That's why Nasir considers her as unlucky and does not accept her daughters wholeheartedly. Bushra is determined to do all the jobs that a son can do and her mother is hopeful too about her that one day she will become a supporter of her father.
After her elder sister Fiza's divorce and at the wedding preparations of another sister, to support her father she applies for a loan in her office but the request was rejected.
