Marble), previously titled Daasi, is a Pakistani drama serial that aired on Hum TV from 1 September 2016 to 9 March 2017.
Gulistan's youngest son Aurang was sent to Peshawar University and, unlike his elder siblings, possesses urban and literal views.
Bano is an abusive wife who hates her husband, as she feels she is too beautiful for him (because of her light skin and "pure" Pashtun heritage).
The storylines converge with Gulistan's second son Goher, a womanizer who sets his sights on Durkhanay (Shireen's friend).
She tells Pari that Gulistan's son bought the pranda from her some days ago for someone, and suggests Shireen must be having an affair with him.
Torah's spy lies to Saif-ur-Rehman about Shireen meeting Goher, and in a rage, he leaves to go kill them in the name of honor.
Gulistan and his eldest son, Safiullah, are enraged by Goher's murder and decide to kill Saif-ur-Rehman when they find out that he is the killer.
Shameem reveals to Aurang about Gulistan's past killing of his sister-in-law Rakhi (Torah's mother) because she wore a sari and danced in the rain, which he felt was inappropriate.
Shameem overhears and stops Aurang from taking Gulalai; if Gulistan found out, he would be angry, as he finds the city corrupt.
Gulistan reveals the "mad dog" that he feels is cursing his life, and partakes in the haram practice of usury.
Shameem breaks down at dinner, begging Gulistan to stop taking interest under the guise of business; Aurang wraps all of his father's accounting books with the yellow sheet traditionally laid over someone that has been infected by rabies and burns them.
Pari agrees in order to eliminate the last person who knows the truth about Goher's affair, and when Durkhanay's brother Sharifullah, a laborer from Dubai, arrives, he consents to the proposal.
Shameem slaps her and Bano attacks her with a stick while Aurang, Palwasha, Gulistan Khan, Shamim and Torah quietly watch this happen.
The day after, Torah wants Shireen to wear his mother's sari but she is uncomfortable with the idea and makes excuses.
