However, the younger son, Sultan, thinks differently and chooses the bold and confident Soha as his wife.

Born Balwant Kaur, Bilqees is a converted Muslim who is shown to follow the religion but goes to the Gurudwara once a week to pray for her late parents.

He is shown to be attracted to his boss Liz at the start and proposes to her, but she believes in cohabiting over marriage.

[3] Peeno is married to Sultan's older brother Inayat (also her first cousin) and works tirelessly in Bilquees' restaurant without recognition.

He is a nighttime taxi driver in New York and has little feelings for his wife Peeno and does nothing for her when his mother beats her up occasionally.

The series received critical acclaim with major praise towards the script and Ansari's performance and character.
