Akbari Asghari is a 2011 Pakistani comedy-drama television series loosely based on Nazir Ahmad Dehlvi's Mirat-ul-Uroos.

A modern-day comical adaptation of the novella, the series was written by Faiza Iftikhar and directed by Haissam Hussain.

Sanam Baloch and Humaima Malik played the titular Akbari and Asghari respectively with Imran Abbas and Fawad Khan as the male leads.

When Hatim and Kulsoom ask the sisters to marry Akbar and Asghar, Asghari blatantly refuses, whereas Akbari agrees to be in the good books of her parents.

But in the village, Akbar does not agree to marry Akbari, as he wants a religious wife and thinks his cousins are ultra-modern.

In America, Akbar also slowly befriends Asghari but is upset when he sees her with her friend Raj, a Hindu Indian whom he mistakes for her boyfriend.

The furious Shabbo vows to revenge Asghar for betraying her and tries to take every opportunity possible to make it look like he is cheating on Akbari with her.

On receiving the proposal from Akbar, Asghari sees it as an opportunity to be closer to her sister and grant her justice and thus agrees, much to the surprise of her family.

To show Akbar the truth, Asghari goes to the peer with a problem, and on seeing her beauty, he calls her to meet him at night.

Akbar finally realizes the truth about the fraud and confesses to Asghari that he loves her, to which she admits she reciprocates.
