[edit] Plot

This is the story of two sisters, Zara (Shehnaz Sheikh) & Sunya (Marina Khan), who lost their parents in a car accident. Their father was an accomplished actor but after this tragedy the sisters realize that their mansion was mortgaged and it had to be sold to repay his debts. The elder sister (Zara) is very emotional and decides that her life's biggest goal would be to repurchase her father's mansion. She works very hard, establishes a business and fulfils that goal. But in the process gets detached from those surrounding her and becomes very lonely. Soon after this she meets with a life threatening accident which leads to a very emotional climax.

Although, this is a very somber series (13 episodes) it does have plenty of light moments. Eventually, it is an essay on relationships which seems as relevant today as it was in 1985.
