==Plot==
Durr-e-Shehwar's ([[Samina Peerzada]]) daughter, Shandana (Nadia Jamil), and her husband, Mansoor's ([[Qavi Khan]]) nephew, Haider ([[Noman Ejaz]]) have been married to each other for the last eight years. But recently there has been a breach in their relationship due to which Shandana decides to spend some time at her maternal home in Murree along with her young daughter, Sophia (Sophia Syed).

Both Durr-e-Shehwar and Mansoor love Shandana and Sophia a lot. But Shandana envies her mother thinking that she led a comfortable and happy life with a loving husband and nothing to worry about. And thus, she often compares Haider with her father. Shandana also undergoes a stage of semi-depression and evens thinks of divorcing Haider. When Mansoor gets to know this, he gets angry with Haider. He reports this matter to his sister i.e. Haider's mother, thus, further complicating the matter.

Unable to see Shandana in such a devastated condition, finally one day Durr-e-Shehwar decides to narrate her own life story to Shandana and explain that life for her wasn't as easy as Shandana thinks it to be.

When Durr E Shahwar had got married ([[Sanam Baloch]] as Young Dur-e-Shehwar) and moved to Mansoor's ([[Mikaal Zulfiqar]] as Young Mansoor) house, she faced a lot of problems and lost all her comforts and respect that she took for granted in her father’s house. Durr E Shahwar, who’d thought that after her marriage, she’d move with Mansoor to his army allotted house, had to stay with her in-laws, away from him. Mansoor's mother (Saba Faisal) was cold towards her and did not appreciate her for her good qualities. Mansoor also saw her through the eyes of his mother, and therefore disregarded all her efforts. Durr-e-Shehwar had to struggle for years to gain her mother-in-law's acceptance and also the true love of Mansoor, who had earlier neglected her on the words of his mother. Once or twice she even considered moving to her father’s house but she persisited. Through these hardships, what gave her strength was her father’s letters and advice. The greatest advice he gave her when she told him she didn’t love Mansoor, was to pretend until she did. Soon, Mansoor’s attitude changed and he took her away with her, and her in-laws realised her worth. And when Shahwar saw that the average husband and man, Mansoor was a great father, she forgave him, although she never forgot.
Hearing this story, Shandana realised that her mother's life wasn't a bed of roses and being a housewife did not ensure happiness for Durr-e-Shehwar. This did blemish Shandana's respect for her father but it calmed her down and gave her morale to start a new life with Haider, with the letters of her grandfather, that she inherited from her mother.
