0:16You've built up this body
0:18so you can invite people to parties,
0:21just to intimidate and threaten them, haven't you?
0:22To hold a gun to their temples, right?
0:26Have you had your fun now?
0:28Satisfied now that you've ruined the company?
0:35What on earth has happened?
0:37Don't play so innocent.
0:39Everything that happened at the party last night happened right in front of you.
0:42The boy he assaulted is my business partner's son.
0:49After yesterday's incident,
0:52he terminated our partnership.
0:55You must be very happy.
0:57You should be grateful I didn't kill him.
1:06What do you think you are?
1:08Some kind of thug? A gangster?
1:09-A mob boss? -Yes, I am!
1:18For anyone who so much as looks at my wife the wrong way,
1:22that's exactly what I am.
1:30Keep your personal issues to yourself.
1:32Stop being so reckless with my business.
1:35From now on, whatever you do,
1:38you do it on your own two feet. Understood?
1:40Everything I have ever done, I've done on my own.
1:44I’ve never leaned on you for anything.
1:47Oh, is that so?
1:48How dare you glare at me?
1:50You live under my roof and eat my food,
1:51and you have the nerve to glare at me?
1:52Then what should I do?
1:54Become shameless for the sake of your business deals?
1:58Am I supposed to stand by like a coward
2:00and just listen while your partner’s son disrespects my wife?
2:02Tolerate that?
2:05That's not happening.
2:08This business, this empire, I built it myself,
2:11with my own hard work.
2:13That's why I will do whatever I think is right.
2:20Let's see who tries to stop me.
2:23The nerve, questioning me like that.
2:27Now, may I have my breakfast?
2:29No.
2:30You can't just run wild and do as you please.
2:40What the hell is this?
2:44Have you gone mad?
2:47Zulfiqar!
2:48Are you seeing this?
2:51First, he married against my will,
2:55and now he’s destroying my business.
2:59What is he even capable of on his own?
3:00All this money, the bank balance,
3:03the cars, this fortune, it was all given to him by me.
3:10Make him understand.
3:11Tell him that all of this is mine.
3:15If he carries on with this attitude,
3:17he'll end up on the streets one day.
3:19Mark my words.
3:20Iftikhar, have you stopped to consider your own behavior toward him?
3:22How can you keep underestimating him?
3:25He's educated in business, with a degree from abroad.
3:27You constantly belittle him, and that’s why he reacts this way.
3:33You’ve contradicted me your entire life.
3:37You've never understood my point of view,
3:39so why would you start now?
3:40And you? What have you ever done?
3:43Look at your own behavior towards him.
3:45In his entire life, you've never once offered him a kind word.
3:47That's why he holds so much bitterness for you.
3:51Shut up!
4:11How did you manage to find your way here today?
4:13Did you suddenly remember that I exist?
4:15I’ve come on a special errand today.
4:17Really?
4:18And what special errand would that be?
4:21Brother Ahmed asked me to find a good proposal for Noor.
4:26Go on, go make some tea.
4:28So?
4:28Sit down, have a seat.
4:30So what?
4:31An acquaintance of mine is looking for a bride for her son,
4:34and I immediately thought of Noor.
4:36So I came straight to you to talk about it.
4:38But Ahmed never mentioned to me
4:41that he asked you to look for a proposal for Noor.
4:44You can ask him when he comes back.
4:46I came so that you could bring it up with him.
4:50It's a really great match.
4:52Is that so?
4:53What's so special about this match?
4:56Well, he has his own business in Dubai.
4:59He also earns well.
5:01He’s the only heir.
5:03His father is in a senior government position.
5:06She won't have to deal with any sisters-in-law.
5:08It’s just his mother and father at home.
5:11After the wedding, he will take Noor to Dubai with him.
5:15Our Noor will live like a queen.
5:20Yes.
5:22You’re right.
5:24The proposal sounds wonderful.
5:27That is exactly what I am telling you.
5:29In that case, Nasreen, why don't you do one thing?
5:32Why not suggest my Mehwish for him instead of Noor?
5:38For Mehwish?
