While the promos flaunted Zara Noor Abbas as Feroza, a key character resplendent in courtesan costumes, it turned out she was actually just a cameo appearance. She dies early on in the serial, leaving us with a bewildering medley of three generations of characters at the focal kotha, and another dozen characters not connected to the Bagnio.
Sitara Begum’s (Bushra Ansari) daughter Feroza, who eloped with the connivance of her evil aunt Dildar (Asma Abbas), has died. Her son Khayyam (Shehroz Sabzwari) lives at Sitara Begum’s kotha as the angry young man who hates everything about it. He wants to complete his education, find a job and scoot with cousin Gaiti Ara (Sarah Khan in another soppy role), whom he is soon to be engaged to, and tries to protect her from getting involved in courtesanal activities. Gaiti Ara is Sitara Begum’s grand-daughter from Nagina (Nausheen Khan), Feroza’s sister.
The only intriguing character, if at all, is the vamp Almas (Sarah Elahi), Dildar’s grand-daughter and the prime entertainer at the kotha. She loves Khayyam while he hates her, and she has resolved to destroy Gaiti and Khayyam’s relationship.
