Production

The project was first announced by Saleem through his Instagram account.[6]

The series is written by Saji Gul who previously write for O Rangreza and directed by Syed Ahmed Kamran who previously directed crime thriller Phaans.[7]

In conversation with Dawn Images, Gul said that the drama's theme tackles the issue of misogyny. "It will be about how the mind of a man is moulded within a patriarchal system, how he is taught that a woman is inherently evil, how the man starts seeing all relationships in a negative light and as a burden, how he sees a woman as a deceiver," he said.

Speaking about the series' title he said, "Normally the terms Ibn-e-Adam (son of Adam) or Bint e Hawwa (daughter of Eve) are used. However, [we tend to forget] the son of Adam is also the son of Eve, he doesn't just descend from Adam alone."[8]

The initial teasers were released on 21 January 2022.[7]

Reception

A reviewer from The News praised the storyline of the series and lauded the Saleem's performance as Aaliya and called it, "a breath of fresh air".[9]

The serial started with a TRP of 7.8 [10]
