Nida is a girl with a lot of dreams; she wants to travel around the world, write poetry and live carefree. Unfortunately, she has a lot of responsibilities. She lives with a physically challenged father, mentally disturbed mother, and a strict Tayi Ammi; and to top it all up, she has a Phupo too who wants Nida to marry as soon as possible. Nida has other plans though. During her trip to Nepal, she meets Sikander, called Sikki, who shares the same passions as Nida. He lives with his aunt, Mehtab. Mehtab has raised Sikander like her own son as Sikander’s parents had died while he was very young. Mehtab’s daughter, Shama is interested in Sikander and believes he will marry her one day. But Sikki's heart lies elsewhere and the feelings are reciprocated. One day, Sikki calls Shama to meet him so he can tell her that he doesn't wants to marry her and that she is mistaken that he loves her. Sikki is very nervous because he considers Shama his best friend and does not want to hurt her. He tells Shama to sit in the car but before he can tell her anything, Shama sees flowers across the road and runs to buy them but gets hit by a car and gets physically disabled. After her accident, Sikki feels guilty and thinks that whatever happened to Shama is because of him. He starts to take care of Shama and tells his aunt Mehtab that he will marry Shama. In the meantime, arrangements have been made for Nida to marry her cousin. Will true love find its way?
was cast for the character of Sikandar, an aspiring photographer. In early January 2016, describing his role Malik said, "I read a bunch of scripts, there was also interest from across the border but nothing clicked quite like Gypsy." He further said "I play the role of Sikander, who's an aspiring photographer, a part of him that resonates with me because that's what peaked my interest in the arts when my father bought me my first camera. He's a very rugged, outdoorsy kinda guy, very different from Khalil. There's just this lightness to him. So the show revolves around this guy who's a bit of a wanderer and his equation with two ladies, a non-traditional love triangle of sorts." It was later announced that actress Sanam Saeed had replaced Mawra Hocane. Saeed, speaking about Gypsy, said "Basically I was offered the script initially, but I couldn't do it back then. However, later when Mawra got caught up with something else and I was available, I signed the project,”. “I hadn't done easy-breezy love stories previously, so Gypsy offered something new.”. She further went on to say that "My character is of a girl who's a gypsy at heart. She's a wanderer and a free spirit. She is very much attached to her parents and unlike other characters in the serial, she doesn't retaliate. Her parents are very supportive, and even when she disagrees, she understands their point. So there's no struggle; it doesn't have any heavy moral or drama. There is a little bit of conflict, but no negativity or a bechari of any sort." and "Mohsin Gilani plays my father's character, whereas the brilliant Hina Bayat will be essaying my mother's role. She has always been known for her versatile characters, and her role in Gyspy is also something completely different from what she has done previously," she commented. "It also has a strong supporting cast; we have Madiha Rizvi, Samina Ahmed and Munawar Siddiqui as well.".