5:39Yes.
5:40My Mehwish is only a year younger than Noor.
5:45Besides,
5:46a boy's family always prefers younger girls.
5:52But Noor is older,
5:53her wedding should happen first.
5:56I want the same thing.
5:58But what can I tell you?
6:00Our Noor has very high aspirations.
6:04She does not want to get married right now.
6:06She wants to continue her studies.
6:07She says she will not marry until she becomes a doctor.
6:11Oh, but that will take years.
6:14That is why I’m saying
6:15you should talk to them about my Mehwish instead.
6:20What is taking so long with the tea?
6:22See for yourself.
6:23I asked her for one cup of tea,
6:25and she could not even manage that on time.
6:27She's hopelessly clumsy and lazy.
6:30Once I marry her off,
6:31I'll never hear the end of it from her in-laws.
6:34They'll say her mother never taught her a thing,
6:35because she's a stepmother after all.
6:37Yes, you are right.
6:39Let me go check.
6:40Noor!
6:49Right.
6:51Tell me a little about yourself.
6:52Look, Doctor.
6:54First things first, I'm not crazy.
6:57So please don't treat me like one.
6:58What gives you the impression that
7:00we only treat people who are crazy?
7:04Do you see anyone like that here?
7:07I'd like to suggest that you relax
7:11and feel free to share anything with me,
7:15just as you would with your best friend.
7:20So, by the way,
7:22what is your best friend's name?
7:29Hoor.
7:34Is she a friend, or...
7:36My wife is my best friend.
7:38Interesting.
7:40She's the one who's been making appointments for you, isn't she?
7:46Yes.
7:48I see.
7:51So you're here at her request.
7:55That's right.
7:57Okay, Zulfiqar.
7:58Let us openly discuss
8:02what the actual problem is.
8:05What is it that your partner finds so difficult about you that,
8:11as a close friend,
8:14she felt compelled to bring you here?
8:18I understand that discussing our own flaws isn't easy.
8:25It's a very hard thing to do.
8:33Doctor, honestly speaking, I have anger management issues.
8:39I get angry over the little things,
8:42and when I do, my brain just shuts down.
8:46I don't know what comes over me.
8:50I just can't control myself. That's all there is to it.
8:53And do you ever realize that what you're doing is wrong?
8:59No, Doctor.
9:01If I'm in the wrong, then I do apologize.
9:04Yes, I do.
9:06That's a good sign.
9:07It indicates that you're not selfish.
9:11You value people and their feelings.
9:18I'll prescribe some medicines for you.
9:21Take them regularly,
9:23and you'll feel much better.
9:26Now, I want to ask you a personal question.
9:29About this anger issue of yours,
9:33how long has it been happening,
9:36and what exactly do you feel when it happens?
9:38Is there any particular incident or state of mind
9:40that triggers this rage, where you feel helpless?
9:44Does any particular event
9:48or incident come to mind?
9:55No Dad!
9:55-Today, I'll teach you a lesson. -No Dad!
9:56Get over here!
9:57-I'm going to drown you in this very water today! -No Dad!
9:59No Dad!
10:00I'm sorry, I won't make the same mistake again!
10:01Dad, I'm scared of the water, please! No!
10:03Making mistakes is not an option for you.
10:05You are Zulfiqar Shah!
10:08If you ever make another mistake,
10:10I'll kill you with my own two hands,
10:13do you understand me?
10:14I'm sorry, Dad!
10:15I despise the word sorry.
10:17-That's it, I'm killing you today! -No Dad!
10:18-Please don't, Dad. -What do you think you're doing?
10:19Have you gone mad? Let go of him!
10:21Why are you traumatizing him?
10:23A woman like you can't raise him right.
10:25I'm admitting him to a boarding school.
10:26No, never. I won't allow that to happen.
10:28I've made up my mind,
10:30and that's my final decision.
10:31He's going to boarding school.
10:33You stay right here, sweetheart.
10:34I'll go talk to him. I won't let that happen.
10:36Iftikhar, listen to me, you can't do this.
