Pakistan is launching its first-ever dating reality show, 'Lazawaal Ishq,' hosted by actress Ayesha Omar, which will stream on YouTube for Urdu-speaking audiences worldwide.

The show is an adaptation of the Turkish series 'Aşk Adası,' inspired by international formats like 'Love Island,' and aims to introduce Pakistani viewers to the romantic competition genre.

Teasers depict contestants arriving at a scenic villa with their suitcases, emphasizing the show's luxurious setting and romantic theme.

The show features eight contestants—four men and four women—living together in a luxurious villa in Istanbul, Turkey, with their interactions recorded continuously over approximately 100 episodes.

Inspired by international formats like 'Love Island,' the contestants participate in challenges, games, and form alliances to find love and crown a winning couple.

Due to Pakistan’s strict regulations on on-screen intimacy, 'Lazawaal Ishq' will be released on an OTT platform to allow greater creative freedom and avoid conflicts with PEMRA guidelines.

The show showcases scenic Turkish backdrops, including sailing scenes and the villa's luxurious amenities such as a swimming pool, kitchen, and lawn.

Ayesha Omar will host 'Lazawaal Ishq,' marking a new venture into reality TV for Pakistan, and the show will premiere on YouTube for a global Urdu-speaking audience.

The show aims to create a binge-worthy mix of romance, spectacle, and drama, similar to the impact of 'Love Island' in the UK, and has potential for global appeal given the success of international versions.

Filmed in Istanbul, Turkey, the show centers around finding love through romantic connections, challenges, and emotional storytelling.

Contestants will participate in challenges and form alliances, with the ultimate goal of selecting a 'winning couple,' following the format of global dating shows like 'The Bachelor' and 'Love Island'.

Designed with high production values and dramatic twists, 'Lazawaal Ishq' will balance entertainment with cultural sensitivities tailored for an Urdu-speaking audience.
