Noor Jehan, the matriarch of the family, is struggling to maintain control over her household after her daughter-in-law Sumbul left. Noor Jehan's son, Safeer, has secretly married another woman, Maha, and they have a child together. Noor Jehan wants Sumbul to return home, but Sumbul has started a new life and is determined not to go back.
Meanwhile, Noor Jehan's other son, Hunaid, is trying to manage the household and his wife Safina, who is ill and unable to do household chores. Hunaid hires a maid to help with the chores, which Noor Jehan disapproves of.
