Synopsis
Mehru (Ayeza Khan) is a simple and kind-hearted girl from a middle-class family. Shahjahan (Danish Taimoor) is Mehru’s next-door neighbor who has always been respectful of Mehru and her family. In an unfortunate turn of events, on Mehru's wedding day, Shahjahan and his friends casually pass flirtatious remarks for Mehru and joke around. Her husband, Naeem (Ali Abbas), hears their conversation about Mehru and threatens to divorce her because of the malicious intentions of her in-laws. Naeem's aunt, Shakeela, has always been jealous of Naeem's mother, Sakeena, and her family. She tricks Naeem into thinking that Mehru reciprocates feelings for the group of friends. Naeem, furious over what he had heard and guided by the cruel motives of his aunt, divorces Mehru on the first night of their marriage (the wedding night). Mehru tries to tell Naeem that she does not know what he is talking about, nor has she ever had feelings for anyone. Naeem refuses to listen to her and insults her character. Naeem's mother blames him for listening to his aunt and tells him that Mehru is an innocent girl. However, Naeem does not listen and tells his mother to drop Mehru off at her home. The next morning, Naeem's mother apologizes to Mehru and drops her off. Mehru reveals her divorce to her family which leaves them heartbroken. Shahjahan also comes to know of Mehru's divorce and learns that Naeem had listened to the flirtatious comments that he and his friends had jokingly passed for her.
Shahjahan feels guilty and blames himself for Mehru’s condition. He begins to develop feelings for her. The story follows the struggle of Shahjahan and Mehru and if the interplay between love and trust will bring them together or not.[5]
