working just to "spend time with other men".
