Plot

The story revolves around Sakhina and Nur, who have divorced. Sakhina has since remarried Meher, a man who loves her but struggles to support her and their three children. Nur, who had moved to the Middle East, returns as a wealthy man and has also remarried. As cousins, Nur attempts to assist Meher and Sakhina by offering employment and financial support. However, tension arises when Nur returns a valuable nose-ring to Sakhina. The nose-ring, which Nur had given Sakhina during their marriage and which Meher had pawned for money, causes Sakhina to feel insulted and hurt.
