Synopsis
Bin Roye is set in Pakistan. It is the story of Saba (Mahira Khan) and the struggles she faces due to being in love with her best friend and cousin Irtaza (Humayun Saeed). From the very first episode it is established that Saba is madly in love with Irtaza, who she has grown up with. It is also established that Irtaza also cares a lot for Saba, and both have a very close bond. Saba is an extrovert, who lives life to the fullest, and expects Irtaza to fulfil all her childish demands. Irtaza happily does everything Saba asks for, and feels happy seeing her happy.
The story starts with Saba and Irtaza celebrating Eid, and enjoying their life in Pakistan. Soon after Irtaza decides to go to America for post-graduate studies. Saba is unhappy hearing about this and gets angry at Irtaza. Irtaza reasons with Saba and tells her that he will return in two years. Saba understands that post-graduate studies is important for his career and agrees for him to go. Irtaza goes to America and whilst studying there develops feelings for his cousin Saman (Armeena Khan).
After completing his studies he comes back to Pakistan and Saba is extremely happy to see him. Soon Saman's parents die in a plane crash, and Saman comes to Pakistan along with Irtaza to her extended family for emotional support, Saba and Irtaza take care of her. Soon Saba learns that Saman is not her cousin, but her elder sister, and that Saman was adopted by her uncle when she was a baby. This fact brings Saba and Saman closer to each other. Both Saman and Saba start sharing a very close sisterly bond. Until one day Saba realises that both Saman and Irtaza have feelings for each other. In spite of loving her sister she cannot help but feel jealousy and anger.
Soon after Saba's realisation, Irtaza proposes marriage to Saman. Saba is heartbroken seeing this, but she collects herself and tries her best to be happy for her best friend and her sister. Saba happily participates in all wedding rituals, however Saba loses all patience when she finally sees Saman and Irtaza making their wedding vows. In the heat of the moment Saba goes off in a separate room and in a state of anger and shock curses Saman and wishes for the fact that she dies! Saba curses Saman and says that Saman should have died in that plane accident with the parents who adopted her, and she can still die! Why did she come here to ruin her life! Saba's Grandmother who is aware of the situation tells Saba to calm down but in vain!
The next morning Saba feels guilty about what she said about Saman, and apologises to her Grandma. After the marriage, Saba keeps a distance from Irtaza, Irtaza notices Saba's behaviour and questions her on a number of occasions. Saba also starts changing from a very full of life person to a very serious person, Irtaza again observes this and does not seem to like this change in her.
After a while Irtaza and Saman go back to America and settle there for sometime. Saman gets pregnant and tells Saba about it, Saba gets very happy about the news and congratulates Saman. Irtaza and Saman decide to call Saba to America. Saba is very hesitant to go and meet them as she still has feelings for Irtaza, she politely declines, but is forced by the family to go and stay with them and help Saman while she is pregnant.
Saba goes to America. Whilst she enjoys the company of her sister, she again feels very helpless, as her feelings for Irtaza do not die. Irtaza's concern for Saba and his friendliness does not help her helplessness either. One day Saba, Saman and Irtaza go to a party, there, a man named Amir (Adnan Malik) develops feelings for Saba. After the party, on a number of occasions the Amir comes over to Irtaza and Saman's place to try and meet Saba. Both Saman and Irtaza are overjoyed, and feel that the guy will be a great match for her. One day Irtaza sits Saba down and asks her if she is interested in marrying the guy, and she can tell him if she has feelings for him, Saba loses her patience and rudely reverts stating that he has no business meddling in her personal life and he should stay away! This behaviour of Saba makes Irtaza upset, for which later Saba also apologises!
Soon Saman delivers a baby boy and Irtaza and her name him Maaz. Saba goes back to Pakistan. A few years pass and Saba does not accept the proposal of Amir, Irtaza feels disappointed, where else Saman tries to understand why Saba does not have any love interest in her life.
