After his death, Samiya marries Basharat (Ali Abbas), a young guy who works with Samia and lives with his widowed sister-in-law, Amtul (Javeria Abbasi) and nephew, Salman (Zuhab Khan). A little while after their wedding Salman dies. After his death, Basharat feels bad for his sister-in-law, Amtul and decides to marry her. This time, again it becomes difficult for Samia to pursue her marital life due to Amtul's interference and she decides to leave Basharat, disappointing her mother. She also loses her job because the restaurant shuts down and she is forced to search for a new job. It is very difficult for her to hold onto any job because she is harassed wherever she goes, so she decides to open her own restaurant and succeeds in it. A new guy named Uzair (Danial Afzal Khan) comes into her life and asks her to marry him but she rejects him as she sees his flirting nature with another woman.

Reception

Critical reception

Writing for Dawn Images, Sadaf Haider praised the Ghisi Piti Mohabbat and ranked it as the best serial of the year.[8] She wrote, "Despite its cynical title, Ghissi Pitti Mohabbat could easily have been a great romance—the kind that bets on a flip of a coin as the characters learn what is truly valuable in life."[1]

A reviewer from Daily Times praised the Ramsha Khan's character and performance, the serial's writing, execution and its multiple genres stating, "The show is a sweet combo of comedy and quirkiness with romance, melodrama, family dynamics, and societal norms splashed across the story. It is equal parts sweet, heartfelt, funny to laugh out loud hilarious in most scenes, and the show’s narrative is fresh, gripping, and thoroughly entertaining."[9]

At annual ARY People's Choice Awards, Fasih Bari Khan won the Favourite writer, Saba Faisal won the Favourite Actress in a role of Maa and Ramsha Khan won Favourite Actress Awards. [10]
