Plot
Hamna (Ramsha Khan) and Rumi are sisters raised by overprotective parents. Hamna is quiet, peaceful and reserved while Rumi is carefree, outgoing and talkative, but both love their father dearly. Hamna and her college classmate Hamza (Feroze Khan) are madly in love. Hamna is hesitant to tell her father that she is in love as he doesn't believe in love marriages. Due to her father's sickness Hamna agrees to marry her father's friend's son Azeem (Gohar Rasheed) leaving Hamza heartbroken. Hamza reaches Hamna's house with his parents to ask for Rumi's hand for marriage as an act of revenge. Their father agrees as he wants to see his daughters married before he dies.
