Plot

Saira and her mother, Farah face a lot of abuse from her cantankerous paternal grandmother and step-mother, Tehmina. Though, her half-sister, Kiran is very kind with the both of them. Saira's father, Waleed has two wives, having one daughter with each: Saira, who is his first wife's daughter and Kiran, who is his second wife's daughter. Saira's father also has two younger sisters and each of them have a son. His first sister, Sabra, has a son named Zulqarnain "Nain", a former PAF Flight Lieutenant, who is now visually impaired. His younger sister, Asma, has a son named Nehat, who developed feelings for Saira. Saira too has feelings for him. On the other hand, Kiran develops feelings for Nehat, but Nehat does not feel the same way. Even though Saira treats Nain as a brother, she harbors mild feelings for him yet Nain does loves Saira. However, the family doesn't approve of Saira and Nehat being together and as a result, Nehat gets engaged to Kiran. On the mehndi night of Kiran and Nehat, Nehat snatches the gun from the guard and runs off with Saira. Asma, Tehmina and her mother-in-law blame Farah for this. Nain then takes action against Nehat and gets Saira back. Once Saira has been found and returns safely, Nain beats Nihat to the point that he is hospitalized. Tehmina and Ama Ji were about to visit Nehat in hospital but Waleed forbids them from doing so and decides to cut all ties with Asma. Tehmina blames Saira for this. Soon, Waleed decides to marry Saira off with Nain to save her honor. However, Saira doesn't approve of this relationship as she thinks her father is trying to get rid of her by getting her married to a blind person. When Nehat finds out about this, he goes mad. However, Saira also develops feelings for Nain and the couple lives a good and loving life. Nehat starts stalking Saira and causes disputes to arise in Saira and Nain's relationship. Meanwhile, Waleed's younger brother Asghar had been missing for 20 years and they had all blamed Farah since then. It had been revealed that he was in coma for 15 years in hospital. He had been found and returned home safely. Asghar helps Farah clean her name and let her regain her honor. Nehat marries Kiran but is actually still obsessed with Saira. One night when Nehat goes into Saira's house, Nain discovers him and tries to kill him but Saira stops him from doing so, which makes Nain think that she had been having an affair with Nehat. Nain distrusts Saira and kicks her out. That leads to a big drama with the drop scene of Nehat being alone and a cripple in one leg due to a fight gone wrong with Nain and his divorce from Kiran. Nehat's parents move to Islamabad due to his father's new job but Nehat did not want to go leaving Saira so decides to stay behind. Nain and Saira patch up their differences and live happily ever after.
