Plot

edit

Heer (Madiha Imam) is an educated young woman from a small village with progressive views on women's autonomy. With support from Gaity Ara (Seemi Pasha), an NGO worker, she sets up a handicraft centre in the village to help local women earn an independent income. Her efforts meet with resistance from several of the village's men, who view the initiative as a challenge to the existing social order and organise opposition against her. Facing increasing hostility, Heer eventually leaves the village for the city, parting from her love interest Ibrahim (Asad Siddiqui), the Chaudhry's nephew. The later episodes follow her adjustment to urban life and the consequences of her departure on those she left behind.[3]
