Talkhiyaan (English: Bitterness) is a 2013 Pakistani drama serial written by Bee Gul and directed by Khalid Ahmed.^[1] It highlights a stereotypical mentality of men that live by their ancestral pride and deep-rooted notions of a caste system. It depicts the frustrations of a mother, wife and daughter provoked by society.^[2][3]

Sanam Saeed,^[4] Summer Nicks and Mehak Khan play the lead roles.

It is based on The God of Small Things, a semi-autobiographical novel by Indian author Arundhati Roy, which won the Booker Prize in 1997. The storyline in the series is the same as that of the novel although the names of the characters are changed (Ammu is Bibi, Rahel is Zoya, Estha is Jugnoo etc.) The series was aired on Zindagi under the title Kisi Ki Khatir from 30 June 2015.