Saman and Irtaza go to Pakistan for holidays with Maaz. Saman tells Saba that Amir is now getting married, Saba does not seem concerned and says "congrats," Saman asks Saba about why she did not want to marry him? to which Saba replies "He is not the person she can see her life with!" Soon after she says this it starts raining, and Saba gets excited and carries Maaz out to the rain, and both of them start enjoying dancing in the rain! Saman closely observes Saba enjoying and dancing in the rain, and suddenly it hits her that even Irtaza loves the rain a lot! After which she starts reminiscing and realises that Saba has been in love with Irtaza all this while! Thinking this Saman feels quite guilty!
The next day it is Maaz's birthday, and Irtaza, Saman and Saba go out to the mall to shop for Maaz's birthday party. Irtaza goes inside the mall to buy Maaz's cake, and Saman gets excited seeing flowers, she tells Saba to wait for her in the car and she will get the flowers, Saba stops her and tells her that Irtaza can get the flowers, but she does not listen and heads off, when Saman is returning from getting the flowers she is hit by a car in front of Saba's eyes! Saba runs to Saman to see her covered in blood! Irtaza and Saba call the ambulance. Whilst Saman is being taken to the hospital, she tells Saba that she is sorry, and now both Irtaza and Maaz are hers, when Saba hears this she gets very anxious, and tells the driver of the ambulance to drive faster! However Saman does not survive the hit and run!
Saba is shown to be extremely guilt-ridden and broken down after the accident. She keeps on getting flashbacks of Saman getting rammed in by the car coupled with the voice over of her cursing "she should have died" Saba feels that she is responsible for Saman's death as she cursed her on her wedding. Saba is completely broken but develops a very strong bond with Maaz.
Soon the Grandmother feels that it would be good if Saba marries Irtaza, as this will benefit Irtaza and Maaz, as they are lonely, and it will also benefit Saba since she has always been in love with him. Saba gets very angry hearing this proposal, as she is extremely guilt ridden, and says that she will never marry Irtaza! When Irtaza is asked about the same proposal, he outright rejects it stating that Saba deserves a much better man, and not a man who was married and has a kid, and that he cannot even think like this. Irtaza soon realises that Saba is angry with him due to the proposal, Irtaza talks with Saba and reasons with her! He tells her that he cannot even think of marrying her in his dreams and that he wants the best man for her, and he is not the best, he also says that he loves her a lot, and to not be angry with him! Saba does not seem to care much for what Irtaza says, and says "she is not angry with him" and leaves.
Soon after Saba gets a proposal for marriage. Saba does not care to meet the man in question, and says "yes." Soon Saba is married off to him. On the wedding night the man in question confesses to Saba that he is already married and has a wife and a child in America, and that he married her due to family pressure, and no matter what he can never give her the love and the importance of a wife. Strangely Saba accepts this, and tells him that she is absolutely fine with this arrangement and that she will not be telling her parents about it, which gets the man quite confused. Soon the man leaves for America, leaving Saba behind.
Saba stays back in Pakistan, and Irtaza starts getting concerned about why Saba is not going to America, and why is her visa taking so much time. He confronts Saba about it on a number of occasions but Saba rudely reverts stating that such things take time, and to not interfere in her personal matters. Irtaza's concern for Saba starts growing and he decides to take matters in his own hands, one day he goes to America for a business trip and goes to meet the husband there, where he sees him with his wife and children! Irtaza gets angry seeing this and starts insulting the husband, after which the husband tells Irtaza that Saba always knew about this, and that no one had stopped her from telling you guys! Irtaza gets angry hearing this!
Irtaza goes back to Pakistan and tells the family about Saba's husband 's second wife and children! He confronts Saba and gets angry with her for keeping them in the dark about this! Soon out of family pressure Saba divorces her husband and goes back home! After the divorce Saba becomes even more depressed! Everyone tries to get her out of the depression but in vain! Saba gets extremely bitter with Irtaza, and tells him that she is no longer friends with him and to leave her alone! Irtaza is upset hearing this and tells her that he has always wanted the best for her, so how can she think about him like this?

