It all starts when Jehanzeb and Anya, who have been great friends since their days at art school, realise their feelings for each other and decide to get married. Anya has always been passionate for Filmmaking and aspires to be a film director, but till now she had been suppressing her passions for the sake of her husband and 3 kids. However, one day she gets an opportunity to do a short course of 6 months from a film institute in India. Jehanzeb and his father, Jahangir (Khayyam Sarhadi) are supportive in the decision of taking up this opportunity and ultimately Anya leaves her children with Jehanzeb. After completing the course, Anya gets her first professional offer and this time she is not willing to go back home, which affects her children negatively throughout the series. Facing this kind of negligence at such a pivotal point of time, Jehanzeb decides to play the role of both the parents along with the help of his old friend Maria (Zainab Qayyum). And when Anya returns to Pakistan after a long time, she remains astound to find that her children absolutely belong to their ‘Daddy’.
