The script is based on the novel 'Dhanjyotsna' written by Afsar Ahmed. After Sakhina and Nur's divorce, Sakhina has remarried Kaushik; a man who loves her but has difficulty providing for them and their three children. Nur went on to the Middle East and came back a rich man. He has remarried. Nur and Kaushik are cousins and Nur tries to help Kaushik (and Sakhina) by giving him work and lending him money.
