The head of the family, Great Peer, marries Amna, who becomes pregnant, but her child is killed.
He marries Naseem who is incapable, and finally he marries Bari Sarkar, who gives birth to a boy named Shahaab, while Amna and Naseem are treated as living deadbodies wearing only a white suit.
Maira at first rejects because of the family principle, which makes Amna and Naseem happy.
Fatima manipulates the situation in such a way that Shahaab starts doubting Maira.
He returns, but Maira faints, so he goes back and doesn't come till 1 am.
Yasmeen comes and threatens Maira by saying that she is just pregnant and there is no full guarantee that she will give birth to this child.
Bari Sarkar sees her laptop as an audio clip is opened, and she presses the Play Button.
She learns of Peer Jalal's lies and tells Shahaab to pick Maira.
Yasmeen's jealousy is increased so much that she asks for divorce from Shahaab, but he doesn't give her one.
Shahaab gets a call, and he and Yasmeen go to the hospital where it is revealed that Bari Sarkar, not Maira, was fatally struck by the bullet.
The role of Sania Saeed was appreciated and was nominated thrice while Sakina Samo left an everlasting impact on the minds of the people.
