[1] The lead cast included Shamim Ara, Mohammad Ali, Darpan, Lehri, and Zamurrad.

[1][2] Saiqa is considered as one of the best performances of Ara,[3] winning her a Nigar Award for Best Actress also.

[2] The protagonist of the film is Saiqa, a twenty-year-old orphan girl who lives in a palace with her grandmother, aunts, and uncle.

Her distant aunt Anjum Ara, who visits occasionally, and her uncle Fakhr, who does not overtly express his affection for her because of his wife, are the only people who truly adore her.

The superstitious adults with hate-filled hearts have misled Rehan and other kids in the palace into thinking that Saiqa's presence is a curse.