10:37Mind telling me why not?
10:38My son isn't going to a boarding school.
10:39Oh yes, he is.
10:40Don't you dare say a word against it.
10:41Just tell me, how will he live there all by himself?
10:45Don't you worry, my love.
10:46I'll come to see you every weekend.
10:48I'll come visit one weekend,
10:50and you can come home to us the next.
10:53Now, be a good boy and focus on your studies, alright?
10:55Why are you crying like a little girl?
10:58You're a man. Be brave.
11:00Let's go, it's getting late.
11:03And listen here,
11:04if I get even a single complaint about you from that boarding school,
11:07I'll kill you.
11:10Come on.
11:11Hello?
11:47Ugh, I don't feel like studying today.
11:54Zulfiqar Shah, you can't sit here.
11:56Why not?
11:57You're questioning me?
11:58Whoa, he's getting angry!
12:00Look at the way he's glaring.
12:01He's totally gonna hit you!
12:03Are you going to hit us?
12:04Come on then, hit us.
12:05You going to hit me? Do it.
12:09Hey, man, just hit him. What happened?
12:12No way, he won't do it.
12:14He doesn't have the guts.
13:04Hey, what's the matter?
13:05Straighten up your arms.
13:06-Come on, arms in the air. -Oh, run, run, run. Let's run.
13:08Run for your life!
13:11Oh, look! Zulfiqar Shah, what a shame!
13:13Just get out of here.
13:20So, are you enjoying your punishment now?
13:21The principal has summoned your parents, too.
13:23They'll deal with you when they get here.
13:25I swear I'll punch you if you don't get out of here now!
13:30What worse punishment can my parents possibly give me?
13:46I'm so glad we could finally meet today.
13:48I honestly thought our plan would get cancelled again, just like yesterday.
13:51Why did you think that?
13:52Oh, because of what happened yesterday.
13:54Well, I had to take my mom to my uncle's place.
13:56Things ran late, so I couldn't make it. Sorry about that.
13:59Was it something important?
14:01Yeah, we had to give them an invitation to the opening party.
14:04So, why was it necessary for you to go just to deliver an invitation?
14:07Couldn't your mom have gone by herself?
14:11It was Mom who insisted.
14:12You know how it is.
14:14I can never say no to Mom.
14:16Tell me something,
14:18have you spoken to your mom about us getting married yet?
14:20Well, not yet.
14:23But you're coming to the party, right?
14:24Yes.
14:25Great.
14:26I'll introduce you there
14:29and tell everyone you're the girl I've fallen for.
14:33You really think they'll approve?
14:35How could they not?
14:37Oh, look at you! Just look at yourself.
14:40You're an absolute knockout from head to toe.
14:43So, are we going to stand here talking all day?
14:45Come on, I'm starving.
14:56She's hopelessly clumsy and lazy.
14:58Once I marry her off,
15:00I'll never hear the end of it from her in-laws.
15:03They'll say her mother never taught her a thing,
15:04because she's a stepmother after all.
15:11Noor?
15:14Noor, dear, what are you doing?
15:16Could you make me a cup of tea, please?
15:20Greetings.
15:21Greetings.
15:22What's wrong, my child?
15:23Why are you crying?
15:24No, I'm not crying.
15:29Dear, I know everything you're going through is my fault,
15:33and I'll never be able to forgive myself for it.
15:38Dad, I don't have any complaints.
15:41Just let me say it.
15:43If nothing else, it'll be a weight off my chest.
15:48I wish I had given you to Brother Khawar and his wife.
15:54You'd be living a much better life today if I had.
15:58Dad, what are you saying?
16:01Who's Brother Khawar?
16:02To whom would you have given me away?
16:05He was my closest friend from childhood.
16:09He was childless, so I gave him my most precious...
16:15What are you doing, Ahmed?
16:18A secret that was buried twenty years ago with your wife's death,
16:25why dig it up now just to upset Noor?
16:32Dad?
16:34Dad, why are you so quiet?
16:36You were telling me something.
16:37Huh?
16:39It's nothing, my dear.
