Tere Bin becomes first Pakistani drama to cross 6 billion YouTube views

ISLAMABAD: Tere Bin has reportedly crossed 6 billion views on YouTube, becoming the first Pakistani drama ever to reach the milestone — more than three years after its finale, and with its pull on audiences showing no sign of fading.

Starring Wahaj Ali as Murtasim and Yumna Zaidi as Meerab, the drama premiered on Geo Entertainment on 28 December 2022 and wrapped up on 6 July 2023 after 58 episodes. The story of Murtasim and Meerab won over millions of viewers not only in Pakistan but in India and Bangladesh as well, where Pakistani dramas command a large following.

A record that keeps growing
Tere Bin had already made history once, as the first Pakistani serial to cross 5 billion views. Its first episode alone has passed 100 million views on YouTube, and its finale became the first by a Pakistani drama to do the same on a single video. The show was produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asad Qureshi under 7th Sky Entertainment and directed by Siraj-ul-Haque.

But Tere Bin 2 is still up in the air
For all the celebration, fans are still waiting on the sequel. Tere Bin 2 was announced in 2023, yet nearly three years on, filming has not begun. Recent reports suggest Geo Entertainment and 7th Sky Entertainment have parted ways, leaving the sequel’s future uncertain, and neither the makers nor the lead actors have offered an official update. For now, viewers are celebrating the record — and hoping Murtasim and Meerab return to their screens.
