The story begins with Haya (Sanam Jung) who’s sharing her excitement with her best friend, Fareeza (Sara Khan) over her cousin Haadi’s (Imran Abbass) return. Haadi was away in London, and then Somalia before making his final stop in Karachi. Haya was raised by Haadi’s parents- who also happen to be her Taaya and Taayi. Haya and Haadi grew up together and were really close- while Haadi treated her like a little sister and friend, Haya mistook his affection for love and ended up dreaming of the day he would marry her. Fareeza pretends to enjoy Haya’s narratives of her one-sided love story but holds a grudge against Haya since she has lived a pampered life. Haya is introduced as being self-absorbed (I love to be a chichoori) and delusional and the presence of the house-help who constantly remind her of her honay wala shohar and shaadi ke gaaney only indulge her further. Though Haadi cares deeply about Haya, he has no romantic inclinations and the two of them are poles apart- kahan wohh duffer aur kahan wohh surgeon! So after living abroad for five years, Haadi is back to his homeland to manage his father’s hospital. But his reason for returning is two-fold; he intends on marrying his cousin Uroosa (Naveen Waqar) who has been his source of strength and constant support while he was away. Uroosa is the daughter of Haadi’s Chacha but they belong to a much lower social class. Uroosa has been instrumental in helping Haadi achieve his dreams and the two of them have stayed in touch over the years. It was nice to see Naveen Waqar in a simple role after playing the home-wrecker Sara in Humsafar. Haadi is undeterred by their differences and as Uroosa puts it, he is iss daur ka Buddah– someone who seeks spiritual enlightenment over material possessions.