16:42I have a splitting headache. Just get me a cup of tea.
16:45And please don't cry.
16:47You know your tears are wasted in this house,
16:51and they're far too precious for that.
16:53Please don't cry, my dear. Please don't ever cry.
17:25Create a presentation based on the brief
17:28I provided and email it to me, alright?
17:29Now get to it. Chop chop.
17:31Back to work.
17:59Hello.
18:01What happened?
18:02Why do you sound so down?
18:05I don't.
18:07I'm perfectly fine.
18:10Hoor, you can't let what anyone says affect you.
18:13I know.
18:16I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
18:19The only thing that matters is
18:22that you are Zulfiqar Shah's choice.
18:29Anyway,
18:31have you had lunch?
18:33Not yet.
18:35Not yet?
18:37Do you see what time it is, Hoor?
18:39Zulfiqar, I wasn't hungry.
18:41I wasn't in the mood.
18:43Shiza even came to ask, but I just didn't feel like it.
18:47Your mood has nothing to do with it.
18:49Go and eat something right now.
18:50I'll call you back in an hour.
18:53Cheer up and have some food.
18:56Fine.
18:57I'll go have lunch,
18:59but only because you're telling me to.
19:04That's my girl.
19:07Bye.
19:57That's all, my dear. You may take the dishes away.
19:59Ahmed, what am I saying to you?
20:01Are you even listening?
20:02Yes? What were you saying?
20:04There you go.
20:06When you spoke to Naseem, the matchmaker,
20:09you could have at least let me know.
20:10Look, I've asked countless people about good proposals for our daughters.
20:14How am I supposed to remember every single name?
20:16Did she happen to suggest anyone?
20:18Yes, she did.
20:19I've already asked her to have the boy's family come over.
20:22That's good.
20:24Anyway, tell me,
20:25have you gotten any feelers from Sister?
20:27What are her intentions for Salar?
20:32That topic has never come up.
20:34But why the sudden interest in Salar?
20:38I'm sitting here with the weight of three grown daughters on my shoulders.
20:42If I don't ask about it, who will?
20:45Alright.
20:46She's quick enough to shower her other nieces with gifts out of charity,
20:52but it has never crossed your sister's mind
20:54to make one of her poor brother's daughters her daughter-in-law.
20:59Perhaps she's simply not interested in the idea.
21:03Well, if she isn't interested,
21:04then make her interested.
21:07We can't let three grown daughters torment us indefinitely.
21:12They'll have to get married eventually, you know.
21:15Relax, it'll happen.
21:17God is merciful. Why are you stressing out?
21:22Of course I'm stressed,
21:25but never mind.
21:27Forget it.
21:29It's like my daughters are invisible to your sister.
21:33It's up to us to do something.
21:36We're the only ones who are going to find good husbands for our girls.
21:41They're coming next week.
21:44They want the wedding to happen soon.
21:48Alright then, invite them over. We'll sit down and talk.
22:01She would be about Noor's age by now.
22:05But God knows where they went.
22:06I don't have any way to contact them.
22:12Even the US number Khawar gave me is disconnected now.
22:17How am I supposed to find out anything about them?
22:19How can I possibly track them down?
22:27I know that you and Sister-in-law will cherish her more than life itself.
22:35What you have done for me,
22:36there's no way to repay it.
22:39But if I could somehow return the favor of this friendship,
22:41I'd be grateful.
22:44The two of us had completely given up hope
22:47of ever being blessed with a child.
22:50But you've given my wife and me new meaning in life.
22:55From now on, this child is not mine, but yours.
23:04This secret stays between the two of us.
23:08Don't you worry.
23:18I should go now.
23:20Goodbye.
23:22May God reward you for this.
23:24Goodbye.
23:37Shush, it's alright, it's okay.
23:39Come here.
23:41Come to daddy.
23:46You're my Noor, aren't you?
23:50My Noor.
23:51You're my Noor.
23:53Noor.
23:58Please forgive me, Sania.
24:02I have wronged you.
24:05I never told you that you had given birth to twin daughters.
