Plot
Maya (Jaffrey) and Zarmeena (Muneer) are sisters who dearly love each other. Their father, Shazeb Khan (Shaikh), loves them dearly, but their stepmother Attiya (Bindiya) dislikes them, especially Maya. She tries to create problems for Maya as she is not the real daughter of Shazeb Khan. Meanwhile, Zarmeena is in love with Faizar (Taimoor) and plans to marry him. Things take a turn for the worse when Attiya conspires with her son Rashid (Zarrar Khan) and kidnaps her. Maya finds out about Rashid's conspiracy as he "deals" with girls and sells them to a brothel, and when she finds this, she attacks Rashid and runs away. She takes refuge in her friend's house Zeb (Amna Karim). Zeb was also a victim of Rashid's web. She tries to help Maya to face fear. Faizar's parents break off the engagement with Zarmeena as Faizar's father knows Attiya as a courtesan. Angered, Faizar leaves the house after the argument with his father. Rashid gets arrested and interrogated by police on orders of Shazeb. Attiya, who bails out Rashid, divorces Shazeb and threatens to destroy him. Maya soon gets a job as a Hotel Manager. After knowing that Maya is Shazeb's illegitimate child, she hates him and runs away. Shazeb suffers from a stroke and is hospitalized. Soon after recovering, he finds Maya she has been kidnapped again by Rashid, who threats Maya to ruin her face with acid. Attiya wants all of Rashid's cases to be withdrawn. Rashid leaves Maya after Shazeb withdraws the case. Rashid gets killed by police after he tries to kill Maya. Maya returns home safely and reconciles with her sister, and Faizar's father stops him from leaving. Faizar marries Zarmeena, and Maya playfully teases Faizar.
