There are many other dramas that need praises but in this blog we only consider popular dramas that gain popularity due to their strong script.
Some other dramas Tere Bin, Mere Humsafar, kesi teri khudgharzi, pyar k sadqe, deewangi, khuda or muhabbat, fitoor, rang mehal, and many more have gained best TRP but according to me their script was week and they just drag the episodes to gain TRPs. Also this list is my opinion during the last five years of dramas.