24:15Yes, Khawar, how are you?
24:17Is everything alright?
24:18By the way, Ahmed, your daughter Hoor
24:21turns exactly one year old today.
24:23She's not my daughter.
24:24She's yours.
24:25Only yours.
24:27I told you we would never bring this up again.
24:31Yes, of course. My daughter, Hoor.
24:34She just turned one.
24:36I can't believe how time flies.
24:38So, what about you?
24:40How are Noor and Sister-in-law?
24:43Hello? Ahmed?
24:46Can you hear me, Ahmed?
24:50Hello?
24:53How can anything be fine?
24:55My wife passed away last month.
25:04Why didn't you tell me?
25:06She had sudden heart failure due to high blood pressure.
25:11She's gone and left me all alone.
25:13What could I have possibly told you? I've been lost in grief.
25:17Now, I have no idea
25:19how I'm going to raise my baby on my own.
25:22You need to stay strong.
25:24You have your daughter to take care of.
25:27If you don't look after her, then who will?
25:29I understand.
25:30I know I'm far away, but don't ever think I'm not here for you.
25:33Whenever you need anything at all, just call me, without any hesitation.
25:37Of course.
25:38Goodbye.
25:46Here, look.
25:47She messaged me.
25:48I tried calling, but she wouldn't pick up.
25:50What do you think?
25:52Hmm. Sure, he's alright.
26:02Oh, Mom,
26:04you're the only one who can help me decide today.
26:06These clothes are the last keepsakes I have from you.
26:08I'm going to wear one of them.
26:10Oh, this outfit is gorgeous.
26:12But it's so fancy, Mom.
26:15You really did like your fancy outfits, didn't you?
26:18And look at this saree.
26:24It's stunning, but I have no idea how to drape it.
26:28Another one.
26:32You had so many sarees.
26:35Wow, this is really fancy, too,
26:38Mom.
26:40And this right here.
26:42This is your wedding dress.
26:45You must have looked absolutely breathtaking in this color.
26:50You know what? I've made up my mind.
26:52On my wedding day,
26:54I'll wear your dress.
26:59Oh, I actually look quite pretty in this.
27:02Wow.
27:04But that still doesn't solve my problem.
27:06What should I wear today?
27:08Mom. What do I wear?
27:10What should I wear? What should I wear?
27:11Oh.
27:12Let me see what else we have here.
27:15Oh.
27:17What's this?
27:18Here we go.
27:21I can wear this one.
27:23What do you think?
27:24It looks good, right?
27:27That's it. It's decided.
27:28This is what I'm wearing today.
27:36You may not be here, but that's okay.
27:42I can still smell your scent on them.
28:15How much longer are you going to keep pining over Zulfiqar Shah?
28:18He's a married man now.
28:21That's right,
28:23and even Hira's getting engaged this weekend.
28:25Out of all our friends, it's just you left now.
28:30Just give up on him already.
28:32He's never going to be interested in you.
28:41Seriously,
28:42you're just wasting your time on him.
28:45He has eyes only for Hoor.
28:48It's a miracle
28:49he's even here today without her.
28:52She's pregnant.
29:00You know he's taking extra special care of her these days.
29:03That's why he didn't bring her.
29:05He's about to become a father.
29:08Are you still holding out hope for him?
29:11What's wrong with you, Maria?
29:13What's so special about Zulfiqar Shah anyway?
29:15Zulfiqar means nothing to me.
29:20All that matters is the commitment between our families.
29:24And once something belongs to me,
29:27it's mine for keeps.
29:39Zulfiqar Shah isn't just some thing.
29:44Whatever.
29:46Either way, he's marrying me.
30:13Thank you. Thank you.
30:14Thank you, everyone.
30:16So, did you see that?
30:19Yay. Congratulations, my love.
30:22You played so well.
30:24A huge congratulations on your win.
30:27What's the big deal?
30:28Why didn't you just let me come?
30:50See you soon. Okay.
31:01Noor!
31:02Hey, Noor!
31:03Don't shout. I'm right here.
31:06Oh, ironing, are we?