Hearing this Irtaza gets very angry and tells Saba's father off for even paying heed to such a proposal! Saba's father explains to Irtaza that Saba will not be getting very good proposals anymore as she herself is a divorcee! Irtaza gets upset hearing this! One day Irtaza sees Saba's mother crying and stating what bad did her daughter did, and why is her life so difficult, Irtza hearing this tells Saba's mother that he wants to marry Saba! He also states that he cannot see Saba ruining her life anymore!

One day Irtaza loses his patience and forces Saba to come downstairs to his room. Saba gets furious and tells him off, and tells him that he has no right to humiliate her like this! Irtaza replies that he cannot see the family suffer like this, so please at least for their sake at least pretend to be happy with this marriage! He further tells Saba that she knows him for years, and that she should trust him enough to know that he will never force himself on her, Saba agrees to his request and tells him that she can pretend to be happy with this marriage for the family's sake.
Soon Saba softens and begins to participate in family activities, to the delight of her parents. Irtaza then one day announces that he needs to go to America for a month or two for business. The family tell Irtaza that Saba should also go along with him! Saba tries to protest but in vain!

One evening Irtaza finds Saba sleeping on the couch, he puts a blanket on her and observes her sleeping, soon Saba wakes up, and politely smiles at him, Irtaza looks deep into her eyes and holds her hands, which makes Saba very uncomfortable! Saba walks up to leave, but Irtaza stops her by holding her arm, Saba gets furious and starts shouting at Irtaza! And tells him point blank that she does not want to see his face, and why is that so hard for him to understand? Irtaza gets very hurt and angry hearing this and tells her that after they go back to Pakistan he will make the kind of arrangements that Saba will hardly have to see him at all! He gets angry and leaves, leaving Saba upset and anxious about hurting Irtaza!

As soon as Saba sees Irtaza she starts pushing him, and starts hitting him, she yells at him and says "Where have you been! You told me you will be home by the evening!" Irtaza tries to explain that he met with an accident, Saba gets more hyper after hearing this and says "All of you guys are planning to leave me, first Saman left and now even you are planning to leave me, all of you guys want to leave me here all alone!" She gets hyper and starts shoving him, Irtaza loses his cool and holds her and shouts "I am going nowhere! I am here with you!"

Production
Development
In 2013, it was announced that a drama series is being developed based on Farhat Ishtiaq's novel Bin Roye Ansoo, before the project went into development hell for almost half an year.[6] It was later revealed that Bin Roye will be released as a theatrical film and later on as TV series.[7] Actor Humayun Saeed who played the lead role in film revealed, "Bin Roye is a romantic drama. But it will not just be a film; it will also be turned into a serial to be aired on Hum TV with the same cast."[8]
In July 2015, after the release of film,[9][10] the drama serial went into production with same cast and crew, with Haissam Hussain replacing Momina Duraid as a co-director with Shahzad Kashmiri. Farhat Ishtiaq wrote the screenplay for series, changing several plot details in contrast to film. In an interview she explained, "Bin Roye the drama has the same cast as in the movie, but things which were not included in movie from the novel will be seen in drama. The shoot is done and most probably will on air somewhere between April and July of this year."[11] This became the Farhat's second consecutive collaboration with Duraid in a year and seventh over all, she recently worked on Diyar-e-Dil (2015)[12][13] and Udaari (2016),[14] which were the highest-rated and critically acclaimed serials.[15][16]
In June 2016, it was confirmed that Shiraz Uppal would compose music for series, who also composed three songs for film adaptation. In August 2016, Ishtiaq announced that series would replace, her then running series Udaari and confirmed earlier saying "the play will air this year as the last edits are under process."[17]
Casting
All the cast members from the film reprise their roles, with Humayun Saeed returning in role of Irtaza, Mahira Khan as Saba and Armeena Rana Khan reprise her role as Saman.[1][18] Initially it was circulated that Fawad Khan and Sanam Baloch has replaced Saeed and Rana in lead roles, before being confirmed by Duraid in August, 2016 that no changes has been made in cast. Describing his role differences from film, Humayun said, "there’s already a lot of difference between film and TV. In 2 and half hours, we already have to show a very large story in a limited time in a film, but when it comes to television, we personally like the way the story is narrated. Thus, the progression is completely different; you will get to see a lot that you weren’t able to see before. You will find a lot more depth in a few characters, plus, a lot more answers to those unanswered questions. Of course, in a series of 20 episodes, a lot changes."[19] While Khan expressed, "It's not really different. Well, there's a whole new track in it which wasn’t in the original, so that’s new (Laughs)! Saba is the same, I mean, the variation you would see is that you will see a lot more shades to her. Of course, Bin Roye was just 1 hour and 58 minutes, so you will get to see a lot more intricacies in this."[20][21]
