Danish goes to Pakistan to visit his mother (Shameem Hilali), and agrees to get married to the girl of her choice, Mahi (Sarwat Gillani). When Zinia learns of his marriage, she becomes extremely upset. Meanwhile, she meets Jawad (Imran Abbas), who turns out to be Mahi's cousin. She is almost a decade older than him. They begin to meet frequently, which upsets Danish, and the realization that his wife is immature does not help matters. To make the situation worse, Zinia discovers that Mahi is being blackmailed by someone from her past. Does Mahi manage to salvage her relationship with her husband, or does he end up with Zinia, after all? Does Zinia develop feelings for Jawad?