31:10Are you wearing this?
31:14Where did this outfit come from?
31:16When did you buy it?
31:17How would I have gotten it?
31:20That's precisely what I'm asking.
31:21We certainly didn't get you such a nice outfit.
31:24Who gave it to you?
31:26This dress belongs to my mom.
31:28I found it in an old trunk of clothes and kept it.
31:32Do you have a problem with that?
31:35Why were you yelling?
31:37Mom's calling for you, go and listen to what she has to say.
31:41Noor!
31:44Noor!
31:45Coming!
32:16Her mom's dress, huh?
32:36Unbelievable.
32:37She can't even get herself a glass of water.
33:01Mom.
33:35Congratulations.
33:38You came all this way and weren't even going to say hi?
33:41Thanks.
33:43I just came to play the match.
33:44Now that it's over, I'm leaving.
33:45Come on, stay.
33:47Let's have coffee.
33:48No.
33:50I have zero interest in getting coffee with you.
33:53You can have it on your own.
33:54Why is it that the more I try to get closer to you,
33:58the harder you push me away?
34:02Well, thank God for that.
34:03At least you've finally noticed.
34:05Is this really how you're going to act,
34:07after the promise our fathers made?
34:09Yeah.
34:10This is exactly how I act.
34:12So what?
34:13But why?
34:14Because I'm not interested in you.
34:16Well, I am.
34:22If you're interested,
34:24that's your problem, not mine.
34:26I know everything, Zulfiqar.
34:29She was just some mistake from your college days, I know it.
34:31Just leave her.
34:32Hey.
34:34I would sacrifice a thousand girls like you for Hoor.
34:38From this day on,
34:40don’t you ever let her name cross your lips again.
34:43I’ve been deceived.
34:47Your dad gave me his word.
34:49Dad gave you his word, not me, right?
34:52So go annoy him instead.
34:55Stop bothering me.
34:56Zulfiqar.
34:59Zulfiqar, what’s wrong with me?
35:01What am I lacking?
35:02The only thing you lack is
35:05that you are not Zulfiqar Shah’s choice.
35:08Got it?
35:11Don’t you bother me.
35:19Perhaps what you don’t realize is
35:22that in my eyes, you’re completely worthless.
35:26But know this.
35:28Now, you’re an obsession,
35:31and I always get what I want.
35:45Ugh, this scarf is so hard to carry.
35:46But I look pretty, don’t I?
35:51Then again, not as pretty as me.
35:54Is everyone ready? We’re running late, let’s go.
36:00Why the long face?
36:03Huh?
36:04Are you really going to your aunt’s house with that miserable look on your face?
36:08You want her to think we’re all abusing you?
36:12Not at all.
36:14What’s wrong? Why are you so gloomy?
36:19My mom’s dress got burned.
36:21Oh!
36:22Oh no.
36:25What a shame.
36:26Yes, I heard about that.
36:28I heard it was the last thing you had of your mom’s.
36:33Who told you to hold onto things from the dead in the first place?
36:38It was bound to get burned, and it did.
36:39Of course.
36:40You’re absolutely right, Mom.
36:42Alright, everyone, let’s go.
36:44Come on. The car’s here, and we’re already late.
36:46Come on, dear. Come on now.
36:47Don’t be long.
36:49Here you go.
36:51Make sure to lock up the house well before you come.
36:52Come on, already.
36:53Yes, yes, I’m coming!
37:14Dad.
37:16What are these lies you’re spreading about me?
37:25What are you trying to say? Spit it out.
37:27That you’re arranging the marriage of your friend Jawad Faridi’s daughter,
37:31Maria Faridi, to your son, Zulfiqar Shah.
37:39Yes, and what part of that news is a lie?
37:42You know perfectly well that I’m already married,
37:45madly in love with my wife,
37:49and yet you pulled this stunt?
37:50You married Hoor out of sheer stubbornness.
37:54I always wanted Maria to be my daughter-in-law.
37:57Anyway, you had your way, and I allowed it.
38:01Now, you will do as I say.
38:03You will be getting married to Maria.
