Plot

Roshni is the obedient, good-natured and responsible daughter of Wajahat Ali and Khadija who sacrifices her love for Rayan in favor of the husband chosen for her by her parents. When Wajahat passes away in an unexpected accident, Roshni’s estranged grandfather Hashmat Ali becomes her guardian. Advised by Safia, Wajahat’s sister who secretly resented her brother for her own failed marriage, Hashmat cancels Roshni’s upcoming marriage. Respectful of her grandfather and wanting to heal her family’s old differences, Roshni sacrifices her own choice once again and agrees to marry Umar, the son of the family’s munshi.

Instead of being embraced as a family member, things go from bad to worse for Roshni when she and her husband are treated extremely poorly by her spiteful aunt and her daughter Rania. Will Roshni continue to suffer at the hands of her own grandfather and aunt? Will Rayan, Roshni’s cousin end up marrying Rania? Or will Roshni be able to get her life back on track somehow and overcome the obstacles that have been put in her path by her very own family? Or will she back down?
