Plot

[edit]

This serial depicts a complicated yet a very beautiful love story between two persons who belong to entirely different family backgrounds. Gaiti (Hira Salman), a carefree and cheerful girl, belongs to a wealthy family while Badar (Affan Waheed), a mature guy, has a middle-class family background. He works as Geeti's father's manager and often visits their home where he secretly falls in love with her. However, Geeti is interested in her childhood friend Sameer (Haroon Shahid). Due to some unfavourable situations and misunderstandings by her step-mother and others, Geeti is forced into marriage with Badar. Apparently, it is in favour of Badar but Geeti is extremely unhappy with this marriage. Despite Geeti's ignorance, Badar stands by her in all difficulties and keeps loving her more and more. But Geeti finds it difficult to adjust in a family and home of lower financial status even as she tries her best. She moves to her real mother's place where she gets a lot of love but is thrown out when her mother dies. Badar goes and gets her back though she had desserted him. She moves back to her father's place and Sameer comes back when his misunderstandings are cleared. But Geeti is now committed to Badar even though they have misunderstandings. The twists of circumstances eventually turn this forced marriage into a successful one and bring together the hearts of two.
