Synopsis
The drama is based on strained relations between Pakeeza (Aamina Sheikh) and Jibran (Alyy Khan). They have a daughter, Kiran, who is irritated by Jibran torturing Pakeeza day after day. Jibran has a sister, Naima (Angeline Malik), who is married to Ahmer (Khaled Anam) and has a daughter, Shehzadi/Maham. Kiran likes Shehzadi and her parents more than her parents.

Plot
The drama revolves around the woman, Pakeeza (Aamina Sheikh), who is a painter and housewife. Her paintings are good, and she is awarded many times in the media because of her talent. She is married to Jibran (Alyy Khan), a misogynist, who doesn't care about his wife and beats her lot because he is jealous of her fame. Pakeeza has a daughter, Kiran, who is depressed because of her parents' fights. Pakeeza is the best friend of Naima (Angeline Malik), who later became her sister-in-law as Naima's brother Jibran came into her life.
