Plot

The story revolves around Nageen (Hiba Bukhari), who hails from a lower-middle-class background, and Sultan Durrani (Danish Taimoor), a wealthy businessman who hails from a political background. Sultan lost his parents at a very young age and lived with his grandmother Bi Jaan (Ismat Zaidi) ever since. Nageen lives with her sister Nuzhat (Faiza Gillani), brother-in-law Rashid (Noor-ul-Hassan) and Rashid's mother. Nageen only lands menial jobs because she does not have a degree, and is hired as a bus hostess at a private bus company.

Sultan crosses paths with Nageen when his car suddenly stops working on the highway and has no other choice but travel in a bus. In that brief journey, Sultan is drawn to Nageen when he sees her confronting a harasser. Afterwards, he starts travelling by bus every now and then just to meet Nageen but she ignores him and only treats him as a passenger. To seek her attention, Sultan buys all the bus tickets one day to travel alone with Nageen. He expresses his feelings for her but she rejects him because of their class difference. She gets more frightened after a man throws acid on Faryal (Nageen's friend) for refusing his proposal. On the other hand, Sultan's cousin, Narmeen (Zoya Nasir), who wants to marry Sultan, finds out about Nageen and makes a plan to trap her. After a few days, Sultan forcefully tries to put a ring on Nageen's fingers but she refuses and slaps him. Narmeen's secret agent records a video and it goes viral on social media. The video makes Sultan look like a harasser and as a result, his uncle loses general public elections. Nageen reaches out to Sultan for his forgiveness and he accepts her apology. Sultan again proposes to Nageen and she accepts it this time. Nageen's family is very happy with the marriage, but most members of Sultan's family oppose it as they want him to marry Narmeen. On the wedding day, Nageen is kidnapped and every one suspects her of running away with someone else. Sultan calls off the wedding and Nageen's character is questioned in the society.

Nageen is let go after two days. Her family believes that she has either been raped or ran away on her own wish. Nageen tries to assure them that nothing bad happened with her nor she ran away. She has no explanation to give concerning the two-day kidnapping. After a few days, Nageen goes to Sultan to make him believe of her innocence, but Sultan reveals that he was the one who kidnapped her and that the marriage was just a plan to seek revenge from Nageen for the slap and the public humiliation. Nageen is heartbroken. She threatens to expose Sultan in front of the media but Sultan blackmails Nageen with photoshopped intimate pictures. He also pays Rashid (brother-in-law) 50 Lac Rupees to keep their mouth shut.
