Plot

Nafisa Akhtar is a middle-class widow with limited means intending to marry her daughters Madiha and Maliha off at the earliest. While the elder Madiha is reticent, sensible and intelligent, Maliha is arrogant, rude and selfish. Eventually, rich and handsome Shahriyaar comes into their lives. Maliha crushes upon him, but he chooses to marry Madiha, leaving Maliha devastated and bitter. Maliha marries her colleague and suitor for several years, Humayun.

Maliha, who is career oriented, chooses to have an abortion to end her pregnancy, causing a divorce. Meanwhile, Shahriyaar, who seeks warmth and companionship, feels suffocated in a passionless marriage with Madiha, who has preoccupied herself with the responsibilities of motherhood and household chores.

Madiha, seeing Maliha homeless after the demise of their mother, decides to offer refuge to her at her own house, Maliha taking advantage of this opportunity seduces Shahriyaar, who divorces Madiha to tie the knot with Maliha.

However, romance soon dies down in their marriage as Maliha's true colors begin to show. Ultimately, Shahriyaar chooses to get Maliha institutionalized and repursue Madiha, but Madiha, whom a career has given renewed confidence, proudly announces that she does not need a man to live now and would by no means return to Shahriyaar.
