Plot

The story starts with Muskan (Neelam Muneer), who is soon to be engaged. She has a younger sister, Iraj (Sanam Chaudhry). Muskan and Iraj always quarrel with each other because they are rich brats who have no manners or no respect, but they love their mother, Shaista, and their mother loves them too. They have an elder brother Zeeshan (Agha Ali), he loves both his sisters but hates their attitude. The mother and the daughters hate their father's brother Baseer and his family. His family consists of him, his wife Nayyara (Ismat Zaidi) and three daughters Fala (Madiha Rizvi), Haya (Ayeza Khan) and Fariya (Minal Khan). They all are well-mannered but middle-class as compared to Shaista. Shaista always insults Nayyara and treats her daughters as servants. Muskaan goes to her aunt Nayyara's house, where she asks Fala to do her pedicure and manicure as Fala had done many parlour courses but says not to even do anything to her face, as she will do that from some other place, and tells to wear good clothes during engagement. The family has a cloth-sewing business, while Haya goes to office. Zeeshan always offers to drop her, but she rejects. Shaista comes to Nayyara's house and insults her by giving some cloth and tells her to sew and wear this during Muskan's engagement. She always treats Nayyara's family very harshly.

Muskaan's father Nazir comes from Dubai with lots of things for her daughters and wife, but Zeeshan is fine with it. Iraj likes a bottle of perfume because of which Muskaan is jealous and they start fighting like cats resulting in breaking of perfume bottle. But their mother Shaista is busy looking in things. Love is the only emotion between Nayyara's daughters while Iraj and Muskaan are always fighting like cats. Nazir goes to Nayyara's house and it is later revealed that he used to love Nayyara in his younger days. It was Shaista who had come between them. Nayyara used to like Nasir, but Nayyara respects him now. He gives some money to her daughters out of love, and Iraj sees this. The next day during the engagement, Iraj starts insulting Nayyara's daughters. Danish's aunt Naima (Seemi Pasha) visits Fala and starts liking her. She is interrupted by Shaista, and she asks for a family photo. Naima tells Fala to come, but Shaista insults Fala. Afterwards, Shaista calls Haya and Fala for work and gives them spoilt naans" for breakfast.

The next day, Iraj is talking loudly on her phone in Muskaan's room. Muskaan receives a call from Daanish, her fiance at the same time. Because of Iraj's voice, Muskaan cuts the phone, and then later Iraj climbs on Muskaan, and they start fighting. Their father comes. Meanwhile, Danish comes to meet Muskaan, and so Shaista calls Fala as a servant. Danish meets Fala and asks her for her reply of Ayaan's proposal.
